At this point I think he's right, at least as far as WWE. AJ's obviously great but he wrestled Jericho, Edge, and Randy Orton at Wrestlemania and none of the matches were special. Rollins had the match of the night imo two Wrestlemanias in a row.

I'm still dumbfounded as to how his WM34 match with Nak' ended up being so damn underwhelming.SMDH.

If you think about all the awesome things of an flippy indy wrestler, then mold him to WWE/old school style a bit. More psychology, character work, I mean. There is no one better in the E than him.

He could work any match, any opponent, any gimmick, good on the mic, believable.

If we are talking someone who you can always depend on, and not just the one that is most marketable or they want as the golden child, fukk Brock and Roman, Seth got that in my opinion.

I know some y'all getting tired of this drip joker gimmick, but I love it and it seems like he having fun he's won me over.

And for reference the person who I used to have ranked number 1 in this type of class for the E is AJ Styles, but thought he's slowed down just a bit the past couple years and hasn't really shined in a storyline for awhile..

This guy is gonna have a job in the ‘E for life. All of the positive attributes already mentioned here, not to mention how he comes off in the interviews and media junkets. A professional through and through.

Occasional Nick Khan fukkery aside I don’t ever see Seth or Becky getting let go or (at this point) dipping on their own

They overhyped it with all that "dream match" marketing. It wasn't even about the title, it was about two guys wrestling the greatest technical wrestling match in wrestling history. It was supposed to be Undertaker/Michaels reincarnated. Even Corey Graves said right before the match that we were going to get a classic.

When you do that, there's no way the match can live up to the expectations. Especially when you have a way better match to compare it to.

Legit shocked at Seth’s longevity with WWE. I know I wasn’t the only one who projected doom for him when they eventually would split The Shield up way before the chair from Seth broke it up. I always thought he would be out first, but he improved his talking and it shows others just put the work in and something will come out of it!:ehh:

Seth Rollins is that dude right now in wwe. You can place him Anywhere on the card and he’ll deliver :ehh:

he’s toned down a lot of the needless floppy shyt too in favor of character work and ring psychology :ehh:

but I still love that superplex Falcón arrow combo :ohlawd::ohlawd:

Aj styles used to be number one for me in wwe, but he's slowed down a lot these years but still talented

They did this same with AJ/Nak. The entire build was “hey these guys wrestled great matches in Japan, BUT NOW THEY’RE ON THE GRANDEST STAGE OF THEM ALL!!”

A couple years ago before Roman stepped up, Bryan and Punk were retired and Kenny was less main stream I might have agreed

But including Roman today Id put him at 4 or 5 in North America...maybe tying with Kingston
