When it comes to wrestling, bad guys get to have all of the fun. They get to insult the crowd, cheat, ignore the refs and generally play by their own rules. This week we explore the wide range of moves that the bad guys use to get the crowd to hate them. Join us as we build the Mt. Rushmore of Wrestling Heel Moves.
Check below for the show note to see videos showing many of the moves we discuss. As always, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast player, and make sure you are sharing this episode with your friends.
