Rollins will say it as plainly and frankly as he did last week: they all sucked. It was too harsh, but it was coming from a really good place. It was coming from his heart. This is not just his job. It is his life. The guys and girls in the locker room aren’t just colleagues. They are his family. Families aren’t just about blood. It’s about fighting and struggling together.
