You know that feeling we all get when WWE is totally awesome?
That feeling of fun, nostalgia, the memories that made you a
lifelong fan.
Like the most awesome villains in WWE history.
From the notorious to the scandalous.
Legend killers.
And the dirtiest players.
These are the villains we love to hate, who bring us to our feet to chant in
unison, this is awesome.
Welcome to this.
This is awesome.
The only show that celebrates the most awesome everything.
Then, now, forever, and together.
I'm your host, Greg Miller, at GameOverGreggy on Instagram and thread.
today, we celebrate the most awesome villains in WWE history.
All stories revolve around one thing.
Conflict. Good versus evil. Right versus wrong. Dark versus light. And there's
no better catalyst for conflict.
than the villain of the WWE.
From the Boogeyman to Zeus, there have been no shortage of great bad guys in
WWE. And they're responsible for some of the most iconic moments in history.
What makes a good WWE villain?
Oh, gosh.
She's sick!
There's something seriously wrong with Charlotte.
I think there's a lot of things.
The way he carries himself.
People he hangs around.
Arrogance. Cockiness.
Keep the noise down while I take my robe off. The ability to tell the world how
good they are.
I have become a wrestling god.
I think it takes getting the people to really hate you.
You can do that as being a guy that cheats and lies.
You can be that guy that's just big and bad and ain't nothing you can do about
it. The really good villains are very creative.
Maybe you grab a weapon. Maybe you kick them low. Maybe you poke them in the
eye. When the fans go, I want to punch him in the face.
That, to me, makes a great film.
You better start paying your taxes!
See, to me, the word villain is an interesting word because for a lot of
it means bad guy.
Are you kidding?
Well, me, I don't think that at all. I think a villain is someone who's willing
to do whatever it takes to get where they want to go.
Stay in his house no more! It's mine!
Being a villain has been very hard.
Everyone thinks Rey Mysterio, yay, Rey.
But no, not anymore.
You think Mysterio, you think he yelled at his mom.
Shut up!
Slaps his dad.
Whatever.
I love being a bad guy. I can just push the envelope of people's emotions and
anger and frustration.
And there's nothing they can do about it.
What makes a great villain is someone that makes the audience feel.
Villain Big Boss Man is one of just the greatest characters to ever exist.
This is a guy.
who showed up to the big show's father's funeral in a police car with a
megaphone on the top of it.
He's not sick.
He's not suffering. He's dead as a doorknob. He tricked Al Snow into eating
his pet chihuahua, Pepper.
Try not to get one of them paws stuck in your teeth.
What's the matter, Al? You don't like Pepper? You don't like the way Pepper
tastes? That's a different level.
Sergeant Slaughter was the ultimate American hero and then turned his back.
Look at the Iron Sheik.
Hulk,
please do something about this.
When undetected, title to be.
He's breaking another human being.
So scary.
Bret Hart, when he said that if you were going to give the United States of
America an enema, you'd stick the holes right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
You know why?
Because you're the best.
There's something very artistic about being the villain.
It's a well -thought -out person who plays it the best. You listen to me, you
to the top. Do you find good guys to be interesting?
I don't.
I am absolutely perfect!
Mr.
Heyman does have a valid point. The villains are often way more complex, and
their motivation, fame, fortune, winning, what they are willing to do to
the top, make for a fascinating character study.
However, trying to analyze this next bad apple is an exercise in futility.
For over 20 years, no one has been able to figure out what motivates a man who
not only kills legends, but preys upon his opponents through brute force and
fear. He is the apex predator, the Viper, Randy Orton.
Being a bad guy kind of comes easy. It's like second nature for me.
I was just...
Born to do this. I was born to piss you off.
There's a way that I get into the zone.
And a lot of times, it meant pushing all the blood into my face
and... Come
on. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. And then I got it.
Then I can...
