Who do you guys think it is? Roode or Bully?

Bully :yay:

These two IMO make great heels. Bully with his tough guy badass F you persona and Roode with his perfect old school do whatever it takes Ric Flair type of heel character.

IMO Roode plays his role a little better. His match with Aries when he lost the belt was so awesome because of Roode trying to do whatever he could to win and Aries still overcoming him. oh and nothing beats a 'Shit Factor' chant. My favorite <3

I probably haven't watched enough but I love Bully so I'm going him.

Mark henry would've been up for it if he didn't get injured, definitely.

Makes sense, because IMO Roode's character is one you will appreciate more over time and the more you see of him the more you will love him; whereas Bully when you first get to know him with this gimmick will blow you away from the start, but he doesn't have as many different subtle nuances in his gimmick like Roode does.

Henry from 2011 would be up there, but not since he dropped the title and was injured. the only other WWE heel that is a really good choice IMO would be Barrett, but he's been gone for too much of 2012 to be on my best heels of 2012 list. Other heels in WWE are awesome, but don't really fit the mold for what I think of when I think of a great heel. DZ & D-Bry for example are closer to being tweeners than true heels, both in action and crowd reaction

As Dolph's pointed out this is a tricky question.

Roode's character is one you will learn to hate over time. First time you see Bobby Roode you just think "Okay he is a bit of an asshole with a ego, I've seen this before." The more you see of Roode you start to see the subtle nuances of a deep character that you can learn to hate for so much, his psychology work, his ring work or just the way he walks into the ring.

Bully Ray's character is just as finely tuned and custom made for him as Roode's is for Bobby, the difference is that Ray is portraying a more get in your face heel. Everyone, even non wrestling fans know what a bully is and how to hate him. Bully Ray is a master of playing off of that.

This is a close race but I must go with Roode on this. It all comes down to personal preferance.

It really is the little things that make Roode great. Remember him doing snow angels in the confetti after one of his title defenses? So classic. His facial expressions, his obsessions, and just how he carries himself like he is the only person in the world worth a damn and everyone else disgusts him. He's perfect IMO

Tough one to decide, but I went with Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooode.

I would say Bobby Roode. I think his character is more of a serious heel, and he the fan seem to hate him more. I liked his cocky attitude when he had the belt, his desperation to get it back now, the fans cheering shit factor, and his dirty way of fighting each match.

Bobby Roode all day. Bully is a great heel, and they are way above the rest in both businesses, in my opinion. Had to go with Roode because of how he does whatever it takes to win.

Bobby Roode quote:

Yeah definitely the same with Wade before Big Show killed his momentum as well. (Fuck me, another one) Bryan and Ziggler could easily be as good as Roode and Bully if WWE had any idea how to book them; in saying that, I feel Ziggler should be a face but I hope that doesn't happen as he wouldn't suit WWE's face booking at all. Bryan however has proven he can be an awesome heel. He was the best wrestler in the world and still managed to get RoH fans to boo him which is astounding.

Bryan gets my pick. Changed title too since this is predominantly about TNA heels.

Best heel out of those two? As much as I love Bully it has to be Roode.
