Old school heels
What I liked about old school heels was that the best ones enjoyed being evil. Enjoyed watching Killer Karl Cox repeatedly bite away at his opponents forehead until it was a bloody mess or a wrestler concealing a foreign object as the fans screamed at the ref. You knew he was going to use it and it was only a matter of when. I also enjoyed the idea that the heel enjoyed being sadistic and brutal that his opponent was unaware of the evil he was about to be subjected to. Those cheating heels that would brutalize an opponent long past what was required to pin him and focused on using dirty tactics more often than holds. Far more interested in working him over than winning. Those are the heels that got me going and made me a fan of wrestling forever

20.2.2018 02:58Exactly! Better still is when the ref or doc insist the match be stopped, but the heel keeps working over the jobber way past the ring of the bell. Then, just when you think the heel has had enough, they carry the poor broken jobber out on a stretcher, soaked in his own blood. Then the heel attacks AGAIN!!!

Gee, what about us jobbers who could only dream of being in the ring with those heels?
