Great heels in wrestling are presented in a variety of ways. Usually they're portrayed as cons, cheats, bullies, cowards, or sometimes even terrifying monsters.

Their actions can be as simple as holding their opponents’ tights for leverage to secure a pinfall, all the way to pre-meditated first degree murder. While homicide is generally frowned upon in most wrestling companies around the world, in Lucha Underground it’s surprisingly commonplace. It's likely the absolute worst place to enter the business as a rookie wrestler.

The Temple has been filled with a variety of great heels over their two seasons in existence. It's a wrestling show that plays by its own rules, delivering characters and situations that are a far cry from any other promotion on the planet. Besides their villains being capable of ending someone else's life, they’re also prone to delivering extreme forms of violence and the occasional kidnapping. It's delightful to watch!

Some of the best bad guys and girls in the business are currently in Lucha Underground. Despite only delivering 65 episodes thus far, they’ve already made a big impression on the wrestling world.

Here are the 10 best heels who call The Temple home.

Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
