In the above interview, Seth Rollins talks about his experiences in backyard wrestling in vivid detail.

Surprisingly, I very seldom got injured at backyard wrestling. I did some really dumb stuff when I was a kid. Nothing like too crazy, like barbed wire or light tube, or anything crazy like that.
