| Re: Best Heel of All-Time
My personal faves are
Rick Rude, as agreed with on the other thread (and here now). Played his role superbly both in WWE and WCW.
Mr Perfect, like Rude, a natural heel with an awesome gimmick.
Kurt Angle. I don't personally agree that it's a main event gimmick, but his cowardly comedy heel in both WWE and TNA is a great gimmick.
Shawn Michaels, along with Flair, the only one of my choices that also made (for me) as incredible a face as heel. I can see that he doesn't want to go heel again, but his short term heel run with Hogan (including the interview promo as Hogan and the heel speech in Canada) reminded me of what a great heat machine Shawn always could be.
Ric Flair. Do I have to explain?
Brian Pillman. I loved this guy. Awesome heel heat generator wherever he worked.
Eddie Guerrero, from his work with Art Barr almost up to his death, an incredible heel performer. I was never too struck on his face work, but he did do great in ring comedy as a face.
Ted DiBiase. An all time favourite. Again, he was a great heel wrestler already, but the gimmick in WWE pushed that envelope superbly.
Of the current crop of wrestlers around, I'd say Edge is probably the only guy that has a chance of joining my list.
I do love heels, but really only those that can always work incredibly well, and all the above could. |
