I'd come from the bottom of the barrel. Just Owen Hart getting out of the shadow of Bret Hart's little brother. Everyone figured, this is a joke, Owen's going to get squashed.
In wrestling, my mustache made me look more like a villain. A good mustache can give you the look of the devil.
The matches that I've been involved with as a referee, sometimes the heel likes to get up in my face a little bit and even at 65 years old, I don't put up with that crap. Most times or not, the poor guy gets chopped down a few times.
'Stone Cold' came in with a monster push as 'The Ringmaster' with Ted DiBiase. That didn't work out.
CM Punk clearly established during his time as a Paul Heyman Guy that he was, as the billing suggested, The Best In The World.
I was a huge fan of Shane Douglas and how he used the microphone during a match.
If I went out and tried to be 'Shane Douglas the Superstar' when it wasn't my time, one of the veterans would have put me back in line.
I think deep down inside, most of the bad guys want to get cheered - I don't. I want absolutely everybody in there to hate me, and that's the mentality you need to have to be a successful heel.
I think, Randy Orton, he has obviously been around a long time, but I think Randy Orton can be a terrific heel.
