The Best Heel

[Jacob Fox]

Who do you think was the best heel in wrestling history. And do not take wrestling ability into account. Who was able to consistently make the crowd hate him or her constantly based off their acting.

I will include a poll here, but feel free to add anyone else.

Now for me, it was Andy Kaufman. He was the best heel ever. He was a good man who was good at playing an asshole. Too many legends care about cheers but Andy didn't.

Roman Reigns?

?

Seriously though...a lot of those names I've never really seen wrestle...
so if I had to vote it would be for Triple H (back in the Attitude era after
Armageddon 1999) & recently...well...Tommaso Ciampa's last run in
NXT was incredible.

Ciampa maybe the best heel I've seen in wrestling...he's actually very
compelling to watch...in the ring & during his promos. He's incredibly
subtle with his body language & delivery...and there is something
about his eyes...they are very empty & haunting in a way.

I'd really like to see him play a killer in a slasher film...

I think he'd be really good at that.

You call yourself a Ric Flair fan, and yet you vote for a troll...smh.

I feel it's Ric Flair

Like Mona Lisa is to Art is the same way how Ric Flair is to being a Heel Wrestler

Let's not forget we also saw a very young RVD as well.

Hard to say. Its tough to judge the amount of heat the old timers had because i wasnt alive. Also the old timers had the territory system, so how do u compare the heat someone had in a specific region compared to a nationwide circuit? I think in my generation, Vince McMahon takes the cake. On camera, off camera, McMahon is the ultimate villan because he runs the game.

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper

Gorgeous George. He was ahead of his time. He was Ric Flair before Ric Flair.

Ric Flair transcended the heel/face dynamic for the majority of his career.

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper

I was always a Piper fan, but going back and watching early Piper's Pit, sometimes he even pissed me off so good vote.

I know, I was making a joke as Kaufman would get my vote because the man was the original Troll

lol he felt so bad about it, though. I remember reading his autobiography and he said to this day, the kid crying really upset him. They, of course, gave the kid the money backstage and he was happy but Ted still felt bad.

Yeah you are right the more I think about it. I first thought he wasn't a troll, but he did sort of start the trolling world going.

I mean, the more and more you watch his stuff him being a troll is obvious. He would purposely say things to piss people and then laugh about it such as when he said that women were good at cleaning, cooking food, taking care of the babies, and such.
