Is Dominik Mysterio the best heel in WWE at the moment?

Whether he lacks the super athletic moves of his father or not, Dominik Mysterio has been able to make a name for himself, stepping away from his father’s shadow. With it, Dirty Dom has also been able to make a strong case for himself- of being the top heel in the business.

While Dominik Mysterio doesn’t have an imposing physique or a look that’ll send down shivers his opponent’s spine, he does generate a lot of heat. It is evident every week, every time he has a microphone in his hand.

One of the measurement of being a heel is getting the boos from the spectators. If that is a primary yardstick to go by, DOminik Mysterio by far is the most successful among the current lot. While Austin Theory, another popular heel, received chants of an a**h*le, remember that it was Dwayne Johnson who conducted that play.
