You guys forgot Fabulous Moolah who literally got younger more talented females addicted to drugs so that she could remain champion for like a decade. That woman was truly horrible.
Too much talk about HBK. None about his significant other Marty Jennety. His constant partying, drug use, not showing up for matches, constant suspensions and (during his Rockers run) botching a match leaving a jobber paralyzed. Jennety deserves to be on this list more than Shawn.
HMs: Grizzy Smith Ronda Rousey Tessa Blanchard Brutus Beefcake Billy Jack Hynes New Jack Ric Flair Pat Patterson Ryback Fabolous Moolah Matt Bourne Hardcore Holly Shawn Michaels (He’s repaired his image and is a saint nowadays. I’m taking about him in the 90s when he was in his prime.) There’s even more to mention
I'm not sure Ronda Rousey is a terrible human being, she's just a brat that can't handle a loss. I don't think she's ever actually *done* anything bad to another person, who most people on here seem to have done.
A lot of the people on this list are just people who say things you disagree with. I mean, Ryback and Ronda? Also, as far as I'm aware the allegations against Pat were only ever rumours
Never will forget how disappointed jim cornette was in sunny when she got convicted. It was genuinely sad cos it's as close to an angry dad as id heard him. It is depressing that she never stopped making excuses and even in conviction still used chris candido passing as an excuse.
@@RKStrikerJK5It’s hard to blame him. Those early shoots he did had him speaking fondly of Sunny, especially compared to Sable, and she seemed part of that group he liked booking. Then she killed a man, and as he put it, it’s one thing to screw up your own life, but it’s another to hurt someone else who had nothing to do with it.
@@RKStrikerJK5 he did forreal. I felt like he sounded like he blamed himself to a degree cos he met her when she was so young like a teenager? And maybe the guy felt he could've done more back then to redirect her life but that ain't on him. I hope she can change while doing time but i doubt that
Thought Fabulous Moolah and Hardbody Harrison would be included. However, Moolah's faults may have happened when she was heel on screen. As for Hardbody Harrison, he is a jobber many have never heard of.
I feel like adding Lex Lugger on here is odd. There are a lot of wrestlers who have been charged with domestic abuse who aren't on this list. I would have had maybe Hardbody Harrison on the list.
@@Devitciiu Steve Austin had ONE episode of DV, owned it, accepted responsibility, and has never shyed away from saying he was wrong. Try picking a name that hasn't already atoned for his actions.
@@SkunkApe407 In her June 28th 2007 Hannity & Colmes interview, Debra said the attack Steve was arrested for was the third of its kind. Also he pleaded no contest at trial which is accepting the punishment but denying guilt, which I would say isn't accepting responsibility. If he accepted responsibility he would have plead guilty.
He was mostly a heel and he’s not a wrestler. If they made a Top 10 most evil men in wrestling, I guaranteed you he will be on that list and in number one because that’s what I hope will happen given he’s been exposed for who he is.
According to Kevin Nash Randy wasn't on speaking terms with Lex for a short while after Miss Elizabeth's death stating "That while yes he was a asshole to her he never did anything to put her life in jeopardy unlike Lex who actually put her in danger via the drinking and drugs" but they managed to bury the hatchet after Lex after he got cleaned up publicly went to Randy and apologize for the actions stating that if he could take it all back he could but he couldn't so he has to live with the consequences of his actions.
@@derrickhaggardwhy apologize for the decisions of a grown woman? Is she not responsible for her own actions? And as for Savage he use to beat Elizabeth and lock her in the locker room… this is one of the reasons Andre the Giant didn’t like Savage and would really hit him when they worked together.
@@derrickhaggard The impression I got was that Randy was Liz's true love and vise versa. I was younger when this all went on. Now that I'm older I can see that Liz was a beautiful lady. Not just pretty but beautiful .

@@gregoryhoyle3739actually Hulk Hogan is great with fans, he has no issue stopping and talking to people. As for his issues in pro wrestling, what he did was very common during his time period, once you got a good spot you did whatever to keep it for as long as you can because pro wrestling is one of those careers where one minute you can be on top the next working at a Wal Mart, so you make as much money as you can. Very cutthroat business.
