That... doesn't sound better. Like in the slightest.

"I'm gonna say my co-worker and possible friend of my fiancee is awful at her job because I'm mad she made fun of my tweet" is absolutely 100% worse than just being a bad babyface.

It's also 100% more realistic.

More realistic as in, you legitimately believe he thinks Sasha Banks is a bad worker?

Rollins would be a great character if he was presented as a heel who deluded himself into thinking he's the face of the company.

Read his tweets as a heel character and it's much better.

No, I legitimately think that it plays more like someone getting a little hot under the collar due to his past Tweeting history. He seems to have a very thin skin, and I think that plays into his supposed "in-character" tweets, so much so that you can't really separate things. His character has worked itself into a shoot, which is the worst part of social media and wrestling coming together.

Rollins has displayed thin-skin when it comes to comparing his wrestling ability to others. More importantly others that don't work in the same company as him.

That's radically different than being so upset about someone mocking your tweet format you feel the need to insult their ability as a professional.

It absolutely is a work. It was probably a work from the very beginning, don't be surprised if Sasha actually texted Seth saying she was gonna make fun of the tweet. God knows Charlotte and Becky were probably sharing tweet ideas during their feud.

What I'm trying I guess very poorly to say that the perception of it is easier to read as an angry nerd who has become overly sensitive on Twitter instead of a babyface, and at this point whether it's a work or not is immaterial. We live in a post-truth world.

And I guess what I think makes the most sense is assume work and wait for evidence to provide contrary. Hell, even Matt Riddle constantly clowning on Goldberg is more work than shoot, and that stupid 5 second video of Goldberg and Ziggler having an "altercation" is just another example.

The problem would be Rollins likely wouldn't be in the position he's in if he was that difficult to work with, mostly because this ain't mid-90's Shawn Michaels. It's why Roman Reigns had such an infinite push, you can't find a single person who says anything bad about him. And his "foot-in-mouth" stuff during his initial push wasn't even that significant in the long run.

Like maybe Rollins is a whiner (probably), but he's not THAT much of a whiner.

The difference between Shawn Michaels and Seth Rollins is that Seth has this Twitter outlet where his personality is dramatically altered by the separation and isolation of a screen to those who receive his message. Shawn Michaels probably would have been an absolute Austin Aries-tier terror on Twitter.

Also we're literally several posts into discussing whether or not Rollins post was a work or shoot and that's literally what they want.

We might be engaging it on a random dead video game message board for contests, but there's hundreds if not thousands of people having this very discussion on Twitter right now.

Is Seth Rollins a whiny nerdrager in character or for real doesn't seem like something you'd want to be a discussion point for your top babyface

Vince absolutely lives on "any reaction is a good reaction."

If we had given Reigns silence, his push would have died.

They'd rather us discussing whether or not Rollins is a whiny douche than ignoring Rollins completely. They don't care if their "Twitter engagement" was literally a million people posting "#imwithAEW" because they will run to their investors going "we're getting 1 million social media engagements for our tweets!"

Seth Rollins comes across like a piss baby loser not only on social media but interviews too, like after Dean Ambrose left the company.

Any attempt to defend him or go "But what if he's just playing a character" is completely lost to me and the way he acts never does him any favors, real or not.

Theres a bit of cognitive dissonance too.

Like Rey is kind of a jobber to the stars at this point who sometimes just gets squashed even. And heres the CHAMPION OF THE UNIVERSE being like Yowie wowie! I will have to empty the tank for this legend!

isn't this exactly why it's good to remind people that rey is actually the biggest legend they have on the roster today?

The cognitive dissonance only becomes noticeable because of Seth's clear agenda, at least from my perspective.

I mean if Seth made it way more short and was just like "I've always wanted to have a match with the legendary @WWEReyMysterio619 we're gonna burn it down out there next week" I don't think it'd be as dumb. But it's like he just went so elaborate it doesn't seem like genuine excitement and it's worth making fun of.

I haven't read much of his takes.

I did enjoy watching those Al Snow videos of him training. It's still very much of the carny mindset but it makes a lot of sense.
