Christian Cage described his mindset about being a heel during an appearance on the Swerve City Podcast. Christian said a heel needs to believe what they are saying. The performer has to go all in to ensure their character doesn’t have redeeming qualities.
“I think, as a heel, when you’re delivering your message, you have to have a nugget of truth, and you embellish it, and you believe what you’re saying, and you believe it with every ounce of your being, for you, that’s true, and you’re right, and you’re justified, even though it’s probably wrong. That’s how I look at it,” Christian Cage said. “When it comes to my character, especially these days, the turtleneck guy, zero redeemable qualities, but he can go out and say and do things that Jay Reso would never go say and do.
“In that respect, you have to have full commitment to it for it to really work. You have to be okay with being hated for it to really work,” he added. “You can’t be on the fence like, ‘Ah, these few people are booing me and it kind of bothered me.’ No, you have to be all in. You have to make sure everybody hates you.”
