There are many wrestlers all over the world, but only one can say that he has won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin’ neck! That is of course none other than WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. Recently the Olympic Gold Medalist shared his experience in playing a heel character.
While speaking to Great Offshore Sportsbooks, Kurt Angle shared the reason why he feels it is much easier to playing a heel character rather than a babyface.
“I like being a heel because you didn’t have to be accepted by the fans. You had to get the fans to hate, hate you. And it wasn’t that hard. So it was just easier for me, if I were to start out as a baby face, it wouldn’t have worked. I’ll give you a couple of examples when The Rock was a baby face at first, the fans were chanting, ‘die, rocky, die.’ He wasn’t a baby face.
“Roman Reigns, when they first started him, they used him as a baby face, but he wasn’t ready yet. And fans crapped on him too, for a little bit, but he eventually proved himself and he became a world champion for four years. And now he’s one of the top wrestlers in the world. He actually is doing an incredible job right now. So starting out as a baby face is a really difficult thing to do, even as an Olympic gold medalist myself. So it’s a lot easier to be a heel and the fans will accept you a lot quicker as a human,” Kurt Angle said.
Kurt Angle on The New Day’s run as a heel
Recently The New Day turned heel. WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle shared his thoughts on the New Day. Angle mentioned that the faction is doing a great job. He’s also convinced that the fans will eventually accept Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as heels.
“Well, I think they’re going to do really well. I mean those guys had an incredible run. I mean, it had to be what, maybe 12 years. So their faction was highly successful and it was entertaining. It was fun. I think this heel run is going to do a lot for all of them. Especially the two heels. So I think the fans are going to accept them as heels. They won’t for a little bit, but eventually they will. This will bring on even bigger and better stories for them.”
Do you think it is easy to be a heel?