I went to some shows run by buck and worked for him during my short time in the business. A wrestler I know said he had buck and his daughter spend the night at his house and said he heard things. The wrestler had been known to make things up so I didn’t believe him but then the allegations he was last arrested for came out
The thing is from what I can tell he seemed to grow out of it as he got older. Sorta like HBK. Both were supreme narcissist dicks at their peaks but mellowed out with age.
They probably didn't include him since he's not really known for his wrestling career his better known for his celebrity status I'm glad exotic Adrian street stiffed him in the ring
When I heard Tammy Sytch say "She didn't date chocolate", my opinion of her greatly lowered. She could've just she didn't date black guys, and that would've been fine.
I turned against her after the stuff she said about Hana Kimura who took her own life and all Sunny had to say was basically if you lead those words hurt you you're weak
There's one other personality who was a wrestler that turned out to be an absolute monster. If you're British, you probably know who it is and I'm not giving any hints.
Heck Mark Calloway(Undertaker) stated during his Last Ride documentary that he still hasn't forgiven Hogan for accusing him of hitting him with a unsafe Tombstone Piledriver during their Survivor Series 92 match which according to Mark when he first heard the accusation from Hogan after the match he was utterly terrified as his mind went to "crap I just seriously injured Hulk Hogan the gold standard of what it meant to be a WWF superstar that's it I'm done once Vince hears about this I'm going to be fired and out of a job." but when he watched the replay of the match himself backstage he saw that Hogan was lying about what happened and that the Tombstone Piledriver was actually done properly and safely and that was what caused him to no longer consider Hogan a friend but he kept it professional and didn't call Hogan out about his blatant lie in front of the other guys backstage. Heck Sting revealed that the reason why the WCW World Title match between him and Hogan at Starrcade 97 ended in that awful finish was because Hogan didn't want to put him over as according to Sting the finish of the match was to be Hogan pins him via a blatant fast count due to ref being on the NWO and Eric Bischoff's payroll but Bret Hart who was debuting as a babyface would run out and take over as the ref to ensure Hogan who was the heel wouldn't retain via a screw-job which would result in Sting winning the title via a clean submission finish however the finish unknown to him and Bret was changed to where Hogan pins him cleanly but Bret still comes out and restarts the match resulting in Sting's title win via submission at the last moment without him and Bret knowing ahead of time via Hogan implementing his infamous "Creative Control Clause" that he has in his WCW Contract which rightfully pissed off Sting and Bret, now while Hogan and Eric has refuted this claim by stating that the sudden match finish change was due to the real-life Steve Borden being out of shape and in no condition to perform however Sting's claim was backed up by Bret Hart and knowing Hogan's backstage rep I'm inclined to believe Sting and Bret over Hogan and Bischoff. Heck Bret Hart revealed in his autobiography that the only reason why Hogan got Warrior hired by WCW was so he could avenge his WM6 loss which he would successfully do during that trainwreck of a match at Halloween Havoc 98.
I haven't either but for some reason my suggestions feed have been popping up about him for some reason like shoots by Jim Ross, Dutch Mantell, Ted Dibiase, and others.
