WWE News: Scott Hall Responds To Seth Rollins Being An Unsafe Worker

Seth Rollins should have sustained a great wrestling career when he was called up to the main roster with the Shield. Alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, Rollins was on top of the wrestling world. The Shield went on a masterful winning streak in the WWE and eventually held two titles within their first year of existence. Rollins and Reigns were WWE Tag Team champions, while Ambrose held the United States championship for over 200 days.

Then, the Shield broke up, and Rollins was chosen by the Authority to represent the future of the WWE. Triple H, Vince McMahon, and the rest of the WWE brass figured it’d be best for Rollins and his career in professional wrestling. His chase for the title ended at WrestleMania 31 when he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and became the WWE World Heavyweight champion. That’s where his career changed forever.

Rollins was a fighting champion, and during his big heel run, he held the WWE World Heavyweight championship for multiple months. He had great matches against John Cena, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns. It was as if he was meant to be WWE champion. Then, he began to get a reputation that still hasn’t been shaken off. He retired Sting with a buckle bomb in the corner. The whiplash Sting received forced the wrestling legend to stop competing in the ring.

A few months later, Rollins broke Cena’s nose doing a flying knee to his face. The 15-time WWE champion was forced to miss a few months of action. Even months after that, Rollins performed his buckle bomb move on Finn Balor in his first WWE Universal title match, and Balor was forced to get shoulder surgery. As a result, the stigma of Rollins being an unsafe worker hasn’t left and only gets bigger. Many WWE legends have commented on Rollins, but now Scott Hall responded to Seth Rollins being an unsafe worker in the ring.

“Certainly Seth was never intending to hurt anybody, and you’ve got to remember that Sting hadn’t wrestled much in the past five years and he was in his fifties.

“It’s really becoming en vogue for a lot of these new guys to do moves on the apron. That’s becoming really trendy, and that’s where the ring is really hard. Powerbombing someone on the apron or into the turnbuckle, those are not moves Sting and I grew up with.

“He wasn’t really conditioned to take it, he hadn’t practiced it, and I think he whiplashed his 56-year-old neck. It’s a shame to see a guy of that caliber go out with an injury, but he had a great run. But no, Seth is not reckless.”

As for other legends in the WWE to comment Rollins’ bad luck in the ring, Bret Hart is notorious for ripping on Rollins. In a recent article by the Inquisitr, Hart’s brother, Smith Hart, did the same thing earlier in 2016. WWE fans even replied to the stereotype Rollins has unceremoniously made for himself. It’s met with a mixed bag of opinions from wrestling fans across the world.

However, not everybody believes that about Rollins. Mick Foley, the Monday Night Raw general manager, backed up his WWE Raw superstar in a post back in October.

There’s nothing worse than creating a reputation in the WWE. It seems to follow that particular wrestler around until it’s either forgotten or they will find another thing to analyze. For Rollins, it should diminish over time. The WWE isn’t recognizing it because that will bring negative attention to their golden boy.
