On the latest episode of the Killing the Town podcast, Don Callis discussed the long-standing concept of the ‘cool heel’. Callis said that the ‘cool heel’ gimmick has outlived its usefulness.
Callis went in depth on the ‘cool heel’ gimmick on the podcast:
“The cool heel is something that should probably be extinct,” said Callis. “It is never good if you are a young wrestler, and there’s a bizzillion of them out there. Please don’t be a cool heel. Cool heels are infuriating, because the babyface already has a hard job to do. In one way, being a babyface is easy, because you just have to listen, in other [ways] it’s hard because, with the exception of a select few people who are very comfortable doing that babyface thing, it is a hard thing to do. So, don’t make the babyface’s job harder by being the cool guy in the match, and now he’s just the goofy babyface.”
