At WWE Night of Champions 2015, Sting was defeated by Seth Rollins and experienced a legitimate neck injury after a turnbuckle powerbomb. Over the years, Sting has stated that he does not blame Rollins for his injury, describing the incident as a “freak accident.”
Nick Dinsmore was not a fan of Seth’s buckle bomb that injured Sting and almost ended his career at the time. Speaking with The Wrestling Chatter, Dinsmore called out the moment as one that should have never happened in the first place.
While Dinsmore didn’t mention Rollins specifically, his statements are clear enough to understand who he was referencing to.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On guys he’s trained that were able to overcome initial struggles with wrestling: “There’s been a few guys that have been less than athletes, but learned how to be performers. I mean, I don’t want to name them because, you know. If you’re rotten, you’re rotten but if you’re having a good time? It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to be WWE Champion and you don’t have it, you know, you might not have it. But if your goal is to try pro wrestling, you just want to have a match, you want to be involved. Anybody should be able to do that.
“And I’m one that I want to accentuate your strengths, we’re gonna hide your weaknesses. So whatever it is that you do best, we’re gonna do that and we’re gonna oversell it.”
On Sting’s Night of Champions 2015 injury: “When you wrestle Sting — when you wrestle Sting, you don’t powerbomb him in the corner. 55 year-old man, that don’t need to be — all the people want to see is the Scorpion Deathlock. Why are you powerbombing a 55 year-old man in a corner? Not naming any names here, but you know what I mean?”
