“Rock Had a Pretty Short Run” – Seth Rollins Picks Stone Cold Over the Rock in His WWE Mount Rushmore

Published 04/07/2021, 8:00 AM EDT

Seth Rollins is a man of opinions. In fact, he has never backed away from voicing his opinions and his choices during interviews. Recently, Rollins appeared on The Complex Sports Podcast, where he revealed his picks for the WWE Mount Rushmore.

He picked John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, and Bruno Sammartino. However, he was slightly confused between Stone Cold and The Rock, but ultimately picked the former.

He explained that ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ has had a bigger impact in WWE than ‘The Brahma Bull’. Apart from impact, Stone Cold had a longer run than The Rock. Keeping these two factors in mind, he picked ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’.

“Rock’s a fair argument, but I would argue that Steve’s impact on the WWE is bigger than Rock’s, especially during his time here because Rock had a pretty short run. He was really on top for not very long, and then he jettisoned out and now he’s the biggest movie star in the business.”

Moreover, Rollins is of the opinion that while both veteran Superstars were big names during the Attitude Era, it was Stone Cold who led the industry and company forward during that time.

“Rock was a big part of the Attitude Era in the back end of it, but wasn’t necessarily the catalyst for it like Steve was. Steve was the catalyst for business being as good as it was, and he was the guy that was selling out the arenas and the t-shirts with the Austin 3:16 and all that. So yeah, that’s a tough one.”
