Has Seth Rollins ever given credit to or acknowledged where he got "....I am a revolutionary.."?

[Alexander The Great]

The "messiah" got it from The Black Messiah Fred Hampton.






Has he acknowledged Hampton?

 

[Norrin Radd]

Nah, probably not.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

When you think about it, none of Seth's nicknames really fit him or what he's done. Like "The Architect." When did Seth have anything to do with creating The Shield? I thought the whole thing was just three guys coming together to fight what they saw was injustice. Seth was never the leader the way Finn leads The Judgment Day. They were equals.

I don't know how to describe Seth's character other than "guy who yells in his promos and wears campy clothes all the time." I would say he's a sociopath if nothing else.

 

[EarlyEarly]

All I remember was Ambrose was the crazy guy, Reigns was the cool muscle guy, and Rollins was the guy that got pinned all the time. So they just threw a bunch of monikers on him like a micro gimmick or something I dunno.

 

[Microfracture]

I imagine if they asked him about it in an interview he'd cop to lifting it from Fred Hampton. The movie dropped around when he started the Messiah gimmick, it's a clear inspiration he should acknowledge
