The following are key highlights submitted\u00a0to PWTorch by the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On how difficult it is to be a heel:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;I\u2019m going to tell you the only danger for me was all that negative energy that comes at you, when you\u2019re a heel, from the people&#8230; Yes, it gets to you. When you\u2019re somebody like me, it gets to you\u2026 When you have, like, 20,000 people all telling you you suck, you know\u2026and even when you\u2019re leaving the building and the f&#8212;ing show\u2019s over, Kev, and you got your kids with you and they\u2019re going &#8216;You f&#8212;ing piece of sh&#8211;&#8216; f&#8212;ing f-ing f-this you know calling you everything in front of your kids\u2026 and people can say, &#8216;Oh words ah they\u2019re just words, f&#8212;ing words&#8217; are more powerful than the sword. Sometimes I don\u2019t care what anyone says.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On why pro wrestling doesn&#8217;t have heels like it had in the past (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D46fhHJOR6o?t=14m10s\">WATCH<\/a>):<\/strong> &#8220;They don&#8217;t get real heat anymore, Kev. They\u2019re afraid they don&#8217;t want that kind of heat on their show anymore. It\u2019s different now, Kev, there\u2019s no real heels. We don\u2019t want that much heat. We don\u2019t want the kind of heat where riots happen. S&#8211; like that we don\u2019t want that anymore, it\u2019s different. They knew it was scripted when we were doing NWO and we had riots in the crowd against each other just because one part of the crowd liked WCW.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On why Roman Reigns should not go full blown heel (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D46fhHJOR6o?t=15m45s\">WATCH<\/a>):<\/strong> &#8220;Roman Reigns. When he comes out, he gets that reaction that&#8217;s different than 99 percent of the other people on the roster. It&#8217;s different, and might be some boos in there, but it&#8217;s just at a different magnitude. Why do we need to all of a sudden go, &#8216;Okay, now he&#8217;s a heel.&#8217;? Why can&#8217;t he just start acting a little heel-ish. That&#8217;s what he&#8217;s doing. So many people are stuck on, &#8216;Well, he just needs to turn heel.&#8217; Why does somebody have to officially turn. It&#8217;s not 1980.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro is a late night talk show produced Maria Menounos, that airs live Mondays and Thursdays from 10-12am EST at thetomorrowshow.com and is available on iTunes.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS PREVIOUS ARTICLE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/03\/07\/interview-highlights-j-styles-talks-lilian-garcia-long-journey-wwe-family-religion\/\">INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS: A.J.
