• Top WWE Wrestler Wishes He Was A “Larger Than Life” Superstar
During a recent interview with Pat McAfee, former WWE Champion Seth Rollins talked about not being a Heavyweight (220+ lbs) wrestler.
Rollins put himself in the category of legends like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels (who, despite being legitimate Heavyweight wrestlers in their prime, were often outsized by their opponents), but wishes he was “Larger Than Life”.
Below is what he said:
“For me, my thing is my wrestling and I knew I was always an undersized guy. I’m 6’1, I’m a little over 200 pounds.
Like, I’m not — I’m Shawn Michaels, I’m Bret Hart, I’m in that category of guys. I’m not these guys, I’m not these larger than life dudes who can just cut a promo and throw some punches. I wish I was.
If I was Shanky, this would be great. I would stand there, I would flare my lats, and I would chop somebody in the head.”
