Former WWE Champion hits back at critics of Seth Rollins' current gimmick

Seth Rollins is the current World Heavyweight Champion and a widely popular figure among fans. However, some have looked to lambast his outlandish WWE persona. Mick Foley recently addressed the criticism surrounding Rollins' gimmick.

From walking to the ring in an odd manner to wearing over-the-top outfits, The Visionary's current character certainly grabs the attention of several viewers.

Mick Foley recently praised Rollins' character work on his Foley Is Pod show. The former WWE Champion also addressed those who hailed The Visionary's character as an embarrassment.

"I remember there were people thinking it was the most embarrassing thing in wrestling, you know, this Seth Rollins thing, and I was like, he's onto something, and he's sinking his teeth into it. And it was just so much fun to see him evolve and just take to it." (H/T Wrestling News)

Rollins further solidified his position at the top of the card during this week's RAW. In a stellar bout, he retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest of The Judgment Day.
