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