Sweetan was surprisingly good as Mr. Piledriver, the Face, despite also being good as Bruiser Bob the Heel. The reason he worked was that he made the piledriver look devastating, without ever actually hurting anybody, and he did really good pseudo-philosophical promos. In addition to Blanchard, he had a really good feud with Adrian Adonis. But even SCW turned him heel again just before he left to go to Puerto Rico for a year, and in a really bizarre way. They had a battle royal to decide Blanchard's next challenger. Blanchard was booked to be terrified of Sweetan. So, when Sweetan and Conway were the last two left, Blanchard ran in and attacked Conway, so that he'd win by DQ. While Sweetan was complaining about it, some of the other faces, said what about you? You held the ropes when you pinned another face earlier. At this point, Sweetan concocted a plan to get the title back, not by going after Blanchard, and making his life a living hell, but by beating all the *other* faces, so that Blanchard would have to face him. Say what?? Okay, I get that he wanted such a good record that he'd be #1 contender, or something, but why go after faces specifically? But he had these pseudo-philosophical promos again, about how the road to the gold was paved with bodies... the bodies of people who'd been PILEDRIVED! But somehow it didn't work out, and he left the territory for a year. When he came back, he was a face again. The story was that Eric Embry was in Jonathan Boyd's Commonwealth Army (the precursor to the NWO). Sweetan was the guy who had taught Embry the piledriver, and they started feuding when Sweetan didn't want to join Boyd. Embry lost a Loser Leaves Town Scaffold Match, and came back under a mask, long before Andre the Giant did the same. Embry turned Face about the same time he started hiding his face, and started feuding with Boyd and the Sheepherders. Eventually Embry as The Masked Fabulous Blonde, broke Boyd's leg with the Sheepherder's infamous loaded black glove, ending a year long storyline.
@jamesthornton3539 allegedly she sexual exploited many women wrestlers she was training for decades many women came forward with their stories she also ruined their pushes if they didn't slept with promoters or she felt her position on top being threatened
I expect Chris Benoit to be on the list. What he did to Nancy and Daniel was so despicable and evil. Really heartless of him for killing his own wife and son. Well he's burning in agony in hell now.
In which alternate reality was Tammy Sytch a babyface? Maybe during the short time as the Legion Of Doom's manager/valet at the very end of her WWF tenure. She was popular, sure. That doesn't make her a babyface. "Tammy Fytch" in SMW was a heel, "Sunny" was a heel with the "Bodydonnas" and later as Chris Candido's valet.
I wouldn't call all of these people "heels." A true wrestling heel not only takes pleasure in committing evil deeds, but also never learns the error of their ways. Most of the people on this list were punished, came to bad ends, or repented.
Dude, that is kid stuff compared to what many other people have done over the years. That is nothing compared to what people like Ultimate Warrior and Hogan have done. And even they are nowhere near the worst.
Guess that means we now need a video on top 10 heels that are actually real life babyfaces

@@grizzly_lariatto Publicly it would seem so. That's why he was able to get away with so much of the awful things he did.
@@grizzly_lariatto you are right,my friend. It is my mistake.
@@grizzly_lariatto If not as an active wrestler, he portrayed a babyface persona as the matchmaker in Mid-South.
Buck Zumhofe is another. Oops, he was in the vid. My bad.
I was expecting 90's HBK to feature, till I saw the whole list and realised he's a bit of a minnow in the arsehole stakes
Yeah 90’s Shawn is basically a saint compared to some of these!
@@lexiejames3514 and at least he seemed to repent, or at least grew the fuck up enough to not be a douche nozzle after his return.
Hulk Hogan is on the low end too, he never killed anyone, just made sure he and his buddies got paid and had jobs. Nothing wrong with that.
You guys forgot Fabulous Moolah who literally got younger more talented females addicted to drugs so that she could remain champion for like a decade. That woman was truly horrible.
Thank you for correcting yourself and pronouncing "vitamins" correctly 👊🏼 💪🏼
Live long enough to turn into the villain.
Too much talk about HBK. None about his significant other Marty Jennety. His constant partying, drug use, not showing up for matches, constant suspensions and (during his Rockers run) botching a match leaving a jobber paralyzed. Jennety deserves to be on this list more than Shawn.
Someone didn't watch the video.
Don't forget, Luger was also married to someone else for the first bit of his relationship with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was also married… so how is Luger the only villain in this? They were both horrible people.
@@andrewft31 I thought she was already divorced when her and luger got together

Shawn Michaels (He’s repaired his image and is a saint nowadays. I’m taking about him in the 90s when he was in his prime.)
There’s even more to mention
I'm not sure Ronda Rousey is a terrible human being, she's just a brat that can't handle a loss.
I don't think she's ever actually *done* anything bad to another person, who most people on here seem to have done.
