10 Best Pure Heels In Wrestling Today

6. Braun Strowman

This is where things will probably start to get a bit controversial.

How could Strowman make this list and not someone like (spoiler), Bray Wyatt? Because while Wyatt may be a great talker, he doesn’t produce a lot of heat. His promos are more baffling than anger inducing, and his entrance is a crowd favorite, one they enjoy being a part of.

Strowman, meanwhile, is just your typical, remorseless monster. He comes out, he squashes someone, and then repeats the process the next week. He’s a terrifying force for the smaller wrestlers to face, and really isn’t that terrible in the ring. Is he good? No. But he’s leagues ahead of former WWE giants like Giant Gonzalez, Nathan Jones, The Great Khali, Kurgan and Silva.

Hopefully WWE doesn’t give up on him and turn him into a comedy act like they often do with their big guys when they don’t catch on as soon as they hoped for. If they continue to protect him, then it will actually mean something when someone slays the evil giant.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." 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
