Angel on How You Have to Change Your Style in WWE, Wrestling Lacking Genuine Heels

– WrestlingInc.com’s Nick Hausman spoke to WWE Superstar Angel of Los Lotharios at WrestleMania 38 media row. Below are some highlights from WrestlingInc.com:

Angel on WWE being a different world: “I think WWE is a different world. When you come to WWE, you’ve got to change your style, you’ve got to change everything. You’ve got to know how to talk in a microphone, you’ve got to know how to perform in front of cameras. You became a superstar. It’s like a weird word to use, ‘oh we are superstars,’ but we really are.”

On wrestling on the indie scene: “When we were in the indie world, we were doing matches 25, 30, 45 minutes. Always killing ourselves. Then wake up the next morning and go and do another 35 minutes match. I think right now we are becoming those superstars we dreamed of. If you put on the table and compare both worlds, it is hard. I am trying to teach those guys, ‘hey, you’ve just got to calm down.’ You can be a superstar, just using this, how can I call it? Platform, we can use the platform. In a good way, and protect your character, and that’s it.”

On wrestling not having genuine heels anymore: “Right now, we don’t have those heels they were before. We want to have those heels having the shiny moment, ‘hey, just clap for me please.’ Hey, if you’re a heel, stay focused on the heel, you don’t need to kind of, ‘hey can you throw some money to the ring so I can feel great. I did a good match.’ No, just do your thing, grab your stuff, go to your locker room and then go to your hotel, and don’t worry about anything else. If you keep doing that thing, that’s professional wrestling.”
