Zitat des Tages von Seth Rollins:
I watched the documentary 'I Hate Christian Laettner,' and I really hate Christian Laettner. It made me understand why everybody hates Christian Laettner and Duke basketball. I mean, they're just a bunch of preppy white boys from Tobacco Road or whatever.
I honestly think my top moment, personally, was main eventing 'Hell in the Cell' because of what that meant overall in the grand scheme of things.
I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest; I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there.
I feel like, for me, I've become smarter. I've become a more intelligent wrestler. I've become a more intelligent performer, and I think that shows.
My character is very polarising, sure.
I'm a huge proponent of eating real food and eating a lot if it.
The Shield had run its course as a three-man group, and we'll go down in history as one of the greatest factions of all time.
My biological dad was Armenian. My last name is Lopez, and I have a darker complexion, which throws people for a loop. My mother's first husband is Mexican. That's where I got Lopez.
Over the course of three years or so, I've been able to create a nice little Rolodex of CrossFit gyms. I've ingratiated myself to the community, and that allows for a much more accessible training session as far as privacy is concerned.
I grew up a huge fan of the WWE.
I want to be the best ever.
I consider myself an athlete. I train like an athlete, I eat like an athlete, I recover and get sore just like any other athlete.
Getting to share the ring with guys I idolized is never going to stop being surreal for me.
Usually, I get a bowl from Chipotle with rice and veggies and some meat and gotta get some guac on there because that's the best part.
I didn't have any pedigree or any last name that would get me an opportunity to get looked at by WWE.
I try not be an evildoer on the Internet.
If you've never been to a live WWE event, it's pretty awesome. A few hours of action-packed family fun. Bring everybody, from your babies to your grandparents.
Injuries make you stronger.
Breakfast, for me, is usually some sort of omelette with some meat and veggies and potatoes and some good coffee. Then I'll usually do that into a workout, and I'll follow my workout with a shake, which is mostly protein and a little carb.
I'm firmly entrenched in the Seth Rollins character. It is so close to who I am as a person, we're almost overtly intertwined.
If you asked me whose spot do I want, I'd say I want John Cena's spot, so to beat him at WrestleMania would be a feather in my cap, for sure.
As athletes, we train and travel so much, a lot of times our needs are not met calorically. But I don't like eating to be a chore, so I kind of just go with the flow.
There's definitely pieces of Samoa Joe in the Seth Rollins repertoire, so it's cool he's part of the company now - something you thought you'd never see.
I don't see myself in the ring as a high flyer or brawler or technical guy, but I feel I can do everything, work with everybody, and bring out the best in different people.
Fake is, like, the worst word you could possibly use to describe anything, you know?
Philadelphia is kind of like a Mecca for professional wrestling, especially the old ECW Arena down in South Philly. That's the place I always wanted to wrestle growing up, and I got that opportunity when I worked with Ring of Honor.
In life, if you're not learning from every experience, even the bad ones, you're really messing up. That's the marker of a smart, intelligent individual.
You just can't be someone else all the time; you just have to be you sometimes.
I love tag team wrestling. I've loved it my whole life.
Don't get me wrong - our fanbase is super passionate, and I love them, but there's a difference between stalking me at the airport and just happening to see me.
I've always had the upmost confidence in my abilities as well as the other guys in The Shield. We all have kind of have the same mindset as far as success, personally and professionally.
A lot of celebrities who come on WWE, they don't know what to expect. And sometimes our crowd and our fans eat them up.
For me, I know my capabilities and the spectrum I can cover as an entertainer.
When I get home off a long week, I go to the gym, have a great workout, and then I go home and order a giant taco pizza with a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
I was lucky enough at a young age to find out what I had a passion for, but whatever you've got a curiosity for, just give it a shot.
I've done bingo halls and tents in front of 10 people with a cow mooing in the background. Doing that and then going to WrestleMania and the Superdome and wrestling in front of 80,000 people is night and day.
