WWE Superstars That Need To Stay As Heels

Night of Champions is finished, Triple H is still the WWE’s “COO,” The Miz and R-Truth continues to complain about the conspiracy plots that WWE has against them, and Alberto del Rio, for the very first time in his overrated career, taps to John Cena’s unconvincing submission hold STFU. I’m starting to love the WWE now – the Cena Sucks chants are growing by the numbers and CM Punk is getting the right push that he deserves after being screwed over the WWE Championship.

What’s more fascinating is how WWE is playing its cards right; some of the company’s heels are actually doing a better job of representing their villainous traits that I am dedicating this post to WWE’s sinister competitors based on their performance over the past couple of months. Here’s my top five picks:

5. Cody Rhodes – Forget Dashing Cody Rhodes! The disfigured, face mask wearing seed of the Rhodes family is currently enjoying his best years as a WWE superstar. I actually appreciate what Cody Rhodes brings every night to Friday Night Smackdown. His deranged character plus the fact that he likes to amplify his ego by forcing the audience to wear brown grocery bags is a hilarious gig, which I find fresh and entertaining. Rhodes started his road as a heel after betraying Hardcore Holly and from that point on, after being part of Randy Orton’s group of wrestlers that inherited the prestigious lineage of their family’s respected wrestling career, The Legacy, Rhodes clearly has his name reserved as this era’s most engaging heel.

4. Mark Henry – Finally after winning the World Heavyweight Championship against the squared circle’s punter Rand Orton, Mark Henry has intensified his then muddled career with a title reign, which I think will last for a very long time. From Sexual Chocolate to the guy that attracts a lot of attention during over-the-top battle royal matches, Mark has finally hooked the big one against WWE’s charismatic, equally entertaining Apex Predator. Cole even went far of saying that “the world is about to witness the most destructive title reigns in the history of the World Heavyweight Championship.” Additionally, what me made cheer for Henry is the fact that he won the title without hitting Orton with a steel chair or exposing the metal turnbuckle to “lacerate” the unpredictable Viper. Henry bulldozed Orton with splashes, hard blows, and finally, two World’s Strongest Slam to pick up the pin fall victory. Who will be inducted next on the Hall of Pain? My money’s on Sheamus!

3. Dolph Ziggler – Ziggler needs to stay a heel amidst the speculations that either him or Jack Swagger would turn out face because of the ongoing feud for Vickie Guerrero’s managerial attention. After being underutilized as Kerwin White’s (translation: Chavo Guerrero) caddie and as an annoying member of the Spirit Squad, Ziggler has blossomed as a hated narcissist based on his I am Perfection character. Athletic and arrogant, Ziggler has what it takes to become the next Curt “Mr. Perfect” Hennig if he can stay loathed by the WWE Universe for as long as he can.

2. Christian – He keeps asking for One More Match and I think his role as the self-centered challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship suits him just fine. A few more verbal confrontations with Edge should do the trick, though I’m not so certain if he’s going to compete for a World Heavyweight title match anytime soon. There is also a large possibility that he will feud with the Celtic Warrior after being hit with the Brogue Kick.

1. The Miz & R-Truth – The estranged duo of The Miz and R-Truth is simply entertaining. They come out of the ring armed with the “You Suck, You Suck” chants directed at the city they are performing at and with R-Truth’s average rapping skills and The Miz’s growing tantrums against the conspiracies cooked by the WWE, this tag team will be remembered as one of the greatest verbal renegades ever to set foot in a WWE ring.

Bonus:
John Laurinaitis -John Laurinaitis suddenly emerged as a villain capable of stretching the storyline behind Triple H and CM Punk and Kevin Nash to the extreme. WWE needs another corporate antagonist that will orchestrate chaos behind the curtains. John’s garish, coarse voice also adds up to his role as the sneaky, manipulative Executive Vice President of Talent Relations of the WWE.
