9) Shawn Michaels
While Shawn Michaels made for a great babyface at his seasoned age, many forget how great of a heel he was earlier on in his career. They also don’t realize that he wasn’t all that effective as a babyface, particularly in the mid ’90s. Sure, he was still without question the greatest performer in the business, but his prima donna character (real or kayfabe) didn’t really mesh well with the male portion of the audience. He was a far better heel, as demonstrated when he first turned on Marty Janetty and then again with DX in the stable’s early stages, which ran from the summer of 1997 right up until WrestleMania XIV where he put Stone Cold over.
His brief heel turn in 2005 as part of his feud with Hulk Hogan was a stark reminder of how great the Heartbreak Kid was as a villain. The promo he cut on the Montreal crowd shown here shows you just how easily he can wrap a crowd around his finger.
