‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin recently reviewed all of the matches at Wrestlemania 33 on his podcast: The Steve Austin Show. In his review of the match between Seth Rollins and Triple H, the ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ had some interesting comments about Seth.

Austin argues that Seth Rollins’ character is not very well-defined. He says that he still doesn’t understand exactly who he is as a character:
“Who is Seth Rollins? When you say Seth Rollins, or you say Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, I still don’t have a sense of what or who this guy is. That rests on Seth Rollins’ shoulder as an individual to define or create that, as well as the WWE. I still don’t get a sense of what kind of personality he is. He’s not electrifying like The Rock, he’s not anti-authority like Stone Cold, or like The Deadman, so OK, than what is he?”
He continued, saying that he needs to look at someone like Bret Hart who doesn’t have a huge personality but was able to properly define his character as ‘The Hitman’:
“Look at another guy who, if I dare say, was a little introverted but obviously had an ego in Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. Not a larger-than-life personality, but the genuineness of his character was he was ‘The Hitman’ and he was a badass – the ‘Excellence of Execution,’ the best there is, was, and ever will be. Bret wasn’t an over the top guy, he was a pretty humble and quiet individual outside the ring. In many regards, he was somewhat like Seth – though, in many regards, Bret is an entirely different animal – but there is a case of a guy who was not a showy kind of guy, but rather conservative, and had a highly-defined, a badass gimmick, a world-class worker. Seth needs to work on this.”

You can listen to the podcast here. Like Us:
yes, I agree… seth certainly hasn’t killed it since turning baby face. perhaps its just me, but its hard to take anything he says seriously. that nasally voice is a little unbecoming. and when he gets going, he sometimes has a hard time emphasizing certain words and it can almost get lost in translation. you can also tell that mostly everything he says is scripted. and when you can’t improvise or go off the script, it can hurt you… especially when there are a ton of words WWE doesn’t like their performers using. he often gets words jumbled up in his head and catches himself before potentially saying one of the band words.
