Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Heels of all time

07. Jerry Lawler

Long before becoming J.R’s silly sidekick on WWE broadcasts “The King” was one of the top heels in Professional Wrestling.

A legend in the mid-south and a near-god in his hometown of Memphis, for over twenty years there was nobody in that territory fans loved to hate more than Jerry Lawler.

Fans always had a love-hate relationship with Lawler who they both booed and respected for his underrated ability in the ring, his mic skills, and the fact that he could sell the heel role better than anybody.

Of course there was his famous worked feud with comic Andy Kauffman, in which Lawler got his first national exposure as one of the greatest bad guys in the business.
