Kevin Sullivan portrayed a heel character for the majority of his in-ring career, and he recently explained why it’s harder to generate heat as a heel in the current era of wrestling.
Sullivan addressed the topic on his “Tuesday with the Taskmaster” podcast, and you can check out some highlights below:
On heels struggling to get heat in the modern era: “We have social media and maybe you don’t say ‘We loved working with him last week or two weeks ago and can’t wait for the rematch.’ Maybe we can use this in a different way.”
On MJF’s heel persona: “It is like when I see MJF on the Van Vliet program or any other interviews he does, he stays in character. But people still love him, so I don’t know if you can still get heat.”
