Dominik Mysterio is one of the top heels in the industry at present, garnering an other worldly amount of heat whenever he appears on WWE television.
Speaking with Kenny McIntosh for Inside The Ropes, Dominik explained how he came to be the villain he is now, saying that he has always had this in him.
“I don’t know. I think it’s kind of just always secretly been hidden in me, that I’m kind of just this dick. Which, like with all things, it just came naturally to me, man. I don’t know what it was, but I think what really helped me was I guess when I was training with Lance and with Jay Lethal, I guess everyone thought I was just gonna be a babyface like my dad and just be a good guy all the time. So when I would do practice matches, I would want to be a heel. I wanted to be the bad guy. So I trained, most of the time, my practice matches, I was always the bad guy. So it was always fun to kind of get into that character. Once I got the opportunity, I was like, I’m not gonna blow it. RBIs is gonna be the one. I’ve always wanted to be the bad guy. Guys like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, guys like that I grew up watching, that’s how I wanted to do it,”
