Seth Rollins On How Long He Wants To Wrestle, Names Wrestling Mt. Rushmore

Seth Rollins says he could see himself wrestling into his late 40s like John Cena, and also named a couple Mt. Rushmores of wrestling. Rollins is currently just shy of 40 years old and has had a 22 year career. Cena retired from the ring at 48 in December, and Rollins was asked on Club Shay Shay if he could see himself going that long.

Rollins was also asked about his Wrestling Mt. Rushmore and gave two: his in-ring list and his money drawing list. You can see the highlights below:

On If He Wants To Wrestle As Long As John Cena:

“Yeah, maybe. I mean, I’m 40 in a couple months and I feel great. I’m in what I would consider the prime of my career, where the physical hasn’t declined and the mental is as sharp as it’s ever been. And so I would — as long as I can continue to contribute in a way that’s positive for our fan base and for our younger talent, as long as I can continue to make the product better, then I think I would like to contribute — and my body cooperates, I would like to continue to do it.”

On His Mt. Rushmore Of Wrestlers:

“Oh man, that’s so hard. Because you get into this trap of like, in-ring talent, guys who are just great wrestlers, and then you get into money, right? Who drew the most money. So like if you want to talk all-time draws, you got to start with Hogan, you probably got to put [Bruno] Sammartino on there, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and likely The Rock. That’s probably your top four.

“You want to go in-ring all0time, you’re looking at Shawn Michaels. You’re looking at Eddie Guerrero, you’re looking at maybe — oh man, after that it gets real hard. Because you know, Dynamite Kid was really good but he was kind of a jerk. Bret Hart was really great… and you could put Ric [Flair] in there as well. Flair was special. Dusty was special, but Dusty’s in-ring work wasn’t like — you know, he wasn’t blowing anybody out of the water. Brian Danielson would be up there. I think, I’d like to be in the conversation at some point. I think AJ Styles, who also just recently retired, is someone who’s one of the greatest of all time in the ring.”
