Seth Rollins on CM Punk's UFC debut, Brock Lesnar's contract, Sting, more 

11:50 cm punk question

I like how chilled Rollins was about Punk, like he respected they guy and didnt give a shit in there was backstage backlash.

Regardless of how much the WWE wants you to hate his character, hes talented as fuck.

My favorite superstar at the moment!

he handled this interview like a pro. He answered all the questions properly without being disrespectful or saying the wrong thing. Can see why he's being pushed as hard as he is

Best heel in the business right now. The sky's the limit for Rollins.

Rollins is literally the best guy in the WWE. He reminds me a lot of Punk and Punk was my favorite before he left. He could be a great heel but WWE isn't doing it right.

an actual mainstream media reporter that actually knew what he was talking about when it came to wrestling, asked decent questions far from the norm with normal media outlets.

*Seth Rollins talks with Chris Van Vliet about CM Punk signing with the UFC* 11:45: "Punk is a goal oriented kind of guy and he's very driven, very focused, very passionate about what he puts his mind to and if he's in love with something he'll go after it 100%. He's never had any experience from what I understand in an Octagon, I know that's not going to sit too pretty with too many of the UFC fighters who have really worked their butts off to earn those contracts but Punk is a draw and he will prove that I promise you that when he fights people will pay to see it. As far as how well he's going to fair, I can't make any predictions. I'm not one to doubt the guy, he may pull through but he also may end in some sort of chokehold that he regrets. Either way I'm going to pay to see it and I think that's the whole point."

I remembered this interview can't believe it was almost 5 yrs ago.

Would love to see him vs Shawn michaels that would be great.

He's sooooo cool just like I imagined him to be! It's really great to see him as the WWE champion he's a great wrestler and all around performer...

I like the guy and am very surprised they protected him this much. It helps when HHH likes you, I can see him and Reigns being Future Top Guys But It's Dean I'm Worried about.

He looked so freaking tired . Come on WWE . Get him a time off .

Seth fucking called it 12:35 he called it. cm punk tapped out to a choke hold

Rollins is the best superstar today

This is probably the only good talk show host ever. He knows what he's talking about, he's a clear fan, and he stays focused on the interview and questions

I'd wanna say that Seth Rollins is the next (and new and improved) CM Punk, but he isn't. He's not the next anyone, he is the FIRST Seth Rollins, and I am standing by that statement fully. Excellent face and heel, great mic skills, PHENOMENAL technical wrestler and performer, and he's entertaining as hell. So excited to know that, as a fan, I'll have someone as dedicated & awesome as Seth Rollins for years to come.

CM Punk is the reason why Seth Rollins is even a thing

What a smart guy. Everybody talks about ambition but I think he is the only one who not only talks about it he actually is doing everything to get better and bigger. And to me he is better every week.

After hearing Seth talk about Sting, I wonder if he realizes he would be the one to retire Sting just under a year later?

Rollins seems like a very cool guy, good interview.

Seth vs Shawn at Wrestlemania would be literally the best thing ever

if you look closely at rollins you can see goldberg.

11:45 Punk Talk

inspiration. when i look at rollins i see passion. he is a legend. he never fails to make me proud.

Great interview. Great questions. So good to hear Seth speak his mind about Vince's comments. xoxo The Clarences (robert, eric & leslie)

Beyond happy for the guy coming a long way.

Now this is a real wrestler right here. That's the mentality that Punk lacked and honestly there is no one better to take that spot that punk left vacant.

Great interview, nice to see how intelligent and calm Seth can be when he's not shouting on the mic.

I love Seth Rollins he really has developed so much since his early days, I didnt 'get him' in NxT but since coming into the main roster he has just developed into a complete wrestler. I think he is very respectful man and I want too see him as champ , he has an x factor that could be very exciting.

Jeff Hardy + CM Punk = Seth Rollins

I love the attitude of Seth Rollins. He's content to say "It's neither here nor there" to certain topics that someone such as CM Punk would openly rant about (Brock Lesnar, Long Term Booking etc). Yet, on the Vince question, Rollins still has the courtesy to say that he understands Vince's approach- just he doesn't agree with it. Clever but still honest!

This man speaks very well, I like his voice specialy

Seth Rollins is the guy, good with the media, a likeable guy, not a dick. And am I crazy to say Seth Rollins is one of the BEST EVER in the ring? Anyone else with me on this?

Seth Rollins seems like a really nice guy. Funny how bad guys seem that way in real life

Damn, did Seth just wake up or something? Hair all fucked up

YAY Seth Rollins, a fellow from my hometown! watched him grow here in Iowa.

What a great interview from the Best in The World!!

