• Jim Ross Reveals His List Of Great Heels Of Different Eras

During a recent edition of The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross discussed giving King Kong Bundy his five-count gimmick, his list of best villains and more.

Below are the highlights:

On giving King Kong Bundy his five-count gimmick:

“I gave Bundy that five-count deal, his gimmick. [Bill] Watts was going to bring him in and wants to do something different. I said, ‘why don’t you have him where he’s so powerful, he’s so strong, he’s so confident, he’s so huge, that he’ll beat people with a five-count, not a three-count? He’s really going to put them away.’ So the five, he’d do the five. Watts liked that idea and I think it worked. I think King Kong Bundy still uses that to this day when you see him in the ring from time-to-time.”

On his list of best villains of Attitude Era and other eras:

“I think the best villain of ‘The Attitude Era’ was Vince McMahon. Mr. McMahon was an a$$-kicker. He was absolutely amazing. Ric Flair. How do you leave Ric Flair off of any list of any villains? My God! Triple H, hell of a villain. JBL did a hell of a job. John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield made it easy for the fans to dislike him. He could conjure up that personality, that big, loudmouth, Dick Murdoch-like Texan, and draw money.

Johnny did a good job with that for us. Eric Bischoff, a hell of a heel. No doubt about that. I think Chris Jericho doing great as a heel. And I worked firsthand with some great heels myself. Jerry Lawler, Paul Heyman, Terry Funk, Bobby ‘The Brain’ [Heenan]. So those are some of the guys that I look at that have to be on that list.”