Just do what I need to do, and I can pull whatever emotion I need to pull out
the audience, because I feel it. And when you look into my eyes, you can tell
that I feel it.
No! Rain Gordon, he's the epitome of a villain.
Oh, my God!
He's remained unhinged since he was a wild 24 -year -old all the way to now as
veteran.
Randy Orton is the best villain.
I was a witness.
We believed he had poison in him.
Randy, his dad was such a great villain as Bob Owen.
Obviously that sort of bled through when Randy started here in the WWE.
When he came in, Randy was known as the legend killer.
Did I just hear somebody use the word legend? He made his name off all these
legends of the business. Randy Orton, legend killer.
make holy faith and, like, push him down the stairs.
You're just going after dudes that have been retired.
They'll make an occasional appearance, you know what I'm saying, had the
cheer for them, and boom, here comes Randy Orton.
There he is!
Another legend bites the dust!
You hated him. You loved to hate him.
You just wanted to see him get his butt kicked.
Man, who can stop this kid?
And then he just became this.
slithering viper apex predator randy orton they call him the viper for a
he slithers and moves like a snake orton is getting to that place that only
randy orton has the way he grits his teeth in his cheek the way he drops down
starts pounding his fist on the mat that slimy body language really encapsulates
a villain
Randy Orton seems possessed.
He made you feel like a serpent was entering the atmosphere and you didn't
who was going to strike. And everyone's kind of just... And when he strikes,
it's lethal.
Pun people in the face.
Hitting people with RKOs out of nowhere.
He had a screwdriver and he put it through Jeff Hardy's ear hole.
He handcuffed Triple H and kissed his wife in front of him.
That man, I hated.
Every time I see Randy Orton do something, I truly believe he meant it.
terrified of me.
His tone, form, presence, and speed still lives to this day.
He really is the greatest villain of all time.
the stuff of nightmares.
Randy seems to enjoy watching his opponents suffer and knows exactly how
on their weaknesses.
Sound familiar?
Well, that's because Randy, while in evolution, sat under the learning tree
the cerebral assassin Triple H. A man who is not only a student of the game,
is the f***ing game.
Methodical, cold, and calculating, there's not a vulnerability he won't
And as a result, have truly made him the king of king.
You guys talk about being students of the game.
I am the f***ing game, JR.
One of the all -time, if not the greatest villain of all time, Triple H.
There is nobody that eats, sleeps, or breathes this business more than me.
Are you ready to play the game?
A lot of people hate Triple H. A lot of people do.
It's all about the game.
I know you play it. It's all about the game.
I do remember Triple H being the first one that I was like, man, I hate this
guy. He's a villain because he's a bully.
He thinks that he's the best to ever do it.
I am the game, and I am that damn good.
The game with that damn sledgehammer. Oh, my God!
Jim Ross hated Triple H. Hated.
What kind of human being is he? You son of a bitch!
Why? What the hell is that?
I think you're a sorry, low -down S .O .B.
When I want to do it, and there is not a damn thing that anybody can do about
it. When we
first met Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he came out very posh, very Gaston, sable
his arm back in the day.
Very Grey Poupon, if you will.
Him and Joe Michaels being bad guys at DX was incredible.
The things that they would do to people and embarrass people, make the crowd
feel uncomfortable, make their opponents feel uncomfortable, and do it laughing.
They were enjoying torturing people.
Now that's a villain.
Evolution Triple H was a menace.
Today marks the beginning of a new era. The greatest example of evolution you
will ever see.
I've got the body.
I've got the ability.
I've got the talent.
And I've got the brains.
I mean, he is the cerebral assassin.
Cerebral assassin is a perfect way to distract your belief.
You can win by any means.
Mind game.
That's all it is.
Meticulous. He gets into your head, knows exactly what to say and do to get
he wants.
Stephanie, will you take country for your husband?
Oh, yes, I do.
I hate you.
He's one.
many a championship because of this mindset.
