Dax Harwood on Ricky Morton
During a recent exclusive interview with WrestleZone’s own Bill Pritchard, Dax Harwood shared that Ricky Morton was the biggest babyface he had ever seen.
“Ricky, to me, is the personification of a babyface. Because he was five foot ten, a 200-pound guy. Very undersized, didn’t have a great body, but people believed in him. They believed in him because he knew when to fight back, he knew how to throw hands,” Harwood explained. “He didn’t just go do flips and and high spots and all these things. Because at the end of the day, you gotta make the people believe in you. You’ve got to make them believe that one, you can kick ass, but two, you can come back.
“He was the greatest seller. Because there were times when you couldn’t tell it was real or if he was working. He knew when to throw one right punch and then he would go back down instead of standing face to face and trading back and forth. He knew when to throw one right hand and sell right back down, and when that heel came back, he’d fire one more punch off and the people would start to believe in him.
“And so those facials, that body language, those are the things that you can get from Ricky Morton. Timing and ring presence and knowing when to stop and just sell, all you have to do is sell. That’s one thing is lost. People think they know what selling is. Wrestlers think they know what selling is and they think they’re selling in the moment. It is almost, as cliché as it is to say, it’s almost a lost art, but Ricky’s got it down pat now.”
