Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Heels of all time

05. Freddie Blassie

“Classy” Freddie Blassie is the quintessential example of an old-school heel. Before the days of the Internet when everyone was in on the secrets of pro wrestling, people HATED this guy. Blassie was so committed to his villainous persona that he used to sharpen his teeth just to scare the bejesus of Japanese fans.

He cheated during matches when the referee wasn’t looking to ensure the victory. Fans would get so incensed that they would throws trash at him in the ring and even vandalize his car. A few extreme fans even stabbed him. Let me repeat that for you. People hated this character so much that they put a knife into his body.
