During a discussion on the current top heel in professional wrestling, WWE veteran Tommy Dreamer mentioned Dominik Mysterio as one of the figures in the wrestling industry today.

Dreamer's comments came in the wake of Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita's shocking attack on The Elite in anarchy at Double or Nothing. Callis received loud boos from the crowd during his promo.

During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer praised the ability of certain individuals to generate heat, which is a challenging task in the year 2023.

"That's because people are getting to know [Don Callis'] real-life personality, and if you listen to that sound bite and great job, that's what you call heat. And he did it, got it, deserves it, and we'll get more. There's a saying in the industry where let's focus on getting one person over, and then we'll worry about others. AEW has, if you listen to that promo, and I'm just saying, listen to it, and I'm talking about the crowd response. You have somebody who's over already, Kenny Omega, because the people care about somebody who's not even there. You have between Don and Christian two people who have a lot of heat, and heat in 2023 is hard to get," Dreamer said. [32:20 - 33:04]

Furthermore, he specifically mentioned WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio, along with Don Callis, Christian as the top individuals who excel at garnering heat.

"So you have three people actually because you're talking about Kenny Omega, right then and there, that is at, and honestly wanting, the 2023 heat factor. I would say Dominik Mysterio, Christian, Don Callis, and Bully would be the top four people who know how to garner heat in the industry right now. Got people just really don't like, which is great."

Dominik Mysterio has surprised the wrestling community by embracing his dark side and joining The Judgment Day stable. This decision has sparked significant animosity from the audience.
