William Regal Says He's Not Happy With WWE Top 50 Villains List

He feels "kicked in the teeth"…

- William Regal posted the following in regard to the Top 50 All-Time Wrestling Villains list that WWE.com posted up today:

I'm usually immune to such things but I feel completely kicked in the teeth by whoever wrote that list that I'm not even on it.

William Regal isn't the only wrestler speaking out about WWE's new list of top 50 villains in pro wrestling history. Former WWE Champion JBL has a new blog up about the listing. He wrote:

"I have to say the top 50 greatest heel list by WWE is pretty far off. Forget JBL, I'm too biased to comment on myself, after all who else has had to have a police escort out of a town like I had in El Paso in 2004? That is real heat-and has any heel had any heat like that where folks were actually wanting to kill you since then, but I digress.

The biggest problem I have is with Gorgeous George being #9. I believe he was the greatest heel of all time, he inspired Muhammad Ali and James Brown-this was the guy who set the bar.

Nothing against my pal Hot Rod, I think Roddy was greatest heel of modern era. It is hard to compare eras, so how do you compare Hot Rod to the 'Toast of the Coast' The "Sensation of the Nation" the 'Gorgeous One'. It's impossible. So any list is arbitrary.

However, putting Gorgeous George #9 is insane. The 4 Horsemen were the greatest faction of all time, you have to have them at the top. There are so many great heels, omitting Bruiser Brody though? Really? Or Stan Hansen? Or William Regal?

Hollywood Hulk Hogan? Give me a break. Hogan was in the top 3 of biggest draws of all time, perhaps the biggest-depends on how you define the Stone Cold era. However, a heel? He wasnt a real heel he was a character. Greatest storyline of all time was the NWO and biggest match of all time was him versus Andre (that was ALL him, and he should get credit for that), but he was never a proper heel-he was still the Hulk, big difference.

Only two heels in the last 20 years needed police escorts out of towns, me and Sgt Slaughter. No one else.

Before that there were many. Hot Rod had heat like a nuclear bomb, he could be greatest heel ever-if the Gorgeous One isn't and that is a close race.

In the 70s and 80s there were great heels and too many to mention here. Dick Murdoch, my first tag partner, was one of best heels of all time. To put some of these guys on the list and not Captain Redneck? Come on!

Any list is hard to justify, but I gotta say while this one has most of the top 50 in place I would argue the placing itself."

I love how these lists are alwaus total b.s. and pretty much everyone agrees. Anyway, Randy Orton being on there at all is frakkin hilarious.

Edge and Jericho listed ahead of Freddie Blassie? The same Freddie Blassie who caused people in Japan to have heart attacks, had acid poured on him in LA, and suffered loss of vision in one eye after a fan threw something and hit him in the eye?

I'm not singling those guys out because they're "new" or whatever, I just don't see them as all time great heels. Until his most recent runs, Jericho still did his catchphrases and stuff that he did when he was a face. I was never impressed with Edge because I just never found him believable.

To prove it's not just me dumping on the newer guys, I love Sherri Martel, but do I think she was a better heel than a lot of those names after hers? No. I don't think Moolah should be on there at all. I'm not familiar enough with Muraco's heel work to make a call, but I was kind of surprised to see him on there.

Of course, anything like this is just opinion (both the original list and my observations.) It's fun to look at and discuss, but ultimately doesn't mean much. I have to say, though, I'm surprised that Buddy Rogers isn't even listed.

Gotta agree with Playboy... Its hard to compare true "heels" from the old era, with heels from the sports entertainment era. Heat was totally different.,

The Original Sheik, Iron Sheik and Kevin Sullivan would also have to be WAY higher.

I thought the same thing about Blassie. The guy got banned from Japanese television because he was to damn scary.

I'm glad to see Ernie Ladd on the list though. The Big Cat was an equal opportunity offender.
