Bobby Heenan was what I thought before I even saw the choices. So him.

The poll should begin and end with the "Hot Rod". Roddy Piper is the poster boy (and many would say, the prototype) for that type of heel. He had the talk show, where he would razz all the good guys and kiss the butts of all the other heels. He had "the Ace"; "Cowboy" Bob Orton in his corner.
Piper would finally have to wrestle a match, and he'd spend a lot of time stalling, begging off, hide through the ring ropes, and rarely won clean. Lots of sneaky eye gouges from this man. I know I'm not THAT old to remember when Piper was the biggest jerk in the world, mainly because he never wanted to face a man one-on-one.
Every heel in this style from that point on were in the Roddy Piper version.

Always thought Freebird Michael Hayes was pretty great at this. Yeah, I forgot about him. I remember that War Games where he didn't want to get in the cage. ;D I think what he and, say, HTM have in common is that they weren't great workers. The cowardice is also a way of masking their lack of ability. I guess that would go for Lawler in 93/4 too. This is one of the reasons why the likes of Flair and DiBiase were never PROPER chickens*** heels. And why it's hard to depict Angle as one. Also, do you think Vince counts?

Seems to me Flair (isn't part of his schtick the last 30 years been begging someone off when he is getting his ass kicked?) And WCW Jericho (conspiracy victim, etc.) were the best wrestler. If you're talking about all around performer then you have to give it to Heenan who would run, hide behind others and scream like he was a little girl. Think Heenan running from the Matilda the bulldog or running in the ring and stealing the.money from Andre after the body slam competition. There are at least 100 clips on YT of Heenan being a chicken shit heel. Awesome stuff.
