The Rock was a bad guy for a time, but I never got the feeling that he was very effective as a bad guy. People wanted to cheer him. It's the same with Stone Cold. A great "bad guy" makes people want to boo them out of the arena. It's hard to put together a list such as this because so many wrestlers switched from being faces to being heels in their career. However, I'll make an attempt at a list...
10) Shawn Michaels
9) Nikolai Volkoff
8) Jake "The Snake" Roberts
7) Rowdy Roddy Piper
6) The Iron Sheik
5) Ric Flair
4) Ted Dibiase
3) Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig
2) Terry Funk
1) Undertaker

If we're expanding the list to include managers, you would be correct. I would also include Mr. Fuji, Paul Bearer, Classy Freddie Blassie, Oliver Humperdinck (who was a better bad guy than his "client" Bam Bam Bigelow), J.J. Dillon, Eric Bischoff, Paul E. Dangerously, Jim Cornette and Jimmy Hart. There were some great "bad guy" managers in wrestling history...

That's right, he did. I've never seen any tapes on Heenan as a wrestler to judge if he was a "good bad guy". I'll look around later on...

It's pretty amazing that Hulk Hogan is arguably the top good time of all time and in the late 90s became one of the top bad guys as well.
I'll just throw out some of my top bad guys in no particular order.

Some old vids of Heenan when he was known as Pretty Boy Bobby Heenan. I have some old tapes of him in the AWA and just like these vids he doesn't wrestle that much during the matches. As a manager he is great but as a wrestler not that good.

Any list that DOESN'T include HHH ain't even worth considering, in my opinion. He's the 2nd best heel in the biz for 30 years, second only to the Nature Boy. Rowdy Roddy Piper gets honorable mention as well. I also have to give it up for a "part-time" wrestler. Mr. McMahon gets some serious heel heat, and that's what it's all about.
The Rock was a bad guy for a time, but I never got the feeling that he was very effective as a bad guy. People wanted to cheer him. It's the same with Stone Cold. A great "bad guy" makes people want to boo them out of the arena. It's hard to put together a list such as this because so many wrestlers switched from being faces to being heels in their career.

3) Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig

Man I don't know...
Just my favorites list:
1. Ric Flair
2. Roddy Piper
3. Randy Savage
4. Ted Dibiase
5. HHH
6. Hollywood Hogan
7. Mr. Perfect
8. Jesse Ventura
9. Rick Rude (ONLY GUY TO EVER CLEANLY PIN ULTIMATE WARRIOR that i've seen!)
10.Kurt Angle (damn good in his time in the WWE.)

Those are all good choices. I can't believe that HHH didn't immediately come to mind. I could probably put a Top 50 list together and still miss some great bad guys throughout the years...

I thought the same thing when HHH was mentioned. A lot of us have just picked guys that were in the WWF/E and WCW/NWA. I'm sure we can think of some from the likes of the AWA, USWA, and so on.

Any list that does not include "Ravishing" Rick Rude in the top 3 is worthless.
"What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, lazy, out of shape, Alabama sweat hogs to have a seat while I show the ladies what a real man is supposed to look like! Hit the music!"
Putting Jake Robert's wife on the back of his trunks was a classic Ha!

Yeah..Forgot about the Ravishing one myself..That's a great pick I missed. He was a great wrestler AND cut some of the best mic work as well..the complete package.

Nice job, chadta. THAT'S the definition of a bad guy. Wrestlers who were "cool" as bad guys shouldn't be considered. That eliminates most of the main players in the NWO...

I was actually reading an interview with Eric Bischoff a few weeks ago and he made a good point. He said these days bad guys don't know how to be bad guys. I don't watch that much wrestling these days but he said to look at HHH for example, right now he is a good guy but still uses a sledgehammer and does the same exact stuff as he did when he was bad so there is no difference in him being good and him being bad.
I think it's a valid point on that there are no real real bad guys in wrestling anymore like there used to be.
