"We gotta put this out there" - Wrestling veteran makes a shocking revelation about Dominik Mysterio's current gimmick (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently made the shocking claim that Dominik Mysterio does not have heel heat.
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio earned the ire of wrestling fans when he turned his back on his father, Rey Mysterio, and sided with The Judgment Day. The young star embraced his dark side and started talking trash about anyone who crossed him. In fact, he made life so much difficult for his dad that the masked luchador considered retiring before Triple H drafted him to SmackDown.
On a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo stated that Dirty Dom was getting booed because the fans have become programmed to do so at WWE shows. He felt that whenever fans saw Dominik, they just knew they need to boo him, and the reactions have nothing to do with his character.
"We gotta get this straight. We gotta put this out there. Dominik does not have heat, okay? He has no heat bro. Here's what you're seeing. Them booing Dominik is their equivalent of signing along with Seth or singing along with Cody. It's their 'Oh this is part of the show guys. Hey bro, put the beer down. When Dominik puts the mic up, we all gotta boo.' He doesn't have heat bro. He's got no heat. That's a part of the show." [18:45 - 19:20]
