10 Great WWE Characters That Have Grown Stale

2. Seth Rollins

Maybe a move to SmackDown will breathe new life into whatever Seth Rollins is supposed to be, but the subsequent move of the Mysterio family doesn't fill fans with optimism. Well, that and WWE's general creative malaise, of course. Moving to SmackDown might open up a whole new world for Rollins, but realistically it means fans can look forward to monotonous promos about nothing in particular now taking place on Friday, as opposed to Monday.

The Monday Night Messiah was an engaging direction for Rollins to begin with, a character that enjoyed a good turn and also gave new impetus to a now-released Authors of Pain. Rollins never had the charisma to pull off the promos of a cult leader but he more than looked the part. Besides, part of a being a cult leader involves not quite being what you claim to be.

But drawn-out promos in a monotonous voice don't make for particularly exciting television, especially when the same promos happen week after week after week. Rollins is in need of a change, and hopefully, the move to Friday nights will light a spark under the former Universal Champion. He is the sort of performer who doesn't need a gimmick outside of 'man who is really good at wrestling', so why not drop all the droning and just get the job done between the ropes?

Sweet jacket though.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
