I haven't seen a thread on this, so I thought I'd ask. Its my first started thread too!
My question is: Who are your favorite WWE lifelong heels?
Criteria:
1) The wrestler never had a face turn. Managers -- as long as they were always a heel -- qualify too.
2) Has to be a WWE/WWF wrestler. Doesn't matter if they jumped ship.
3) Tell us why you love to hate them! What did they do that made you just grind your teeth and boo until you had no voice? Give us a classic moment from your memory.
I have 3 that come to mind. The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Mr. Fuji, and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Ted DiBiase was always so full of himself, rich, arrogant, condescending, and an excellent wrestler. His antics are legendary, and now he is going into the WWE Hall of Fame. He was a complete heel all his life and wow was he good at it.
Classic Moment: Virgil/DiBiase vs. Dusty/Dustin Rhodes at the Royal Rumble waaaaaaaaay back when. After cheating to win the match, DiBiase still taunted Virgil and made him pick up the money from the floor. I thought "You just won and that guy helped you! You jerk!" Then Virgil cracked DiBiase and went face, and the crowd exploded. One of the loudest pops I can remember back then because of the constant taunting and the build. Takes a great bad guy to do that.
Mr. Fuji was always quiet and scheming. My experience with him was only when he was a manager, but he was always a great bad guy. You knew that he would be hiding around the ring and ready to crack someone with his cane and cost them the match.
Classic Moment: Mr. Fuji caned the Rockers at a house show I went to, costing them their title shot against Demolition. BOOOOOOOOOOO!
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan had charisma and the gift of the gab. Even as an announcer he was great. But he was never a face, he was always a bad guy, representing bad people. When I was a kid I booed the "Heenan Family" until I was blue in the face.
Classic moment: WM 5 (?), Ravishing Rick Rude vs. The Ultimate Warrior for the IC title--that jerk was holding onto the Warrior's legs on the outside of the ring while the ref counted. No way the ref could have seen him. Well done and BOOOOOOOOO to you Bobby.