A lot of the people on this list are just people who say things you disagree with. I mean, Ryback and Ronda?
Also, as far as I'm aware the allegations against Pat were only ever rumours
Never will forget how disappointed jim cornette was in sunny when she got convicted. It was genuinely sad cos it's as close to an angry dad as id heard him. It is depressing that she never stopped making excuses and even in conviction still used chris candido passing as an excuse.
I listened to that, and yeah. He was disappointed and angry and sounded... sad, too.
@@RKStrikerJK5It’s hard to blame him. Those early shoots he did had him speaking fondly of Sunny, especially compared to Sable, and she seemed part of that group he liked booking. Then she killed a man, and as he put it, it’s one thing to screw up your own life, but it’s another to hurt someone else who had nothing to do with it.
What episode was this?
Oh i cannot remember the number but type in jim cornette tammy sytch and the thumbnail is tammy in an orange jumpsuit i think @mike1975a
@@RKStrikerJK5 he did forreal. I felt like he sounded like he blamed himself to a degree cos he met her when she was so young like a teenager? And maybe the guy felt he could've done more back then to redirect her life but that ain't on him. I hope she can change while doing time but i doubt that
Thought Fabulous Moolah and Hardbody Harrison would be included. However, Moolah's faults may have happened when she was heel on screen. As for Hardbody Harrison, he is a jobber many have never heard of.
When was Sunny playing a babyface?
She was a heel most of her career.

@@ryancorrigan4149 That only lasted a couple of months.

I guess when she was only doing the guest ring announcing she was, or at least tweener.

I think luger has turned around a lot, he looks more well than he has in years and seems humble
he is confined to a wheelchair and looks 1000 years old. i would hate to see him look bad in your estimation.
Luger looks like he weighs less than 100 lbs now and not in a good way.
@@Flash9230 But is he happy/at peace?
I feel like adding Lex Lugger on here is odd. There are a lot of wrestlers who have been charged with domestic abuse who aren't on this list. I would have had maybe Hardbody Harrison on the list.
Now, how many of them were intended to be a star spangled replacement for Hulk Hogan? Lex has a larger profile than most of them, I'm sure.
@@SkunkApe407 Steve Austin
@@Devitciiu Steve Austin had ONE episode of DV, owned it, accepted responsibility, and has never shyed away from saying he was wrong. Try picking a name that hasn't already atoned for his actions.
@@SkunkApe407 In her June 28th 2007 Hannity & Colmes interview, Debra said the attack Steve was arrested for was the third of its kind. Also he pleaded no contest at trial which is accepting the punishment but denying guilt, which I would say isn't accepting responsibility. If he accepted responsibility he would have plead guilty.
@@Devitciiu you're relying on one source, rather than the multiple times he's addressed it since. You should try looking at the whole picture.
Dishonourable mention for Vince McMahon
He was mostly a heel and he’s not a wrestler. If they made a Top 10 most evil men in wrestling, I guaranteed you he will be on that list and in number one because that’s what I hope will happen given he’s been exposed for who he is.
@@dmercy8477 it’s 10 wrestling not wrestler an without Vinny Mac there would be no list 😁
He wasn't he was definitely a face especially when he was on commentary for many years, during new gen after Jessie v left @@dmercy8477
Pat Patterson could be there also. How did Randy Savage treat Lex Luther after the death of his ex wife Miss Liz?
According to Kevin Nash Randy wasn't on speaking terms with Lex for a short while after Miss Elizabeth's death stating "That while yes he was a asshole to her he never did anything to put her life in jeopardy unlike Lex who actually put her in danger via the drinking and drugs" but they managed to bury the hatchet after Lex after he got cleaned up publicly went to Randy and apologize for the actions stating that if he could take it all back he could but he couldn't so he has to live with the consequences of his actions.
@@derrickhaggardwhy apologize for the decisions of a grown woman? Is she not responsible for her own actions? And as for Savage he use to beat Elizabeth and lock her in the locker room… this is one of the reasons Andre the Giant didn’t like Savage and would really hit him when they worked together.
