5 reasons that make Seth Rollins a old school booker's dream heel

Seth Rollins shocked the world and, as Michael Cole succinctly put it, made the heist of the century by cashing in his Money In The Bank contract at Wrestlemania and winning the biggest prize that WWE has to offer. What a year it has been for Rollins who kickstarted his singles career in the main roster by pulling off another shocking move and betraying his Shield brothers. He won the Money In The Bank contract, had the feud of the year with Dean Ambrose and is now one of the best heels on the main roster.Who could have thought, seeing his journey in FCW that he could become such a convincing heel.Here are 5 reasons that make Seth Rollins a old school booker's dream heel

#5 The look

When Paul Heyman went on to deliver another great promo on his second straight Raw after Wrestlemania, you believed and felt every word that was uttered from his mouth. He described Seth Rollins, with utter antipathy as ‘slimy, disgusting, little Seth Rollins’ you agreed with him and yet enjoyed the fact that Seth Rollins has evolved and adapted so well to deserve that description.

He has been two faced for the past one year. He betrayed his brothers, he betrayed Randy Orton while in the Authority and just look at his hairstyle- two colors. That third fact may be comical to magnify upon but still, how fitting is his look for being a heel?!

#4 The way he plays his role

Seth Rollins is a young wrestler. He’s not even 30 yet and being that young and knowing that he’s that good at being smart brings forth an uncanny arrogance. He underestimated Brock Lesnar, of all people. And on the next night on Raw where the episode was adjusting to the blizzard, he looked Brock Lesnar, the beast, in the eye, stood toe to toe and then just kicked out the chair on which Lesnar was supposed to sit and give an interview.

He’s smart, an opportunist. He bought into the evolution of Seth Rollins and he has been proved right, time and time again.

The sheer arrogance and nonchanlence has made him into one of the most convincing heels in a long, long time.

#3 Running away

How many times over the past one year have we seen Seth Rollins run away from his opponents? Better yet, how many times have we seen his opponent charge towards him and tracking him down to beat him up?

Dean Ambrose has done that many times, so has Randy Orton, so has Roman Reigns. And who can forget the Raw after Wrestlemania where Brock Lesnar ran in persuit of his prey!

Rollins is a marked man and he has perfected the art of running away and chasing after him to get a hold of him still remains one of the incidents that certainly gets a reaction.

#2 Wrestling skills

Seth Rollins may not be as heavily built as WWE’s protocol guys but he’s not a small guy either. He has his set of power moves which includes a running powerbomb, he is quick on his feet and he can pull of high flying moves just that easily.

That phoenix splash, over time, may just gain an iconic status, given that he’s only performed it once and he performed it during that famous triple threat match at this years Royal Rumble.

His prowess in the ring is second to none.

#1 Making his opponents look good

There is no doubt that Seth Rollins is versatile in the ring with all his manoeuvres. But there is one ability that he possesses that makes all of his matches must watch and that is his selling ability. He makes the moves of his opponents look that much more vicious and that much more effective by selling it like a champ.

Nobody sells Ambrose’s trademark rebound clothesline like Rollins, nobody’s going to forget that curb stomp that changed into a vicious RKO. Rollins went that much high in the air to fall right at that place where he connected with the RKO and despite that he sold the RKO, bouncing off the mat for the pin.
