WWE Superstar Seth Rollins and comedian Dave Chappelle do not have a long-lost connection. So then why would a wrestling veteran take a shot at Seth Rollins while comparing him to Dave Chappelle? Well, that’s because, according to this wrestler, veteran Seth Rollins slammed the definition of professional wrestling.

‘The King of Connecticut’ Matthew Granahan is a retired professional wrestler and a stand-up comedian. Granahan spoke about how professional wrestling has changed over the years. To prove his theory, the King of CT referred to Seth Rollins’ incident when a fan attacked him.

Granahan said, “A few months ago, and you see Seth Rollins gets attacked by a short little five foot five inch, 180-pound fat boy running out and tackling him. And Seth Rollins subsequently going on TMZ talking about how he was so scared, he was so frightened. Disgusting. And then they continue to push Seth Rollins. In the old days, Seth Rollins would have surely been fired.”

According to Matthew Granahan, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins shouldn’t have gone on to interviews and shared the fan attacking story as a sad story. Instead, he mentioned that The Drip King was ‘softer’ because when a fan assaulted Dave Chappelle during a live show, he did not react the way Rollins did.

Matthew Granahan also noted that Chappelle blocked the fan and made him sprawl away. Later, Dave Chappelle made fun of him on stage and went to the side of the stage and gave the fan a beating.

“That’s how it should be because anyone tries to jump someone on stage. I’ve been a stand-up comedian for years. I’d love for somebody to try and run up on stage. Because then you have carp launch to defend yourself and give that guy a beating. That’s the way it should be in professional wrestling; that’s the way it was in professional wrestling. Professional wrestling has lost its mystique,” the King of CT added.

Wrestling veteran Granahan also mentioned that one must be tough to be in the professional wrestling business. He also believes that if comedian Dave Chappelle was strong enough to protect himself from a fan assault, Rollins, being a pro wrestler, could have done the same.