@@derrickhaggard The impression I got was that Randy was Liz's true love and vise versa. I was younger when this all went on. Now that I'm older I can see that Liz was a beautiful lady. Not just pretty but beautiful .

He turned him in to Superman.
I'm not gonna lie, the fact we don't live in the timeline where one of the rookies shanked JBL, Benoit, or Bob makes me a bit disappointed.
At least JBL got legitimatly crushed by Steve Blackman in the late 90's, was forced to job to the Blue Meanie, and was cold cocked by Joey Styles or whoever was the one old ECW commentator. So at least he got a fair share of commupance.

Both of these men are terrifying
Chris Benoit...Well we knew that we weren't going to leave him out of this😑
Well he did murder his wife and child. Pretty evil
he deserves the spot more than anyone else
He was dealing with severe CTE While it doesn't excuse his actions it explains it 😔
@nicktaylor2657 exactly, dude's mind was Swiss cheese due to CTE, but nobody took concussions seriously UNTIL the incident occurred. Of course he isn't innocent, but dude was just as much a victim of his actions as his family was.
@@nicktaylor2657 People with severe CTE feel dizzy and need to lie down, they don't get the brainwave to stage a crime scene. He'd thought about this for years, probably all his life, he just decided to chase that rush.
Let's admit it, Randy Savage could have been a jealous toxic with Elizabeth but he would never have laid a finger on her.
But he happily locked her in a room, lets not sugar coat it that is fucked up.
To keep her safe. 🤪
Yeah I'd have replaced Sunny on this list with Savage mostly for the fact that Sunny was mostly a heel
Hulk Hogan . The biggest real life heel brother
That doesnt work me right now brother
At least he's not a murderer like Snuka. He's a douche, yes, but at least he didn't murder anyone, or a **** like Buck Zumhoffe.
Hogan is definitely not a real-life heel.
@@jabrondestoroyah Jesus dude
@@gregoryhoyle3739actually Hulk Hogan is great with fans, he has no issue stopping and talking to people. As for his issues in pro wrestling, what he did was very common during his time period, once you got a good spot you did whatever to keep it for as long as you can because pro wrestling is one of those careers where one minute you can be on top the next working at a Wal Mart, so you make as much money as you can. Very cutthroat business.
I went to some shows run by buck and worked for him during my short time in the business. A wrestler I know said he had buck and his daughter spend the night at his house and said he heard things. The wrestler had been known to make things up so I didn’t believe him but then the allegations he was last arrested for came out
Ultimate Warrior was my favourite wrestler when I was a kid... its a shame to learn he was an a-hole.
The thing is from what I can tell he seemed to grow out of it as he got older. Sorta like HBK. Both were supreme narcissist dicks at their peaks but mellowed out with age.
Don't forget New Jack.
What about Savile. The crimes of that monster have Royal family links.
They probably didn't include him since he's not really known for his wrestling career his better known for his celebrity status I'm glad exotic Adrian street stiffed him in the ring

I turned against her after the stuff she said about Hana Kimura who took her own life and all Sunny had to say was basically if you lead those words hurt you you're weak
I literally liked when he said "wrestlers are like people on steroids", what a line 😂
At least Bret Hart is not an asshole. Owen Hart wasn't an asshole either.
Unless you're a Goldberg fan.
Owen was a huge asshole since he never apologized to Steve Austin
non bots unite?
Unite all you like. The bots will win in the end.
Oh...Brutus WAS the baggage. I just thought he carried it.
Sunny was always a heel on screen. So life imitating art, then.
There's one other personality who was a wrestler that turned out to be an absolute monster. If you're British, you probably know who it is and I'm not giving any hints.
Hogan is the Homelander of wrestling.
After Eddie died in 2005 , Chris Benoit lost all his marbles . Eddie and Chirs were best friends and treated each other like brothers.
Always thought Ultimate Warrior was overrated.
Since he was an Attitude Era style face, Val Venis?
