13 Things We Learned From Seth Rollins On Talk Is Jericho
10. Criticism From Bret Hart
While discussing the pressure he felt, Seth admits that it came solely from himself, not any of the fans or the boys in the locker room, but does confess that one person was critical of him when he was injured: Bret Hart.
Rollins says that he has all the respect in the world for Bret and that The Hitman is one of the guys who inspired him to become a pro wrestler, so when he leveled criticisms his way it genuinely hurt his feelings. Hart did an interview and made comments about Rollins not being a safe worker, and then faulted him for being hurt while he was the champion because people were relying on him as the top guy.
Seth says it sucked to hear that from someone who had to know how hard he was working every night, and Jericho doesn't understand Bret's point, reminding us that Rollins had no say in the matter and Hart's own career came to an end at the hands of a routine wrestling move.
