#3 Be Really Good At Wrestling
You know who’s good at wrestling? Possibly the BEST at wrestling? Kurt Angle. Or Cesaro. I guess Cesaro never won an Olympic Gold Medal, but Angle has never turned into M. Bison from Street Fighter in front of millions of viewers, so let us call it a wash.
I said earlier you don’t have to be an incredible wrestler to be a Heyman Guy, but it helps. And while it’s been mentioned that CM Punk has his in-ring skill detractors (that’s silly, unwarranted backlash), the same can’t be said about Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. They joined Kurt Angle in Team Angle and even earned the name “The World’s Greatest Tag Team” soon after. That’s not a disputable name. either. They were (hopefully still are) legit wrestlers.
Even Curtis Axel is hand picked by The Rock to train with him every time Dwayne returns to in-ring action. Much like big, imposing figures, ring technicians are often found to be short in supply of great promos. So they are also perfect counterparts to Paul’s sorcery of saying things.