Rocky Johnson escaped the list 🤔
When ya got guys like Taker and HBK coming forward with stories about Hogan intentionally trying to fuck um over, ya don't really recover from that.
Heck Mark Calloway(Undertaker) stated during his Last Ride documentary that he still hasn't forgiven Hogan for accusing him of hitting him with a unsafe Tombstone Piledriver during their Survivor Series 92 match which according to Mark when he first heard the accusation from Hogan after the match he was utterly terrified as his mind went to "crap I just seriously injured Hulk Hogan the gold standard of what it meant to be a WWF superstar that's it I'm done once Vince hears about this I'm going to be fired and out of a job." but when he watched the replay of the match himself backstage he saw that Hogan was lying about what happened and that the Tombstone Piledriver was actually done properly and safely and that was what caused him to no longer consider Hogan a friend but he kept it professional and didn't call Hogan out about his blatant lie in front of the other guys backstage.
Heck Sting revealed that the reason why the WCW World Title match between him and Hogan at Starrcade 97 ended in that awful finish was because Hogan didn't want to put him over as according to Sting the finish of the match was to be Hogan pins him via a blatant fast count due to ref being on the NWO and Eric Bischoff's payroll but Bret Hart who was debuting as a babyface would run out and take over as the ref to ensure Hogan who was the heel wouldn't retain via a screw-job which would result in Sting winning the title via a clean submission finish however the finish unknown to him and Bret was changed to where Hogan pins him cleanly but Bret still comes out and restarts the match resulting in Sting's title win via submission at the last moment without him and Bret knowing ahead of time via Hogan implementing his infamous "Creative Control Clause" that he has in his WCW Contract which rightfully pissed off Sting and Bret, now while Hogan and Eric has refuted this claim by stating that the sudden match finish change was due to the real-life Steve Borden being out of shape and in no condition to perform however Sting's claim was backed up by Bret Hart and knowing Hogan's backstage rep I'm inclined to believe Sting and Bret over Hogan and Bischoff.
Heck Bret Hart revealed in his autobiography that the only reason why Hogan got Warrior hired by WCW was so he could avenge his WM6 loss which he would successfully do during that trainwreck of a match at Halloween Havoc 98.
@@derrickhaggard he's absolute trash
Let's be real, though. 'Taker ran Wrestler's Court for years, and that was a load of toxic BS in its own right. Don't forget what he did to Kanyon.

@@SkunkApe407yep the leader of the locker room.bullys
Lex so killed Elizabeth
Elizabeth killed Elizabeth. Lex didn't force her to take drugs.
Randy Savage was a great worker and mostly put new SuperStars over.
Never heard of Bob Sweetan.
Let’s keep it that way. lol 😅
I haven't either but for some reason my suggestions feed have been popping up about him for some reason like shoots by Jim Ross, Dutch Mantell, Ted Dibiase, and others.
Now do the opposite: 10 wrestling heels who were real life babyfaces.
Sweetan was surprisingly good as Mr. Piledriver, the Face, despite also being good as Bruiser Bob the Heel. The reason he worked was that he made the piledriver look devastating, without ever actually hurting anybody, and he did really good pseudo-philosophical promos. In addition to Blanchard, he had a really good feud with Adrian Adonis.
But even SCW turned him heel again just before he left to go to Puerto Rico for a year, and in a really bizarre way. They had a battle royal to decide Blanchard's next challenger. Blanchard was booked to be terrified of Sweetan. So, when Sweetan and Conway were the last two left, Blanchard ran in and attacked Conway, so that he'd win by DQ. While Sweetan was complaining about it, some of the other faces, said what about you? You held the ropes when you pinned another face earlier.
At this point, Sweetan concocted a plan to get the title back, not by going after Blanchard, and making his life a living hell, but by beating all the *other* faces, so that Blanchard would have to face him. Say what?? Okay, I get that he wanted such a good record that he'd be #1 contender, or something, but why go after faces specifically? But he had these pseudo-philosophical promos again, about how the road to the gold was paved with bodies... the bodies of people who'd been PILEDRIVED! But somehow it didn't work out, and he left the territory for a year.
