Heels are famous in wrestling for being the most significant part of any storyline. While babyfaces are portrayed as on-screen superheroes, heels have to play the villain without tripping the line between kayfabe and reality. While there may be a lot of heels in wrestling today, across different promotions, few have amassed as much hate as Dominik Mysterio.

Being part of The Judgement Day, Mysterio is not only one of the most hated superstars in WWE right now, but arguably the entire wrestling industry. After his match at WrestleMania with his father, Rey Mysterio, the young star was booed to the extent that he could not speak while standing in the middle of the ring. His work as a heel is commendable but a recent comparison with AEW’s MJF didn’t sit well with the fans.

Twitter compares the heel persona of MJF and Dominik Mysterio

NoDQ.com asked their audience on Twitter if they think Mysterio has surpassed MJF as a heel character. This was after the outpouring of hate that Mysterio received on the past Monday Night Raw. While there is no one in WWE who gets as much hate, AEW is an entirely different beast.

MJF has been the de-facto image of a heel character in AEW since the birth of the promotion. He has feuded with every babyface in the company and his actions make the crowd boo him no matter what.

From his mic segments to cheating in his matches, MJF took the heel character to another sphere. More than that, the one thing that stands out about him is that he never leaves his heel character, even backstage or at meets and greets, as well as on social media.

Whereas, Mysterio has a total of two to three years of experience in the ring. He debuted at SummerSlam 2020 against Seth Rollins without any background experience in wrestling.

He has matured over the years and his work with The Judgement Day has turned him into a solid heel, but he may have more work to do before he gets to the level of Friedman.

Fans display anger over this blatant comparison

This comparison didn’t go unnoticed by the wrestling Twitter community. Through this tweet, many fans displayed their disagreement with the comparison while some called it unfair. Here are some of them of their reactions.

This fan is clearly pointing out all the areas that Mysterio might improve in the future.

This fan thinks that fans hate Mysterio, not for his character but for the position the management places him in.

Mysterio is fairly new, while MJF has already achieved world champion status.

It will be exciting to see if Mysterio can get the audience to hate him after his father has retired from wrestling.
