The first heel you liked
 

First off, sorry if this thread has been done already.


So I was thinking about the year 1990. Hulkamania was in full swing, and it was still real to me, damnit. I felt pretty bad in the summer of 1990, when Earthquake was going to wrestle Hulk Hogan. Here we have this icon in the industry, the guy everyone loves, The Hulkster, wrestling this huge monster of a man called Earthquake.... Albeit I was a little Hulkamanaic, I wanted Earthquake to win.
This was a man everyone was booing. That meant he was mean, horrible, and was a nazi. He was going to get in the ring with a man who everyone loves! Why did I like the bad guy!??!?!?

To this day I don't know why I was cheering for the bad guy. All I know is I liked Earthquake more than Hogan.
To this day, that remains the same.

So who was the first heel you liked?
Looking for all the people who still remember when they thought it was real... I think we'd get better answers that way.

Macho Man since I wasn't exposed to the NWA until 87-88.

Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

Hogan.

Mr Perfect.

:y:

I love that evil laugh. :D

HBK

The Undertaker and Jake Roberts.

hmm, probably Pillman around 95. I don't think I cheered for Doink (Matt Bourne) or Jake Roberts, but it would of been one of them if I had.

Probably Ministry Undertaker, or Kane.

probably money inc, hart foundation (they were heels) andre the giant, mr perfect, piper.

Mr Perfect
Rick Rude
Rougeaus

I liked a lot of heels tbh.

Ric Flair WHOOOO WWF

Piper

I always like Micheals and Undertaker no matter what.

Snaps.

Without a doubt Mr Perfect

has to be piper back in the rock and wrestling fued

Ric Flair.

The Mountie

I don't remember much about him, but he was canadian so he must have been a heel

Flair or Savage.

same here.

IRS

I just loved how he'd come off the top rope, the face you raise his boot trying to connect with his face, then he'd stop, spin round and drop an elbow, that was the first time I watched a heel and just went all 'woah!' that was pretty cool

Roddy Piper. Always rooted for him over anyone. I'm happy to note Hogan couldnt go over him clean.

The Freebirds.

Unfortunately, it was the shitty version with Jimmy Garvin...

But hey, no one could talk shit like Micheal Hayes. And I mean NO ONE!

Others that came to mind is anyone feuding with Sting, who I hated, "Lone Wolf" era Barry Windham (Who I considered the Ultimate Bad Guy. Trips took notes, I swear.), and I respected two guys right off the bat seeing them: Steve Austin and Scotty Flamingo (Raven.)

Rick Rude

Million Dollar Man
IRS

... This is... Money Inc.

The idea was just so brilliant that you HAD to love it.

Roddy Piper.

Owen Hart. I like how he stood up to his brother. Not like I had a brother I could relate that to or anything, but you could just feel his frustration.

British Bull...ahh wait, bollocks.

I'll go for Rick Martel, oh yes I will. What a guy.

I didn't get into wrestling till 98, so Chris Jericho. This was when I was still somewhat markish and just cheering the people I knew from teleivision, but there was something about Jericho (even as a heel) that just made me cheer him.

1004 Holds B)

Heel cruiserweight Jericho is hands down my favorite character of all time. Loopholes, conspiracy victim, Ralphus, name screw ups, bitch fits.....everything was just so fucking hilarious about that guy.

CUT THE MUSIC!

"What I like to have right now, is for all you fat, ugly, out-of-shape Atlantic city low-lifes, to keep the noise down while I take my robe off, and so the ladies can see, my simply ravishing body."

HIT THE MUSIC!

Edge & Christian

ahh, pipers pit. classic

And Jericho was prolly the guy that made me appreciate heels more than babyfaces.
