The soccer world is used to debating the greatness of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. WWE legend Rey Mysterio sees those comparisons in two current-day stars.
Speaking during an appearance on The Late Run, Mysterio likened the Messi and Ronaldo debate to the debate between fans on the greatness of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
“I would have to say Seth Rollins being one of them because he’s a masterpiece at what he does,” said Mysterio on who might fit the bill of the “Messi and Ronaldo” of WWE. “He is ‘The Architect’ really. And on the other end, I would probably have to give it to Roman [Reigns]. He mastered this down really fast.
“And again, you talk about the legacy and the dynasty of where he came from. I was just talking about like current talent, cause we can go back and talk about The Rock and people that have been before, but yeah, I truly believe that especially knowing that those two guys were part of a team at one point, they kind of went their separate ways and now they’re both on top of the game.”
Of course, much like the debate between Messi and Ronaldo, the one between who is better between Reigns and Rollins will rage on for some time. Both are great in their own rights, but that won’t stop fans from trying to pit their own respective GOAT against one another.