Triple H has never had any rules for what he will do to stay at the top and
that's why we love him.
He is always one step ahead of everyone in this game of life.
The game.
We are playing the game. Triple H is the game.
I loved it.
I am the best.
My God, there's just so many cool things. When you think of Triple H,
just like, what isn't cool about him, especially as the villain?
The greatest wrestler alive today.
Baby, I wrote the book on kicking ass.
Hunter is a wrestling empire all to himself.
Now you know, you dumb son of a bitch.
When it comes to playing the game, why play by the rules when the ruthless reap
the rewards?
Which defines our next villain, one of the most greedy, conniving,
of all time, the ruler of the WWE universe, Mr.
McMahon, who turned the sports entertainment conglomerate into a global
The czar of WWE ruled with an iron fist, and if you crossed the box, you'd
have... No chain.
Are you a sick, power -hungry freak?
No.
No chain!
Mr. McMahon may be the greatest villain on screen in the history of WWE.
Wow, you talk about controversy.
I truly believe that Bret Hart screwed Bret Hart.
I wouldn't even say Vince is a villain. I would say Vince is a supervillain.
He single -handedly made everything about being a bad guy amplified.
Hi, Vince and Trinity McMahon.
I feel untouchable.
Everything about the Mr. McMahon character was turned up to a level.
You look at the way he walked.
But it is the chairman of the WWE, Mr. McMahon.
The stretch limo, his muscles, everything about
him was bigger and stronger and louder and better.
If anyone can appreciate what American success story truly is, that would be
Vincent Kennedy McMahon, because I'm a living, breathing American success
What made Mr. McMahon so detestable was not just the fact.
that he had all the power, but that he would use it. What's the sense of having
power if you can't abuse it every now and then? You know what I'm saying?
He would enter a Royal Rumble match just to screw over Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
No!
Mr. McMahon has eliminated the Rattlesnake!
It'd be like if the Yankees were in the World Series and George Steinbrenner
insisted on getting the last at -bat for himself.
Who does that?
Let me remind you of who I am.
He had control of the company and he wanted to make sure that everyone knew
and he wasn't going to let anyone stand in his way. Even if it was his biggest
staff, don't call Steve Austin.
He wanted things to go his way and Vince McMahon was willing to do whatever it
takes and it was beautiful to watch.
I will fire your ass.
I don't think I've ever seen a gleam in a man's eye more than I have when Vince
McMahon would tell someone they were fired.
Here's a guy that portrayed himself as God at one point. You don't get much
villainous than that.
There's no
one you would want to work for less than a guy who treated you like garbage. And
at the end of the day, if he was really displeased with your work, would make
you literally kiss his ass.
A damn fool is someone who doesn't pucker up and kiss the boss's ass.
Could there be a worse boss?
God damn it, kiss my ass!
The Vince McMahon kiss my ass club might be the most villainous thing in WWE
history. Look at McMahon!
Because not only is he humiliating you, but he's doing it in front of millions.
Life sucks, and then you die!
What kind of villainous, evil father lays a hand on their own son?
Who does that?
Old man slapping his own son.
Mr. McMahon was able to play that ultimate villain, like, just on a
level. Must it be the name of Vincent Kennedy McMahon?
The Kiss My Ass Club, definitely one I would never, ever want to join.
Unless, of course, the price was right.
Money, money, money, I want money.
Before Mr.
McMahon's billion, there was Ted DiBiase's million.
The million -dollar man preached that everybody had a price and that
going to pay.
For he's the million -dollar man, and he always.
Get his way.
No matter how firm you are in your beliefs, the simple
fact is that in a capitalist society, everybody has a price.
How do you not hate a guy who is incredibly rich, incredibly tough,
terrible about yourself at every given opportunity.
That was the million dollar man.
I'm rich, you're poor, and that makes me better than each and every one of you.
It's okay to have money and be successful, but to shove it down
throats, that's a bit much.
