Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Dominik Mysterio and how the young star has been able to irritate fans with his heel gimmick.
Last year, Dom turned on his father and embraced the dark side. Since joining the Judgment Day, the 26-year-old star has been terrorizing his father and the rest of his family leading to a matchup at WrestleMania 39.
On the latest episode of Smack Talk, Mantell stated that Dominik was getting a stellar reaction from the crowds. He detailed that the fans in Puerto Rico were very family-oriented and Dom going against his father instantly irked the audience, resulting in deafening boos.
"In Puerto Rico, like I said, the Hispanic families are very solid. You don't mess with the family because you have a ton of trouble. It's a family feud. The people there are ripping into Dominik and he's eating it up. He doesn't have to do nothing. He's a heat magnet. He just walks out there and it comes." [From 24:00 - 24:24]
