Dominik Mysterio is one of WWE's most despised heels today. Fans leave no stone unturned to boo The Judgment Day member when he is on TV. Meanwhile, 'Dirty' Dom recently named his pick for the greatest heel in professional wrestling.
During an appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, the former NXT North American Champion named WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels as his favorite heel of all time. Dominik praised The Heartbreak Kid's villainous on-screen persona from his prime years as a pro wrestler.
"Favorite heel of all time - Shawn Michaels. I think just the way he carried himself, the real Heartbreak Kid, the s**t he was saying back in the day, he'd get away with it." [From 52:06 to 52:24]

Michaels retired from full-time in-ring competition in 2010. He is currently the creative head of WWE NXT.
Dominik Mysterio open to an alliance with Logan Paul in WWE
At SummerSlam 2024, Logan Paul lost his United States Championship to LA Knight in Cleveland. Meanwhile, Dominik Mysterio turned his back on Rhea Ripley when he helped Liv Morgan retain her Women's World Title against The Nightmare.
While Paul is often seen on SmackDown, Dominik is part of the RAW roster. Much like The Judgment Day member, The Maverick is also one of the most hated names in WWE today.
On the same edition of IMPAULSIVE, Dominik expressed his interest in teaming up with the 29-year-old star.
"The Judgment Day, they are always going to be my family. I can't just be like my dad and just disappear. I've got to be there for them. But, no matter what, gold is gold, championships are championships. Rhea [Ripley] let me step away for a little bit to go handle my business at WrestleMania [XL] with Santos [Escobar]. So, I'm sure if we can work something out, there shouldn't be any situations if I take a little leave of absence, and go hang out with you [Paul] for a little bit," he said.
'Dirty' Dom and his new love interest, Liv Morgan, will face The Terror Twins (Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley) at WWE's Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event in Germany on August 31, 2024.
