As the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins is riding high as one of the top stars in the wrestling world. Having toiled for years on the independent circuit, nobody can begrudge the man of his success, he's clearly a hard-working talent who takes pride in his work. One thing not often associated with Rollins is being outspoken, but that's exactly what he was during a recent run of interviews. This week, Seth Rollins expressly stated that people needed to put the argument about exactly what WWE meant to the wrestling world to bed, because the show isn't even a wrestling show, it's a TV show about a wrestling show. It may surprise a few fans that Rollins has this viewpoint, but it does directly correlate with how World Wrestling Entertainment have pictured themselves for years, putting a lot of emphasis on the last word - 'Entertainment' - in that name.
