Dominik Mysterio On His Heel Persona: ‘I’m Kinda Just A Dick’

Dominik Mysterio discusses how he crafted his heel persona and got into it.

Speaking with Kenny McIntosh for Inside The Ropes, Dominik was asked about developing his persona as a heel, and he noted that he was secretly always been a “dick.” He then stated that he always wanted to be a heel, and he was determined to capitalize on the opportunity when he got a chance.

“I don’t know. I think it’s kind of just secretly been hidden in me, that I’m kinda just this dick,” Mysterio said. “It, like with all things, just kind of just came naturally to me. 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 get into that character. Once I got the opportunity, I was like, I’m not gonna blow it. This is gonna be the one. Because I’ve always wanted to be the bad guy. Guys like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, guys like that that I just grew up watching. That’s how I wanted to do it.”

Dominik will face Cody Rhodes at WWE Money in the Bank. More information is available here.