You could very well choke on a hundred dollar bill. Come on, give me a break.
You've all got a price for the million dollar man too, and I'm going to prove
right here.
Right now, I'm going to give away $300 to somebody, some poor person.
He was using his power in his own way, which was money, to humiliate people
for his amusement. Give me 10 push -ups. Dribble this basketball 15 times.
Somebody who's going to take the time to bring a child onto stage in order to
embarrass them, that's not a good person.
10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Oops.
When you don't do the job right, you don't get paid.
I think the most despicable thing the Million Dollar Man ever did was purchase
the WWE Championship from Andre the Giant.
Ted was basically telling the world, I'm not good enough to win it on my own,
but I have enough money, so I'm going to be the champion anyway.
I can state that Ted DiBiase is also
not the World Wrestling Federation champion.
Disgusted by the decision of President Jack Tunney, DiBiase decided that if he
couldn't buy the title, he would just create one of his very own.
It's mine!
The most magnificent felt ever created.
That means more to me than anything else in the world.
Look up Million Dollar Man and anything that you see will probably be him doing
something that you're going to be like, oh, what is this jerk doing?
What would it take to make this a private pool right now?
All right, everybody out. I think we could find them another room, don't you?
Let's go, lovebirds. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Had the choice been ours, we would have
taken the money too.
What an iconic laugh. One of the great bad guys from my childhood.
But a bad guy who's redefined evil for four decades?
That infamous distinction goes to only one man. The man, the nature boy, Ric
Flair. A robe -wearing, trash -talking, low -blowing son of a gun! Ric Flair
became the 16 -time world champion by doing what he does best, being the
dirtiest player in the game.
The 80s was a time when a lot of rich people got really rich, and a lot of
people were very poor.
And Ric Flair was there to tell you he was one of the rich.
I spent more money on spilled food than you made in the last six months.
He was not like you or me. He was the nature boy Ric Flair, and he was better
than everybody.
When you're Ric Flair, when you're the world champion, when you're all the...
He had the bleach blonde hair, the physique, the clothes.
He was wearing clothes that were expensive by today's standard in the
All of it was so
obnoxious.
I think the bottom line of it
is we as people hate people who have nice things.
And I think that's why we hated Ric Flair, because Ric Flair had literally
everything. I dress myself in alligator shoes.
I wear a $15 ,000 Rolex.
My shoes cost more than your house. He was also a rock star.
Setting the world on fire. He was the first one into the bar. He was the last
one out of the bar. He was buying rounds for everybody at the bar. He was just
the most in all things. And that made people hate him.
Here I am.
Looking better than any man alive. The most gorgeous human being on the face of
this earth. The thing about Ric Flair that made him so hateable was he was the
alpha male ultimate example of what a man wants to be.
They all want to be like the nature boy.
But there can only be one.
Just watching Ric Flair, what he would do. Flair's got that point object in his
hand. Yes, he's cheating.
Yes, he's cheating.
He was literally the dirtiest player in the game.
He'd grab your ear, he'd poke your eye. He literally would do everything in his
power to try to turn the tables if he was down.
He was
everything that we wanted to
be, and he knew it.
Here's the only problem.
Ric Flair was the coolest dude on television.
Whether you like it or don't like it, learn to love it. My dad has always been
bad guy. And his character and what he stands for, people gravitate towards
Even today, Ric Flair is still the man.
It's amazing how generations upon generations of people know exactly who
Flair is. He's still the same character and same person.
To be the man, daddy, you gotta beat the man.
Woo!
His flamboyance and braggadocio were second to none. Flair transcended sports
entertainment and will forever be a villain we love to hate.
Now. On to another silver -tongued superstar, rowdy Roddy Piper. The sassy
Scotlander earned his villainous stripes with his controversial, outrageous, and
always offensive rhetoric.
Piper was the master of scathing insults and quick -witted comebacks. And he
drew the ire of the WWE Universe in a way no other superstar could.