I don't wanna see those NXT Guys on raw and smackdown they will ruin them

Well spoken. Knows what he's talking about... Unlike someone else we know

that was a great interview

My respect is through the roof for this guy since watching royal rumble, mad respect.

awesome interview! much respect.. i hope Rollins gets the well deserved victory at TLC over Yawn Cena!!!

pretty solid dude definitely has his head above the ground

Very level- headed and respectful young man. Great attitude and no self-entitlement attitude, very refreshing to an Old School wrestling fan!

I was already taking a liking to the guy... but he earned my respect with this interview. Officially a Seth Rollins fan.

Holy shit poor Seth looks destroyed here.

When he's not in character he seems like a pretty cool guy.

damn if only he knew he will win vs sting in his last match in this interview :D it was mindblowing

Loved his honesty in this interview

I love Seth's hair

Rollins is the REAL future of WWE!

He is going to be an awesome wwe champion one day.

I love this interviewer. He's a confident, good looking guy, who knows his stuff, very smooth. Reminds me of an old buddy of mine who I've always held in high regard.

Anyone else feel that they are trying to bury Punk's record by having Seth Rollins beat it?

wow, this guy if handled well could be the next punk, not that they handled punk well, punk was just too awesome for even the wwe to screw up. He seems to be very sensible, not your typical pro wrestler. And when he talks you pay attention.

Talk about being humble, what a nice guy, makes me root for him all the more.

He really seems like a kinda guy who's down to earth, very laid back and chill, I'd seriously like to meet him in person bc he seems really cool. Even when he's Seth Rollins (character) he's my favorite heel and wrestler and honestly ready for that face turn

Am i the only one who like tyler breeze and cj parker? i mean , the have a lot of talent and potencial

I will not watch wwe ever again if Seth Rollins doesn't win the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

Seth is a legend in the making! This interview makes me like him even more!

nice to hear a positive viewpoint-rare.

Cm punk is the best in the world No one can stop him

Seth Rollins is the technical wrestler we all want, whereas Punk was sloppy as hell in the ring and just rambled on the mic, Seth Rollins is good in the ring, on the mic AND has a some muscles on him. CM Punk sucks, Seth Rollins is a legend.

Great interview

love these WWE vids! keep it up chris

4:50 Finn Balor never got to work with Rollins . Well we will finally see that at SummerSlam Aug 21 2016

Rollins looks Tired As Fuck

Great interview!

I can't believe it Seth Rollins he's so nice

Replace Michael Cole with this guy now!

Seth Rollins seems like a really legit and modest guy tbh not up himself like some other Wrestlers haha

awesome interview

He sounds pretty calm than other people in interviews... feels good.

The only reason I don't like Seth is because of J&J Security, it makes him look weak and incapable of fighting for himself which he has proven he can do just fine. And again J&J Security has nothing to do with Seth himself. I really want Seth to cash in at WrestleMania, he deserves it

Seth is such a great guy... It's a shame wwe is heeling him 😒

I am not a Seth Rollins fan, but after seeing this interview I can totally understand why he's vying for a top spot. This man is articulate and can handle himself when in a random situation. I respect him a lot after this, and although I don't see myself being a fan, I can see why he garners the respect he does.

very humble dude.

Is it a coincidence that Tyler Black disagreed with Vince about wrestlers not reaching for the brass ring and then he loses to Cena the next raw? I'm not saying … but I'm saying

You can tell Seth was dying to say something negative about Brock being the champ but not being there every week. in WWE today saying something against the product isnt a good idea..see Cesaro's current situation

I like it when guys credits other wrestler s for learning a move. Shows that they have respect for the business.

Great guy, good interview.

Seth Rollins has Potential to do great things, But i just don't like his roll in the WWE. He should be by himself, and prove himself in the ring insted of having other guys cheat for him in his matches. It makes him look bad

He needs some sleep.

So humble

I live in Willoughby and Seth Rollins is my favorite wrestler through every single wrestling company. I would love to meet him!

I haven't watched WWE since Rollins got injured

I like the way that Seth Rollins is really chill in real life but is so selfish and talks about himself on the WWE shows.

great interview

well said Rollins..one of my favorite guys these days

This is why Seth is my favorite wrestler. I followed him as Tyler Black in ROH and I was so pumped when he signed to WWE. The man is the true best in the world. Hopefully he has the career he hopes for.

so happy he got this push

His mic skills are awesome not just in WWE but here also.Such a mature and talented guy not to mention his wrestling skills.He is going way up in the industry for sure.Probably my favourite on current roster or atleast on of them including ziggler, ambrose and bryan.

Seth and The Shield members are gona dominate the main event scene for the next couple years and its gonna be special. Its similar to the Cena-Orton-Brock era that we're finishing up but it can be even better with all these other talents on the comeup.

I'm so glad he mentioned CJ Parker! He's so talented! If they gave him a good 20-30 minute match with Tyler Breeze I think he would be an instant favorite.

man, now that guy is one awesome dude

Great Interview

Seth was so talented guy.....😘😘

A good, down-to-earth guy who will probably be around for quite a while. Tremendous worker in the ring too!
