Seth Rollins Says Former Rival Is ‘One Of The Greatest Wrestlers Of All Time’

WWE

WWE star Seth Rollins believes that his former rival is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

One of the more… interesting rivalries of WWE’s lockdown era saw Seth Rollins face off against Rey Mysterio.

An eventful storyline, this feud saw Mysterio ‘lose’ an eye, Dominik Mysterio make his in-ring debut, and Buddy Murphy (now AEW’s Buddy Matthews) get romantic with Aaliyah Mysterio.

Speaking on Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast, Seth Rollins argued that Rey Mysterio deserves to be on a Mt Rushmore of pro-wrestling.

When Rey Mysterio’s name came up in conversation during discussions about stem cell therapy, Rollins said:

“Yeah, and I have no reason to believe he is saying anything but the truth because he’s just unreal, he’s one of one.

“I think he turns 50 soon, and like what? What are we talking about? You watch him in the ring it’s like unbelievable, he hasn’t aged a day.

“I was talking about entering my prime, and he’s like, like I said one of one. He’s a freak dude.

“Up there, and I’ll say this, might be a hot take, but he is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

“I think people are kinda like ‘oh he wears a mask…’ there’s like, all these kind of ‘but this, but that.’ ‘He’s not like a great promo, he’s not a Rock, and Austin, a Hogan’ but like, he is, if you look at the totality of his career and the influence that he’s had over generations.

“I say one of the greatest, you could arguably include him on a Mt. Rushmore, if you wanted to.”
