12 Greatest Heel WWE Champions of All Time

8. Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle; this is a name that pure wrestling fans idolise and adore, in my humble opinion the greatest €œwrestler€ the industry has ever seen. Angle knew how good he was (and still is) and that€™s why we disliked him. An Olympic Gold medallist originally intended to be brought into the WWE as a national hero was swiftly turned heel due to the magnitude of his smugness. Angle won the WWF Championship in October 2000, defeating the Rock with some unintended help from Rikishi. Following this he would defend his championship successfully against the Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Rikishi and the Undertaker, both individually and against all in a 6-man Hell in a Cell Match. One could justify his inclusion on this list with just that evidence. But, the real thing that made Angle dislikeable was the fact that he knew all these victories were special, and would shove each and every accomplishment he€™d ever had down the throats of the audience. He thought that he was better than everybody else, and would do anything to prove it. That, above all else, is why he merits a place on this list, oh it€™s true.
