JBL On Why Vince McMahon Was a Better Heel Than Roddy Piper

On the latest episode of Something to Wrestle, JBL played the Stay Silent Game on the greatest heel in wrestling history. Conrad Thompson started with Roddy Piper and read off names including Dominik Mysterio, The Miz, Rick Rude, Ted DiBiase, MJF, Triple H, Bobby Heenan, Ric Flair and Hollywood Hogan. JBL stayed quiet until he heard Vince McMahon. You can check out his comments below:

On McMahon Geing a Greater Heel Than Piper:

“Vince McMahon. Yes, Vince McMahon was a greater heel than Roddy Piper. They’re both great. You read off all these names of great people who are either in the Hall of Fame or are going to be in the Hall of Fame, and you’ve got that one here that I think was better than Roddy. Absolutely. Vince versus Stone Cold was one of the hottest angles in the history of the business. There may have been another angle or two that might have been hotter, but it’s in the top three for sure. Obviously, Steve was Stone Cold, but Vince, no doubt about it. The thing we got out of the Montreal Screwjob was evil Vince McMahon, and my God, man, what a gift that was.”

On the Greatest Heel Of All Time:

“All those guys, everyone you mentioned, are great heels. I think Vince and Roddy were the best. But I think the greatest heel of all time was Gorgeous George. I’d put Yusuf Ismail up there with him. He didn’t have that long a run, but he was the first xenophobic heel. He was the first one, so you have to put him up there. But Gorgeous George to me is the greatest heel. Freddie Blassie was a great heel. Bob Orton Sr., the grandfather of Randy Orton, was a great heel. There are a lot of great heels.”
