Seth Rollins has been dealing with a lot of negativity on social media recently...most of which has been self inflicted after some controversial comments about wrestlers like Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay. Despite that, he obviously still has to deal with a lot of trolls and has now spoken out about what that's like as a WWE Superstar.
"Its funny because it’s not just wrestling, it’s not just WWE, that’s kind of how it is in the world," he tells The Daily Star. "Twitter seems to be this cesspool of negativity where its so easy to focus on what you don’t like rather than what you do like. People seem to band around negativity, I don’t know if it’s one of those misery loves company type things."
After talking about how different things were when he was younger before the advent of social media, Rollins went on to say that it's "frustrating" seeing the way things are going.
"I am coming from an era when we didn’t have social media, when I was a teenager it was before social media was a thing. It about is trying to adapt to that culture but not really understanding why we use it so much for negativity. Even things like petitioning for a Game of Thrones re-shoot on the final season, or complaining about The Little Mermaid being black. I just can’t wrap my head around it—maybe I am too old. I don’t think it’s a productive part of society when it’s so negative the whole time."
Rollins has also been very negative lately so he could probably do with taking some of his own advice here. However, he makes a lot of valid points and there's no denying that social media is continuing to get more and more toxic as time goes on.
