WWE Superstar, Seth Rollins was a recent guest on Lillian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast where he spoke about the recent Extreme Rules crowd and more. Below are some highlights with a H/T to Rajah.com for the transcriptions.
The Extreme Rules crowd:
“I know it really messed with Dolph. He was super out of synch from how he normally is. I was okay. I just let them do their thing. I knew we had 30 minutes and by the end of it, I knew they’d be invested in what we were doing and I think they were. It was okay, it was a weird one though. Sometimes I don’t understand the, “I’m gonna be here bored, you’ve been sitting there for 5 hours, just trying to find anything to keep yourself entertained”, but I never understood the concept of coming to the show and doing anything other than watching the show. I don’t know, I can’t imagine it, but whatever. It is what it is. They pay the money, they can do what they want.”
Sting’s positive comments:
“That’s quite the compliment considering the people that he’s been in the ring with. I don’t know if there’s any higher compliment I’ve ever been paid to be honest with you from a professional standpoint and a personal standpoint. Sting’s a guy that I looked up to for a very long time and I dressed up as him for Halloween when I was a kid. Twice, two years running! To have a compliment from a guy like that, that’s a really special thing.”
Dealing with his 2015 injury:

“I remember it happening. I remember the feeling, but I still didn’t believe it was as serious as it was. It took a day because we had to get the MRI and then I took a nap and I ended up getting a call from the doctor and he’s like, “Yeah, you pretty much tore everything you need. You’re definitely not doing anything for a while.” I remember getting the call and it was almost like a calmness. Obviously, I was disappointed, I didn’t really know how to handle it. I’ve never really taken that much time off ever.
Part of me was relieved in a sense that I was going to get the opportunity to not have all this pressure on me all the time and get to spend time at home. I was in the middle of a white-hot run. I just won the title at Mania, I held onto it for months and months, it was November now so we’re looking at eight months. It took the wind out of my sails. In every sense, I work all the time. I don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t doing something, so all that emphasis that I put on working out or being on the road or my craft and my artform, I just put all emphasis into the rehab process.”
What he struggles with today:
“I was a huge introvert and I still carry some of that with me. I’m obviously better at it now. You spend 15 years in the wrestling business, you’re gonna learn how to talk to people, but even when it comes to big groups, or parties, or normal social situations, I’m usually just like, “Get me out of here.” I’d rather just go sit on the couch and watch T.V. or something.”
