Seth Rollins has exceptional taste in selecting pro-wrestlers for specific categories. Therefore, when he appeared on The Complex Sports Podcast, Rollins revealed his method of selecting pro-wrestlers.

Seth Rollins revealed that Shawn Michaels is his favorite wrestler. However, he wouldn’t pick HBK for his WWE Mount Rushmore over Hulk Hogan because of the attributes.

He picked Hogan for Mount Rushmore based on the contributions and not the type of human being he is. If he considered every factor, Michaels would definitely be on the list.

“Shawn’s my favorite wrestler of all time, but we’re talking about contributions to WWE and what they’ve meant to the business, and look, if it were up to me, in that situation, I would scratch Hogan off that sucker, probably.”

“But again, if we’re just talking not the kind of human being you are but we’re talking about your contributions as a wrestler to the company, okay, Hogan was responsible for everything that happened after, after the late ’80s.”

“Look, Hulk’s always been really nice to me, but that doesn’t make him a great human being.”

Undoubtedly, both Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan are huge names in the industry. They’ve both contributed in their own ways to WWE and have gathered a massive fan following during their in-ring careers.
