6 of WWE's best heels from each era

WWE's main bad guy over the years has changed several times.
WWE has had its fair share of talented bad guys over the years.

#1 The Reality/New Era (2014-present): The Miz

If the word heel was in the dictionary, The Miz would be the only current WWE Superstar who could lay claim to having his picture put beside the word, and that is a huge compliment to him. The Miz always had the WWE Universe in the palm of his hand.

I have always thought The Miz was great, even during his much criticised 2010-2011 WWE Championship reign, because man, could he rub fans up the wrong way.

However, it is only now that fans really appreciate the guy's genius, and that is because ever since Maryse, his real-life wife, returned to the company in April 2016, The Miz has stepped it up a lot, and she has added a much-needed different dimension to his cowardly heel ways.

The real turning point though, was when in August of last year when he cut the promo of a lifetime following a heated exchange with current SmackDown Live GM Daniel Bryan. The Miz was finally getting the attention he deserved, and so was the IC Title. The "A-Lister" has since continued to mock Bryan repeatedly for the fact that he is not medically cleared to wrestle, which straight away gets fans on The Miz's back.

In the last year, The Miz has made the Intercontinental Title the most prestigious it has been in the last 17 years, and he has done that by bringing emotion, intensity and passion to every feud and match he is in. The Miz knows how to get the fans hate him better than anyone else, and he is very good at making his opponents look world-class.

The Miz has brought the best out of Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, John Cena, Jason Jordan and many other Superstars, on the mic and in the ring.

The Miz has now added more to his jetpack, with the duo of Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas now by his side as The Miztourage. The way he uses them to keep his IC Title is definitely AWESOME, and it annoys fans so much, which is what a hell like him is supposed to do. Because The Miz can't win by himself, but with help, no one has managed to beat him for the title. This works up the fans as they want to see someone avenge The Miz's cheating ways.

The Miz will continue to be the top heel of our generation for years to follow, and make many babyfaces become crowd favourites in the prospect. The "A-Lister" is definitely a bad guy of Hollywood level, and I think he will become the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
