Since Chris Sabin seems to be TNA's pet project as a wrestler who might actually become a true heel who's not cheered, I think one thing TNA should do is take something Kurt Angle said and use it.
As everyone knows, Kurt Angle made a joke that Chris Sabin looked like Pigpen from The Peanuts. I remember in Raven's shoots, he would talk about Roddy Piper giving him the nickname Snotty the Body for picking his nose on camera. Raven thought it was embarassing, but it got him instant heat with the audience. So why not have Christopher Daniels make fun of Chris Sabin by calling him Pigpen, and getting the crowd to chant Pigpen during his matches.
Normally, the TNA crowd will have dueling chants, but if they take out Let's Go Sabin and put in Let's Go Pigpen, it will only piss Sabin off more, and he'll be more heelish. So the crowd can chant "Let's Go Pigpen" and it would just make Sabin even more over as a heel.

He should carry a blanket and claim he's Linus, not Pig-pen.

This doesn't really make Sabin a heel, just an absolute joke. Id rather him go back to doing those lame-ass Jackass skits than potray your vision.

That wouldn't be his gimmick, it would just be a nickname to piss him off, and he would get some good fan interaction. Besides, he's a heel. He's supposed to look bad. He's supposed to be made to look stupid because he's a heel. |

I don't believe in Chris Sabin as a heel. He could stumble around and act as if he's heelish, but it'll never work. Never. And I no longer dislike Sabin, so not just saying it because I don't like him, he's just not heel material.
He's the uber babyface of the X-Division (minus AJ, when he goes back), that you jnust want to cheer for (but unlike Styles, Sabin is clueless in the heel position.)

When I first saw Sabin (which was on one of their On Demand matches) I thought he had some kinda cult gimmick with the "Hail Sabin" thing. Why don't they use that "Hail Sabin" and make it so he's a real cocky mofo who tells everyone that he IS the X-Division and that everyone needs to respect him, and that no one in the X-Division is giving him any respect.

Other wrestlers in the X-Division should worship him and he should sticker his face on the X-division title.

I do like this concept... Sabin's been doing a pretty convincing job of the twattish heel so far and getting the audience against him, using their own smarkyness to promote heel heat could work wonders. The fact its out on the net that Angle's said this will in a wierd way give Sabin momentum, heat by association if you will. In this modern age bookers and wrestlers need to use backstage goings on and wrestler's personal lives to affect kayfabe/in-ring characters. I mean look what the whole Matt/Lita thing did for Edge. Yeah he talk the ball and ran a mile with it, but that whole incident, something away from the cameras, gave him HUGE momentum, blasting him out the proverbial cannon. And if stuff printed on the sheets can affect something on that level, no reason why it can't be manipulated to give Sabin more heat. And I've no doubt he can do it, he's really starting to get this stuff it seems.

If he then couldn't put his arms down and fell to the ground shouting " Ralphie I can't get up" I might mark.

you want sabin to be a true heel, make him grow his beard out, and let him wrestle as chris sa bin laden.
guh.
okay, seriously, though. give him a meanstreak a mile wide.
have him doing LAX levels of cheating brutality. if that doesn't get over, give the ball to somebody else.

Have him brutally attack someone that the crowd loves.
Have him BLOODY ERIC YOUNG!
And then yell "Get 'im a bodybag, yeaaahh!!!"
Instant heel heat.

He should carry a piano and claim he's Linus, not Pig-pen. fixed Maybe he should be "New Wave" Chris Sabin, and try to convince everyone that his band is gonna take off. He then makes everyone listen to his key-tar solos. |

how to get sabin heat? have him wear like, 8 hoodies and 7pairs of jeans when he wrestles. then make him take it off. mmmmmm. Only if the 1st hoodie said "8 minutes until this match ends". One minute later, he takes it off, to reveal another hoodie that says "7 minutes until this match ends", and so on. Once he gets to "3 minutes until this match ends", you see him get more excited, yelling "ALRIGHT, WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE" or "IT'S ALMOST OVER" Edit: Now picture that, only it's an Ironman match. |
