Hollywood Rock is one of my favorites. His promo against Hogan before No Way Out where he fakes out Hogan with the handshake and spits in his face was incredible. The Rock Show was also way more entertaining than anything Cena has ever done in his career. I wish he had stayed around in that character awhile longer to put over some more up and comers. As it was, Hurricane and Booker T both got a rub off him, as well as Austin, Goldberg and Hogan.
I loved heel Rhino in ECW. He was just so believably intense and scary and fierce and he was booked so strongly. |

I don't know if I should count Henning* or not. Most of his WWE tenure, he was supposed to be the quintessential heel, and yet he was one of my favorite wrestlers ever in spite of that. And I always HATED Piper, because after his promos, i'd always be like "MAN, FUCK THAT GUY!" that resonated beyond suspension of disbelief with me, but that's more promo skill than anything he did in particular in heel runs. |

One that I feel is kinda overlooked is Takers Big Evil run he was just a bastard during that time period.

I completely agree with this. Bossman's heeldom in 99' (i.e. Al Snow/Pepper, Big Show/Daddy) was also awesome. Orton's heel run pre Summerslam 2004 was also a beaut, as was Orton's heel run pre Wrestlemania 25. Ironically enough, I believe it was losses to Triple H in both instances that ultimately prevented Orton from really taking that "next level." I was a huge fan of Santino Marella's IC heel run from back in the day. Still have no idea as to why the WWE screwed him up so terribly after that. The guy was way over, and they turned him into a comedic jobber. D'Lo Brown's heeldom in 1998 was also great in my opinion. D'Lo was getting MASSIVE heat from the fans, and the fans really dug his character. I think D'Lo Brown could have been a huge star, but the WWE soured on him after the Droz incident (and also when D'Lo apparently openly talked about jumping ship to WCW backstage). Owen Hart's heeldom in 1998 was also awesome. Everything from his feud with DX, Ken Shamrock, and then tagging with Jarret. Heel Owen was one of my favorite characters of all-time. |

A few in my book.
Austin's heel turn at Wrestlemania will always be my favourite moment in human history. Chris Jericho, and then CM Punk when he ruled Nexus. |

Some more nominations: Christian w/Tyson Tomko, Kurt Angle's initial heeldom in 1999/2000, Jericho's 'corporate' 2008 heel run, HBK heeldom during Hogan feud, and Hollywood Rock 2003.

I love the Heel HBK during the Hogan promo. His heel promo in Montreal is maybe my favorite promo ever.
Big fan of Edge's heel run when he used his money in the bank cash in on Cena. |
