Seth was...appalled by WWE's standards when he first experienced company life.

Laurinaitis told him to go train with Tom Prichard, but things got off to a frosty start 'cause Tom didn't know this lanky indy worker was turning up at his training school. Rollins, who refused to keep anything close to the vest on 'Broken Skull', told Austin that the place was a "piece of sh*t warehouse" in the middle of nowhere.

This was pre-Performance Center, of course. Seth had expected to rock up to some world class facility, get his WWE-branded gear and take things from there. He definitely didn't picture himself rolling into a crappy, cold warehouse to be faced with a ticked-off Skip from The Bodydonnas.

The guy had been ROH World Champion mere weeks before, and he viewed this WWE thing as a colossal step down. That's incredible to read about considering the facilities WWE have now. Seth's first company adventure sucked balls.
