I'm Daniel Jeremiah. And I am Greg Rosenthal. I know that, Greg. We're teaming up on 40s and free agents, the podcast that owns the NFL offseason.
This is where teams are built. Free agency, combine, pro days, trades.
What inspired Seth Rollins to pursue professional wrestling?
Every move matters. From my draft boards and mock drafts. To my vaunted top 101 free agents and how rosters come together. Quarterback movement. Surprise signings.
We'll tell you what it means and who really wins. Open your free iHeartRadio app, search 40s and free agents, and listen now.
Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. With all these matches, you know, you have ladder matches, table, chairs, all that. I mean, I understand there's a certain choreography to it.
Mm-hmm.
But still, that stuff hurt. Very much.
What challenges did Seth face on the independent wrestling circuit?
Charlotte Flair, we had Charlotte Flair on earlier in September. And she was talking about that she tore an ACL and she still finished. She had to wrestle another 30, 45 minutes.
Yeah, I mean, that's probably an exaggeration on her behalf. But she did tear an ACL and have to finish her match, yeah.
But when you hurt something or you tear an abductor or you pull a hamstring or something like that, in the match of schedule, you know, one fall for a 15-minute time limit. You know, it used to say that. I don't know how much the time limits are now. But in a situation like that, when you know something is going on and you have to finish the match, that's got to be difficult, though.
Yeah, I think it's one of those things where... Gosh, you know, I'm trying to kind of like liken it to a football injury, but, you know, there's plays.
How did The Shield's formation impact Seth Rollins' career?
No, you get injured, you coming out the field.
Yeah, yeah. There ain't no finish in the game.
It could be the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, two minutes left.
I'm out of here. Yeah, there's a play and you're gone. Yeah, it's done. It stops. That's the thing is with us, when we get hurt, like there's like a self-evaluation process that happens. And because like, you know, I mean, NFL plays about seven seconds or something like that.
Boom.
You know, you know, it's like, oh, that's it. Now I'm evaluating. I'm going to go to the sideline and evaluate. But we have to evaluate kind of in real time. Like we have to. It's not a sprint like that. It's a bit longer. So like if something happens, you know, my shoulder is a great example of that. So I'm wrestling Cody Rhodes in the main event of a pay-per-view in Perth, Australia in October.
What lessons has Seth learned from wrestling injuries?
I do this move that I've never really done where I dive from one side of the ring to the other and give Cody a headbutt. And I land funky. So I land like on my elbow, kind of off to the side, pushes my shoulder up. And it hurt. But I didn't know how bad it was hurt in the moment. So... I hit him, I cover, he kicks out, I'm laying there, and then I just run my self-check while the audience is kind of, they're going through the replays and everything, we're moving on to the next thing, but you gotta give the audience time to digest. So you're just sitting there in the process and I go, okay, I hurt my shoulder. How bad did I hurt my shoulder? Is there anything left in the match that I can't do or that's going to be dangerous for me or dangerous for my opponent or that I'm going to make look bad?
Like, do I cut stuff out and we just go, let's get to the end of the match? What's the process here? And when it's like a kind of a. a ligament-type injury like that, again, I didn't know what was wrong with it. I was like, okay, here's the things I can do. I've probably got about 10 to 15 more minutes of this match.
