Wrestling's BIG DUMB IDIOTS Who Thought They Were COOL! ?
4. Seth Rollins (2019)
30 years on from Randy Savage losing his cool once and for all, a man that'd later be compared to him did the same.
It took Seth Rollins a long time to find the magic formula as a WWE singles star, especially after his first run at it was terminated by an unfortunate injury when he was on the crest of a wave. As the heel Champion in 2015, he was well on the way, but it took until 2022 and the complete transformation into a Seth Freakin Rollins gimmick that actually made sense (sort of) for him to be booked and received as the star he fought to become.
In 2019, it looked like he was never going to make it.
Fresh off of daring to suggest that possibly the worst ever version of WWE was the "Best pro wrestling on the planet. Period" and getting into an embarrassing spat with Will Ospreay, he tried to big league Brock Lesnar by mocking him in a segment right out of the Vince McMahon schoolyard mockery playbook. It only widened the gap between both men, and took a miracle in-ring job by both Champion and Challenger to make a SummerSlam title change feel believable.
