Seth Rollins says it’s hard to be a heel, and I say, bullshit. If you know exactly how to do it, and your training in wrestling school in part showed you how to be a heel, then you CAN be a good heel. I see great heels all the time with the amount of wrestling I watch as I post on this site. So Seth Rollins is full of shit. You want examples of great heels? I’ll list a couple right here before I post the link to the video about this subject.
Darius Carter, who has been wrestling all over Northeast indies for years has incredible heel skills, both on the mic as well as in the ring.
Richard Holliday is another with, same as Darius Carter, great heel skills and Holliday has wrestled all over the place.
Lucky P. Larson who’s a manager that worked quite a few different indie companies and can currently be seen on the Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling (SICW) shows I post every Sunday night.
Lastly, the late Steve Bradley, who I personally saw (thanks to working behind the scenes for a couple indie companies in New England back in 97-99) go from being a fan favorite on New England indies, to when he got a WWF developmental deal and went to Memphis, he was managed by Jim Cornette and became a full fledged heel. Now Bradley learned from the late Sylvano Sousa as well as the late Walter ‘Killer’ Kowalski (the same learning trees I sat under), if you’re trained by Sousa, Kowalski and have Cornette showing you stuff, and you can’t earn how to be a great heel from all of them? You have a learning problem. Bradley after his WWF deal ended came back to New England indies as ‘Mofo’ Steve Bradley, a straight up heel and was great at it.
Hell, Gunther/Walter has been a heel most of his career, even before he got to the WWE as I followed his career in the UK, listen to the fans reactions to him, and he doesn’t even have to try that hard. Seth might want to actually start watching the company he works for, especially when Gunther’s on.
So for Seth Rollins to say it’s hard to be a heel is absolute bullshit. You waana learn how to be a great heel? Go to YouTube and watch promos and matches from Dick Slater, Ole Anderson, Bruiser Brody, Jake Roberts, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, I can name many others. The learning is there if you want to take the time to actually learn, let that sink in.
Here’s the info/description of the video on this topic.
WWE RAW superstar Seth Rollins claimed in an interview that it is more difficult to be a heel in pro wrestling today due to the fans. Al Snow and Jeff Lane discuss it.

You make some real good points, and Al said some too. How invested in it are you, if a wrestler is totally invested into the character he can be a great heel. Doesn't Seth run a wrestling school? Is this what he teaches his students? That's hard to be a heel?
Apparently it's hard for HIM, And I hope his students aren't paying to hear something like that.
