| Re: Best Heel Ever Tournament: Shawn Michaels vs Bobby Heenan
"The Brain" is the bigger heel, because he always stuck with the heels. He had an entire "Family" whose mission was to kill Hulkamania and win the WWF Championship. Heenan's motivation for wanting to take the title off of Hogan was because he managed the AWA champion (Nick Bockwinkle) whom Hogan never defeated for the title. Instead, Bockwinkle would retain the title because Hulk tossed Bockwinkle over the top rope. Also, Heenan took every possible verbal low blow he could against faces. Even their family members were not safe when he did commentary as evidenced by Survivor Series 1992.
Even at his most heelish, Michaels only pissed off fans in Canada for a match he had little control of. Meanwhile, Heenan was generally hated as the man who had a multi-racial army bent on ruining children's dreams by eliminating Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania from the World Wrestling Federation. |
