Christian Cage is in the midst of a top heel run with his protégé and TNT Champion Luchasaurus, and the veteran wrestler recently discussed the quintessential element of a successful heel.
Cage recently appeared on the “Swerve City Podcast” and shared his perspective on the matter.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the most important factor in being a heel: “To me, the most important aspect of being a true villain is having no redeeming qualities, you’ve got to throw those out the window. You learn those from classic heels, villains like a guy like The Iron Sheik … he was ahead of his time almost with some of his mannerisms and his delivery and his persona. He was a true villain and a trailblazer.”
On the importance of having a bit of truth in a heel’s promos: “As long as you’re delivering it and you believe what you’re saying and you believe it with every ounce of your being, for you that’s true and you’re right and you’re justified, even though it’s probably wrong. That’s how I look at it.”
