2. Ric Flair
1. Rowdy Roddy Piper

Honestly I could go on and on about this list and it would be so long and so negative that I doubt anyone would read the whole think, but I'll say this... as much as I loved Roddy Piper, that dude has no business being at the top of this list. Just because he headlined the first Wrestlemania it doesn't automatically make him the measuring stick of all the heels in the business because he certainly wasn't. I would have put Piper below Vince, Flair, Hogan, Heenan, and quite a few others.

In my opinion, Flair should have been #1 and Vince McMahon #2. I really don't understand how Piper got that high on the list. And as much of a fan I am of Jericho's, I'm really not even sure how he made it as high as he did either.

I'm sure the rest of you will have plenty to say about this as well.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I don't agree with the order but happy to see a lot of legends on the list. WWE likes to undervalue pre-Mania boom a lot so that made me happy.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, I never agree with the order, but I'm happy with the names included. My top five would be:

1. Vince McMahon
2. Ric Flair
3. Hollywood Hogan
4. Triple H
5. Jake Roberts.

 

[AJ.]

Hmmm Roddy #1? Not the way I would put this at all. Still it's what they think. Also some good names still included in the list.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

I mean the order of them is always up for debate, but as long as they get everyone in there that should be and it seems like they have....... Personally, I think Rick Rude is undervalued at 11, dude was an all out Heat Machine.... and I think Trips is overvalued at 6 but what do ya expect, he is the COO...

My top 5 would go..... 5. Rick Rude 4. Roddy Piper 3.Vince McMahon 2. Ric Flair 1. Hollywood Hogan

Trips was a GOD of a heel in 2000 man, I actually think he was undervalued on the list.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

Trips was a GOD of a heel in 2000 man, I actually think he was undervalued on the list.

yes but that's a one year heel run where as the others made either a career or a drastic career change with their Heel work.... this is a greatest villain of all time list and I totally feel Trips should be high on the list but not as high as the guys who did it full time

 

[Chris]

I really just used 2000 because that's the only year everyone agrees that Trips was in GOAT mode. I enjoyed all his stuff from his Raw run in '02-'05, but a lot of people aren't really a fan of that one, with reason, but I thought that was more on the booking and person hate for Trips not his actual heel work, which was great.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Randy Savage only being 49 is an absolute joke. Nice list, but how is Savage not in the top 20 at minimum?

 

[zigglerHEEL]

I'll give him top 15, maybe just in the top 10 but I can't put him ahead of the guys who made careers of it

 

[Deezy]

Lists are always subjective and not going to please everybody.

I don't think Killer Kowalski isn't high enough for example, he was such an effective heel, that he actually caused deaths in Japan from the TV screen. trufax.

Also, surprised that Blassie isn't higher either, seeing as Vince was such a mark for him and regarded him very highly.

As for Savage being so low.....Who actually thinks of him as a heel? Most of my memories of him are when he was face. Even during his Macho King run, I never thoght of him as heel tbh.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

You may think of him as more of a face, but you are telling me someone like Vickie Guerrero or Randy Orton was a better heel than him?

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Orton was a pretty awesome heel in my opinion. I'm with deezy. Savage just never came across as a heel to me.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I also think of Savage as heel as IC Champ and his turn on Hogan when I think of him so he'd be a lot higher for me. Blassie and the Original Sheik would be in my top 10 as well.

 

[punk13]

The top 6 is just fine. The rest…..uh WTF?
