WWE News and Rumors: Seth Rollins Calls Out Bret Hart About his Comments
WWE star Seth Rolling is known as someone who does not hold back within the ring or outside of it, if he feels that he needs to hit back and recently he decided to respond to WWE legend Bret 'The Hitman' Hart's comments about him. In November last year, Bret Hard has spoken about Seth Rollins' actions in a fight against John Cena in an interview with Sports Illustrated. He said, "Shawn was always really safe. He was always a really safe worker, but I don't know about Seth Rollins. That knee in the face that he gave to John Cena was unprofessional, at best. It's really strange that a guy like Rollins, who I have a lot of respect for, would be that reckless with that knee in the face. If someone kneed me in the face like that, I would have met him in the back dressing room with a baseball bat. There's just no excuse for it."
"You can't hurt somebody like that under any circumstances. It's totally reckless. It can't happen. The other thing is, when you're the champion, you have a responsibility to not get hurt. You have to be spot on. I love that Rollins kept going on and finished the match, and that shows a lot of courage. Nobody can hurt you and you can't hurt yourself. It's not allowed. I was champion, off and on, for quite a few years, and I never missed one title match from an injury. I got hurt lots of times, but the reality is you've got so much pinned on you and so much tied onto you, the company and your peers can't afford for you to get hurt. When you do get injured, it throws a wrench into everything. I do feel bad-Seth Rollins is a young guy and he's obviously very talented, and I hope he comes back from his surgery and learns from all these things. I hope they give him another chance and his opportunity has not been squandered from an injury, regardless of whose fault it was."
Rollins responded to those comments in Chris Jericho's podcast and did not take kindly to those comments. He said that those comments were unprofessional and reckless, considering Bret Hart's stature and also said that he felt sorry for the injuries sustained by Cena. He added, "Bret was put out of wrestling by a superkick from Goldberg. That'd be like saying, 'Hey Bret you shouldn't have gotten that concussion.'"
