Seth Rollins: “Johnny [Manziel] Was Born With One of Those Faces That You Just Want to Punch”

July 17, 2015

WWE Champion Seth Rollins appeared on Fox Sports’ Jimmy Traina on The Buzz podcast to explain why Rollins once referred to NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel as “Johnny Idiot Face” during an episode of WWE Raw.

The following is a quote from Rollins during his appearance on the podcast:

“He definitely did not know it was coming, and it was certainly something that was off the top of my head. Johnny was born with one of those faces that you just want to punch. You just wanna put your fist in his face. There’s nothing you can do about it. Maybe it’s the way he comes off. I don’t know. It just came to me when I saw him sitting there and saw him taking the whole thing in. And I was just like, ‘Wow.’ It just seemed right. So [I] let it rip.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