When he came back, he was a face again. The story was that Eric Embry was in Jonathan Boyd's Commonwealth Army (the precursor to the NWO). Sweetan was the guy who had taught Embry the piledriver, and they started feuding when Sweetan didn't want to join Boyd. Embry lost a Loser Leaves Town Scaffold Match, and came back under a mask, long before Andre the Giant did the same. Embry turned Face about the same time he started hiding his face, and started feuding with Boyd and the Sheepherders. Eventually Embry as The Masked Fabulous Blonde, broke Boyd's leg with the Sheepherder's infamous loaded black glove, ending a year long storyline.
Well, Sunny was originally a heel. Maybe she was disguised as a babyface? 😂
I will never forget someone saying that heels tended to be nicer people irl since they get humbled since they are supposed to lose
How is Moolah not on this list?!
She ain't a heel, she's a demon, same as Vince. Both are too much even for this list.
@@Bananahammock681 that's correct. Sounds like you just came up with a new top 10 list. 😁
@Bananahammock681 same goes for grizzly smith
@Bananahammock681 what did she do??
@jamesthornton3539 allegedly she sexual exploited many women wrestlers she was training for decades many women came forward with their stories she also ruined their pushes if they didn't slept with promoters or she felt her position on top being threatened
I expect Chris Benoit to be on the list. What he did to Nancy and Daniel was so despicable and evil. Really heartless of him for killing his own wife and son. Well he's burning in agony in hell now.
Fritz Von Erich in 80s WCCW era?
Sunny lost her mind when she realized those looks don’t last forever 😂😂 she was lost as to what to do
"people can be pretty terrible.. and wrestlers are like people on steroi- uhh moving on" 😂😂
This is my favorite wrestling category
You missed Grizzly Smith...
He would have been a whole video.
In which alternate reality was Tammy Sytch a babyface? Maybe during the short time as the Legion Of Doom's manager/valet at the very end of her WWF tenure. She was popular, sure. That doesn't make her a babyface. "Tammy Fytch" in SMW was a heel, "Sunny" was a heel with the "Bodydonnas" and later as Chris Candido's valet.
Buck Zoomoff? 😂😂😂 Didn’t the AWA have to make up a Jr title just for him?
What about Tony Jurhkoff?
The inclusion of Billy Jack Haynes was too obvious, wasn't it?
Yeah he should have been included on here.
Buck Zumhofe
Is Zumhofe the guy who's at the start of that AWA Wrestlerock Rumble rap? If so, I'll never watch that the same way again
No!!!!! That's OVP's favorite interview man, Ken Resnick!!!!!
British wrestling TH-cam is such a weird fucking space.
Who did Sunny not mess with? 🤦♂️
Hogan sucks
God I Hated Sunny Ever Since I Was A Kid I Believe In Karma And Sunny Got What She Deserved.
She should have been in prison years ago and the justice system allowed her to kill a mam before she finally got prison time
I feel like this could be a 6+ part series
I wouldn't call all of these people "heels." A true wrestling heel not only takes pleasure in committing evil deeds, but also never learns the error of their ways. Most of the people on this list were punished, came to bad ends, or repented.
Have you guys done a video of heels who are faces outside of the ring?
Scary how similar Lex Luger looks to Benoit in that photo at 6:34
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jerry Lawler.
In fairness, when you think about Jerry "The King" Lawler, the word "babyface" doesn't immediately come to mind.
Unless you live in Memphis.
There's That Accusation. Also I think he could have stopped Brian from offing himself.
Surprised Stone Cold didn't make this list.
Seriously.
The Rock. Trying to insert him into the title picture over Cody
Dude, that is kid stuff compared to what many other people have done over the years. That is nothing compared to what people like Ultimate Warrior and Hogan have done. And even they are nowhere near the worst.
Man the wall hits hard!
I know you said these are in no particular order, however I think you can safely list Chris Benoit at #1 and then the rest can be up for debate.
