Wrestlezone’s Top Ten: Best Heels in Wrestling

Number 8: Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes has faced many popular faces and has gotten them over even more. Last year, he feuded with Rey Mysterio and ultimately became a guy everyone hated. He wore a mask to cover his “disfigured” face. He went very dark, and then put paper bags over the fans’ heads. Cody has been able to become a solid heel in any way that was needed. Many feared that he would lose the crowd’s hatred when the mask came off. He thrived even more and became real to the fans. The look, the arrogance, and the great talent in the ring has given Rhodes’ the best chance to succeed at a higher level. Rhodes and Christian are in the middle of a feud, which both men need. Rhodes needed a veteran presence, while Christian needed to lean on a heel for his return. Cody will be in the World Championship picture sooner than later, but he is doing a stellar job bringing relevance back to the Intercontinental Championship. Well done for WWE and Cody to invest the time.
