10 Traditions WWE Needs To Embrace In Order To Turn Things Around

5. As A Talker, Seth Rollins Is Not The Rock. Therefore, It's Time To Stop Talking

WWE needs to play to its strength right now, which is having a roster filled with a set of hyper-athletic freaks who create instantaneously compelling action. I can't imagine anyone who *truly* enjoys Seth Rollins' paint-by-numbers heel promos, or who enjoy Triple H getting his "evil Vince" wings and Stephanie McMahon attempting to play "stern corporate boss." In WWE opting for more of a brand that pushes action, action and more action, they'd actually be doing themselves a great benefit. Sure, there's a place for talking. Paul Heyman is in the company's employ, and The New Day are incredibly solid at it, too. Seth Rollins? He's the hyper-athletic villain in a Marvel comic film, the evil guy at the top of the mountain who definitely says that he's going to beat you, but would rather spend more time relishing the fact that he's doing so. Again, it's a small fix that can pay huge dividends.
