10 Best Heels In WWE Today
1. Chris Jericho
When the history of pro wrestling is written, there won't be too many heels who will have greater legacies than Chris Jericho. In 2016, fans are lucky enough to see the most recent phase of his evolution.
The "Lionheart" of the late '90s - the ultra-obnoxious, flamboyant, "conspiracy victim" of WCW's cruiserweight division - was decades ahead of his time, the Gorgeous George of the Attitude Era. The Nick-Bockwinkel-meets-Anton-Chigurh Jericho of a decade later was simultaneously a throwback and a glimpse of the future, providing fans with another revelation.
This year, Jericho reinvented himself once again, showing up fans who thought that he was too much of a respected legend to mount a successful heel run. Now, he's a post-modern villain for the Internet age, trolling fans and opponents with a goofy demeanor that's always delivered in a dead-serious fashion. It's almost an inversion of his World Heavyweight Champion character - he's still monotone and subdued, but he radiates the aura of a complete fool.
The fact that Chris Jericho will be 46 in November suggests that his days in the ring may numbered - and even when he does wrestle, it's usually part-time so he can devote energy to his band, Fozzy. Nevertheless, he's still the best in the world at what he does, so let's drink in the gift of Jericho for as long as we can.
