Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has praised John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield as the perfect heel.
On his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker discussed some recent comments made by Drew McIntyre, who said that “bad guys” are trying to do “cool moves” or “say cool stuff,” rather than getting fans to dislike their persona.
Booker said that Layfield had no interest in looking cool to fans which made him an effective heel:
“JBL, he was the perfect heel who knew what his role was when it came to embodying the bad guy.”
Bradshaw is best remembered for his heel rich Texan character that began in 2004 and is still used to this day.
