Seth Rollins Discusses Making Up For His Lack Of Size With A Larger Than Life Character

Seth Rollins believes having a larger than life character is key for wrestlers like him.

Seth Rollins is quite possibly on one of the most entertaining parts of his WWE career as “The Visionary.”

When asked about creating a larger-than-life character as a perceived smaller wrestler by SPORT1, Rollins went into detail about how he feels about the question.

I was never visually the prototype of a WWE superstar. I don’t look like John (Cena), Roman or (Hulk) Hogan, never did it and never will. That’s why I never received as a gift from what they received. Don’t misunderstand: All those mentioned had to or have to work enormously hard and I admire very much what John Cena and Hulk Hogan have achieved. And I admire what Roman is doing now. But the truth is also: Someone like me doesn’t get the ball as naturally as they got it. People like me who don’t have a certain size have to work non-stop all the time. Shawn Michaels had to, Randy Savage had to, Eddie Guerrero and even Bret Hart. We have to wrestle up, fight ourselves upwards in all the senses of the word, that is the package we carry. Becky (Lynch) has become one of the biggest stars in the history of our industry with her personality, she is now the greatest wrestler of all time for me. And you can see from it: There is more than one way to be “larger than life.” If you are already in terms of physical conditions, it is definitely easier, but there is another way. You don’t have to look like Hulk Hogan or John Cena. Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are also “larger than life.” In the end, it’s not about the physical conditions, it’s about what you make of your prerequisites.”
