Bully Ray&#8217;s late year work in Impact Wrestling was stellar and was enough to land him in third place by a single vote. Is Sami Zayn a heel? Technically, yes, though I suspect he would have generated more votes had I put him in the babyface category. Good for Dominik Mysterio, who stepped out from his father&#8217;s large shadow by emerging as a really fun heel act.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2586212816\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":108198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4781,1426,2],"tags":[2486,2321,86,630,210,3595,37,128,63,101],"class_list":["post-124476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2022-awards","category-awards","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-gcw","tag-impact-wrestling","tag-mlw","tag-njpw","tag-njpw-strong","tag-nxt","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-roh","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
