Is the 'Progressive Liberal' the Best Heel In Wrestling?

People love to hate this guy. Wonder why?

Appalachian Mountain Wrestling has an amazing report on a new "heel" in wrestling (for the uninitiated, a "heel" is the villain or "bad guy," scripted by the wrestling promoter to be the antagonist). The newest -- and possibly best? -- heel is Dan Richards and he goes by the moniker, "The Progressive Liberal." And he's as amazing as you might imagine by the "I'm With Her" shirt he's wearing in the photo above.

Listen as he talks about how "you people" in Kentucky need to be reprogrammed:

Breitbart has more on this character that people love to hate:

Performing for an outfit called Appalachian Mountain Wrestling, the Progressive Liberal predictably makes the audience his enemy. His moves include smugness, condescension, and whining, none of which do him much good in the ring but they all do wonders for his heel persona.

“You people need to be reprogrammed,” the Progressive Liberal lectures Eastern Kentucky wrestling fans. “You continually vote against your own interests.”

He wears a “Not My President” shirt, corrects the pronunciation (“creek” and not “crick”) of Appalachians, and refers to people he dislikes as “Fox News maggots.” He informs Kentuckians that they need to reject coal in favor of clean energy. He tells them to trade in their “bullets” for his “bullet points of knowledge.”

I can't imagine a better heel for the Trump era...  or a better indication that normal Americans are sick and tired of the constant condescension that comes from Washington DC.  Of course, he's driving actual liberals nuts, but people on Twitter are enjoying his shtick.
