New AEW star Miro has called Randy Orton the greatest heel in professional wrestling history.

'The Best Man' made the claim in a new video uploaded through his various social media platforms yesterday, saying that WWE's 'Viper' is "clearly the best heel and one of the best workers of all time."

The former Rusev also mentioned Ric Flair as one of his favourite pro-wrestling villains, saying that 'The Nature Boy' always hooked him in was he was younger, though he was never able to figure out why Flair, who looked "50 years old," was always able to hook his opponents into falling for his dirty tactics.

Answer? The magic of wrestling.

Flair is the person many would point to (often without second thought) when considering wrestling's greatest heels, along with the likes of 'Classy' Freddie Blassie, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, Hollywood Hogan, Rick Rude, and others. Does Orton belong in the conversation? That's in the eye of the beholder, though one could form a strong case based on longevity alone, with 'The Legend Killer' now 21 years into his run.

Miro debuted on last night's AEW Dynamite, making his wrestling comeback as Kip Sabian's best man.
