My top 5 heel WWE champs of all time:
(Not best heel, not best champ who at some other point was a top heel...I mean the best wearers of the belt as a heel. The best elicited fear and/or loathing.)
>Triple H
>Shawn Michaels
>Stone Cold
>Brock Lesnar
>JBL (an exception. he makes the list for the pure troll factor)
My top 5 face WWE champs of all time:
(Again, not the best face, not the best champ who at other points was a top face...I mean the belt-wearing crowd favs. The best elicited adoration, and had underdog and/or superhero elements.
>Hulk Hogan
>Stone Cold (an exception. was an anti-hero rather than a superhero. but still an underdog because he was always outnumbered.)
>The Rock
>Randy Savage
>Bret Hart
Thus, IMO, Stone Cold is the greatest WWE champion of all time because he's the only one to make both lists.
What are your top 5 lists? And can you deduce a single GOAT from them?
(Remember, your overall GOAT wearer of the belt, not GOAT wrestler or GOAT superstar.)

I like JBL cause there was a cow mooing in his theme
good picks

Lol true.
But, he was still intense and vicious in the ring. You really couldn't see him losing the belt to anyone in that run.
(They only gave it to Angle briefly to give people a feelgood moment to cope with 9/11. It was never in the original plan.)

yes 2001 was his best year as a worker in WWF probably. his best match was in 1997 but he was putting on great matches with benoit/angle/whoever else weekly in 2001. but after hhh got injured he was more of a comedy heel

I agree. But it really takes a goat to be able to pull off something like that. To be the chief villain but also add in self-deprecating comedy, to be able to be both at the same time. Only 2 others have been able to do something similar. Vince and The Rock (2003).
Also, setting the belt aside, I think Stone Cold was overall better as a heel than a face. Like you said in 1997 he put on great matches, could hang with the likes of Bret Hart and HBK. And in 2001 he put on good matches with Benoit, Jericho, Angle. Suplexes, submissions, good stuff. But 1998-99 he was so shit in the ring. Maybe it was directed from above, maybe the storyline at the time was so good no one cared abotu the actual matches, maybe he just had bad in-ring chemistery with his oponents (Mankind, Rock, Undertaker, Kane), but those matches were total snoozefests. Just shitty punches, brawling for 15-20 minutes.

Hogan was a master of acting like a chickenshit but I guess you're only talking about WWF/E. It was funny as fuck seeing Hulk Hogan getting scared of everyone and running away as a heel in WCW
