10 Best Teenage Wrestlers In The Business

7. Seth Rollins

Born Colby Lopez in Davenport, Iowa, the future Seth Rollins debuted in 2003 at sixteen or seventeen years old. The match took place in his home promotion Scott County Wrestling, performing under the oddly testicular name of Gixx. Here€™s a little-seen video of (allegedly) that first ever match, although obviously I can€™t vouch for whether it€™s genuinely his debut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z2V8nyeneQ Lopez began getting into performing in pretty much the same way as every other wrestling-crazy kid in mid-West America€ in backyards, performing dangerous spots he'd seen on TV with no training whatsoever. Lopez was always a little different, though. At the age of fourteen, he was running actual backyard wrestling shows with his friends every month, discovering that he had a natural aptitude for a more athletic, aerial moveset. At sixteen, he€™d pretty much decided that he wanted to be a professional wrestler, and only a wrestler. He began training, and made the move to SCW the following year. He was nineteen when he attended WrestleMania XXII in April 2006, and made himself a promise: that it€™d be the last WrestleMania he attended as a fan. Next time he was at the big show, he€™d be wrestling on the card. That€™s pretty ambitious for a skinny kid from Iowa, right? Well, according to a much more recent interview, one of his first ever wrestling characters was called God€ and his finish was a 630 splash through a table. €˜Ambitious€™ has nothing on Seth Rollins.