He's the greatest wrestler in the entire world, Mr.
Rowdy Roddy Piper. How are you?
Hi -ho.
Hi -ho.
There was WWE, and then there was Roddy Piper. He was a guy that was
totally out of control and out for only himself.
It's nice to be me. You know that. It's nice to be me. It's nice to be able to
say exactly what you want to be and be 250 pounds, six foot one and a half, and
tough as you can come, man.
Roddy didn't care what anyone thought about him, and he was willing to just do
whatever he wanted to do to, I guess, have a fun time or get a reaction out of
people. You've got the same kind of skirt my wife wears.
Obviously, you're in trouble if I'm better looking than your wife.
He would rile up the crowd so much that the crowd not only hated him, but wanted
to harm him.
You're so much uglier than I am. I can't help it.
You're really ugly.
You're not the biggest dude.
You kind of got to match that with your gift of gab.
Not only are you a loser, you're a liar and a rotten parent.
And this is a guy that's mad at me.
Nine times out of ten, Piper would be so far under your skin and deep inside
your mind, you were beaten before the opening bell even rang.
If you ain't got enough guts to fight me one -on -one, mister, then take a hike
and leave the title with me. When you've got a superhero like the immortal Hulk
Hogan, it takes a real special villain to be that foil that he needs.
The Lex Luthor to that Superman?
The Hot Rod, Rowdy Roddy Pipes.
I want to present you with this.
Oh, look out!
Captain Lou Alvano Clover!
Look, and Roddy Piper's just gone bananas!
Look out, the Hucksters hitting the ring!
Cindy Lauper is down!
When I was a kid, man, I hated him. He believed 100%.
He was the hero of that story, even though what he was doing was objectively
good.
As Piper's abhorrent behavior continued to grow, he needed a bigger platform to
showcase his villainous persona.
And so Piper's pit was born.
But you're a lousy wrestler.
It's as simple as that. I might be a lousy wrestler, but I'm still in there.
not afraid of nobody.
When it comes to having a talk show in WWE, you just want to cause chaos.
And Grayson Waller and Roddy Piper have something in common, and we love causing
chaos. Big body, little, tiny weenie brain. I can understand that. That's
simple.
The quintessential villainous Roddy Piper moment for me is when he broke the
coconut over Superfly Snook's head.
Absolute, low, terrible thing for a man to do to another human being, but Roddy
Piper just didn't care. And I think that that is one of the reasons that I love
Roddy Piper so much.
I just thought he was the coolest.
I still think he's the coolest to this day. I'm Roddy Piper and you're not.
In sports entertainment, there is an art to making people hate you. And boy, did
the hot rod give us a master class on that. A trendsetter and a trailblazer.
Just like the legendary Trish Stratus.
Trish is brash, arrogant, catty, and cunning.
And she also happens to be a badass competitor willing to do whatever it
to get the W and soak in that spotlight.
I don't care what y 'all say.
When we think about the ultimate bad girl, I can't help but think of Trish
Stratus. I don't care if you're Britney freaking Spears.
Nobody is going to steal my spotlight.
Trish Stratus would be just a little jerk.
What are you guys doing out here? Oh, you're doing nothing. Yes, because what
was doing was I was out there taking care of business.
You think of a lot of fond memories of Trish, but when it's time to really show
the inner true evil, she's got it in her.
You and I will be facing each other.
I mean, when I'm ready.
Oh, my God!
That's called an idiot!
Totally unfair.
When she came in as a manager, She was just so conniving.
We were throwing the next with the Dudley boys.
At the time, the Dudleys had this weird obsession with putting women through
tables.
She's got to be scared to death. I was like
in a different time zone, a different planet, different stratosphere.
We also saw Trish and Chris Jericho get romantically involved, but that took a
turn.
Jericho was absolutely rough.
Trish was a monster during this era of her career.
