Nobody could make a jobber look adequate like DiBiase. Did he ever even have a match where he wasn't carrying the whole thing?

George the Animal Steele is still my favorite, though.

Stephanie still gets good enough heat but she was gold back during the McMahon-Helmsley Regime. I went to Raw in the GA Dome in early 2000 and the entire place was booing her so much before she even said a word.

No cooler heel than when The Rock joined Vince McMahon and the Corporaton

Superstar Billy Graham was the original "cool" heel and Rock admits to stealing his mannerisms. Unfortunately, Vince Sr. was still in charge then and he was stubborn to change just like every other old school promoter.

They were great. It's funny how most people remember them as the goofy Bushwhackers and not the badass brawling tag team (+/- barbed wire) that they were back in the day.

When he first came to WCW I think Vader had one of the best monster heel runs I've ever seen.

The Midnight Express, both versions, were an excellent heel tag team.

Kimala was really awkward in the ring but made it work with that gimmick and he could sell his arse off for a big man.

Gino Hernandez was just becoming a world class heel when he passed away.

While he wasn't the most amazing in ring wrestler I don't think anyone matched Ernie Ladd in his prime at getting heat.

Dr. Wagner Jr. down in Mexico had an amazing heel (rudo) run. Didn't have the height or weight for a big run in America or Japan (beyond the cruiser weights) but he was great working with smaller wrestlers when he could bust out his power moves. His brother Silver King was great when he got the chances to be great.

Hansen and Brody were tremendous in Japan as evil gaijins.

Oddly enough a young Dusty Rhodes played a great cocky heel before his big run down in Florida.

This thread is a tough one for me. I don't know that I could name a "favorite heel," as any heel worth his weight I legitimately hated as a kid.

Looking back, I have a deep, deep appreciation for Ric Flair - someone I hated with every fiber of my being as a child. He pulled it off better than anyone, IMO. His promo shoots were amazing. He was absolutely bought into being his character, and it was fantastic.

The greatest heel turn of all time was Hogan to the NWO. We're talking about an event that every single person in the audience KNOWS is fake as shite, and they were so hurt and pissed off by it that they couldn't resist throwing garbage into the ring. I legitimately sobbed when it happened. Amazing to think about.

I'll watch wrestling for a year or two and then go multiple years without watching so I've missed alot lately but my current favorite is The Miz. I don't think I could actually like him as a face. The spoof on John and Nikki and the backstage blowup on Daniel Bryan were both awesome.
