Top Wrestling Heels...

Ric Flair is definately one of the greatest heels ever. Especially in the 80's.

I also gotta mention steroid case Scott Steiner. Between his constant posturing, his muscle-bound bully stereotype, the various stupid nicknames he gives himself, that stupid chainmail hood he wears and his inability to go ten minutes without making out with the tumors on his biceps, you can't help but hate the guy with a passion.

but it is no fun hating Steiner, he is too one-dimensional. Shawn Michaels for instance seemed to like the hate brought towards him and he makes a way better show. Stone cold never really changed his act but enough attitude that you simply had to admire him.

The Dudley Boys (when they made busting though wooden tables famous on WWE),

Yea, they were a great act. They were also brothers. Saw them in Atlantic City against Rob Van Dam/Sabu, but it was The Dudleys who got put through the tables that night.

As I'm typing this, I'm watching WWE Madison Square Garden Classics on MSG. Hulk Hogan's doing this bit where he's wearing a yellow ski mask and goggles and going by the name of "Hulk Machine" as he teams with two other masked men calling themselves "Big Machine" (Blackjack Mulligan) and "Super Machine" (Bill "Demolition Ax" Eadie). The trio are about to take on Bobby Heenan, Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy in a six-man tag.

Is it just me, or do Kane and King Kong Bundy look a lot alike? What's the point of all this? King Kong Bundy was a great heel.

I remember the Super Machines from Japan. One of them was Andre The Giant.

You know lately they have been looking closer in appearance with the bald heads.

On the topic of Raven (AKA Johnny Polo... heh heh), did he gain 60lbs over the last couple years, or has he always been a tub o' guts and we just never realized it because he was always wearing heavy metal tee-shirts? I just saw him on TNA and I think he's let himself go worse than when Road Warrior Animal came back last year...

Ric Flair
Roddy Piper (I was 5 and sporting a Piper lunchbox)
Raven (especially his ECW stuff in the mid 90s, like brainwashing Sandman's kid)
Undertaker
HHH (especially during his run from '99-mid 2001)

And, I liked Vince as a heel, but mostly when he was the chicken heel, who'd challenge people to a match, but would have like, 15 guys accompany him to the ring and then give them special jobs, like "Guest ring announcer, guest commentater, manager" etc, then wouldn't even wrestle a match.

But to be honest, I only watched in like, the late '80s and through out the '90s.

Ric Flair...one of the all-time great heels.

Randy Savage - Even as a heel, he still had a lot of charisma and in-ring ability. He could turn a simple elbow drop into an event.

Vader - In his WCW days, he could draw a lot of heat. The WWF never really gave him a chance, but at least he found some success over in Japan.

Mr. Perfect - Another natural born heel who combined his heat-drawing talent with remarkable wrestling ability. The "Perfect-plex" is still one of the all-time most impressive finishers in my book. RIP Curt Hennig.

Waiting for someone on Youtube to put up a video of Sullivan raising Mark "Purlple Haze" Lewin from the sea.

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan needs to be mentioned in any list of heels. Dude was a great heel manager, and a heel announcer too.

The Franchise Shane Douglas

Big Boss Man- I dunno if I'd put him at the top...but growing up, I used to not like him. First, he attacked Hulk Hogan...then years later he killed Al Snow's dog, then cooked it up and fed it to him. Shortly thereafter, he made fun of Big Show's dad dying, going so far as to crash the funeral and attach the casket to his cop car and drag it out of the cemetary with Show on top.

JaseSF · December 08, 2009, 06:47:19 PM

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper was a red hot heel in the 80s in the WWF...his feuds with Jimmy Snuka, Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan and even Mr. T come to mind immediately. Who will ever forget him smashing a coconut over Snuka's head and smooshing bananas in his face.

Chris Jericho is one of the best heels out there today... the fans legit seem to loathe him. He's one of my top faves.

HappyGilmore · December 08, 2009, 07:19:09 PM

Hollywood Hulk Hogan- people can say what they want, but the dude got a lot of heat when he was a heel.

Kurt Angle- A heel for a considerable amount of his career, the guy is great in all aspects: ruthless heel, play-it-up-for-laughs- chickensh*t heel, Patriotic All American good guy, or goofy guy next door.

Honestly Jericho was f'n awesome as a heel in WCW. He acted like the fans still loved him when they hated him. It was a beyond great run at it.

Honestly, in my opinion, Jericho is the most underrated performer of the decade. Recently saw him at a tv taping here in Philly about a month ago for SmackDown. He was great live, even at the end of the show. Everyone's leaving, and he looks up where me and my friends were. Grabs a mic, and starts barking up at us, "Hey you in the red jacket, where you going? You don't leave til I say you can leave. Hey old man, sit down and shut up, stop giving me the finger and appreciate the greatness of me." On and on for a minute or two, which culminated in a special 'dark match' just for the arena where one of the good guys came out and beat him up for berating us.