You hated her as a heel. She was like Mean Girls.
Great job in being the dodgeball.
Who's your coach?
Stevie Wonder.
It's a ticket!
Your head is so hard, it broke my darn shoe, girl.
Trish also interrupted Lita and Kane's wedding.
I even wore white.
Because I knew that you couldn't.
And then just recently, Trish turned on Becky Lynch.
From behind!
Kick, kick from Stratus!
Same thing that maybe I wanted to think about but never said out loud.
Just being an over -the -top, exaggerated character.
I was the first woman to make you people give a crap about the women's division.
To me, what makes a great villain is somebody who always maintains an iota of
truth in the words they say to you. And nobody has done that better than Trish
Stratus. Not once did you say thank you, Trish.
She is a large reason why the women's division is where it is today.
But you just hate anyone who's telling you to thank them.
You all can say thank you, Trish.
But I did make room in my schedule for the contract signing. Thank you, Trish.
Oh, you get it. I love that.
I thank you, Trish. Well, you're welcome.
Trish was certainly cutthroat, but she was also uncompromising and dedicated.
And with seven women's championships to her name, she has a huge reason the
division is flourishing today.
And for that we say, thank you, Trish.
Now, where Trish could manipulate her opponents with a seductive kiss or a
of an eye, Our next villain just had to raise his eyebrow to make your blood
boil.
The Rock. You guessed it. I'm talking about The Rock. The Great One. From the
corner of Know Your Role Boulevard and Jabroni Drive, Dwayne The Rock Johnson
became a bona fide goat with his uncanny ability to talk trash and an even
greater ability to lay up the smackdown on all.
You're candy acid.
Now there's going to be the man right there. That's Blue Chipper right there.
I was there when The Rock debuted in 96, the Survivor Series, and it was kind of
like, why should I like you? Just because you smile?
You need to earn that from a fan base.
The individual Rocky Maivia character wasn't accepted.
So in turn, he kind of slowly became something that they hated.
I think we have just seen a new member of...
Rock in his villain mode when he was with the nation is probably my favorite
rock because that's when the evolution starts to happen.
Die, Rocky, die.
That's the gratitude I get from you pieces of crap.
He was in his bag. He was talking trash.
There ain't nobody in the rock means nobody that could ever be the people's
champ if you smell what the rock is cooking, Tabroni. You go from Rocky
to, hey, no, I'm the man.
And I'm elevating myself to wearing $500 shirts. I got these sunglasses.
I got my haircut.
I got Elvis sideburns at times for no reason. I want to make one point to all
you jackass fans out there. Rocky might be as a lot of things, but sucks isn't
one of them.
The best way to find out is to ask the leader of the nation of domination.
Well, it's a good thing, Doc, that you asked The Rock. Just begging me to whoop
your ass, ain't you?
He showed us who he really was.
And then we got The Rock.
Oh, sharpshooter.
There's a sharpshooter. Sharpshooter. Hey, McMahon said ring the bell. What
hell? Better end it all along.
They screwed us all.
When he sold out to Vince McMahon and the corporation, that was the last thing
you'd expect him to do.
Rock damn sure plans on laying the smack down on your candy ass
with the corporate elbow.
Hollywood Rock to me was it.
Here's this guy who left us for the bright lights of Hollywood.
He left WWE and then he comes back just to rub it in our face.
And as soon as he picks up that microphone into position to say the ever
catchphrase. Finally, The Rock has come back
to run his mouth on all your candy accents.
I was like, oh.
This is the new rock.
Yeah, the rock is going to fly out tonight. What do you think, the rock is
to spend one more night surrounded by all these hicks? No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
His personality shined so perfectly.
I'm a Sacramento Kings fan, and I remember they were in Sacramento.
And he's on the guitar, and he's saying, Check this out, check this out.
But I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May.
That place went apeshit.
And it made me so mad.
But it was so good.
He had just this ability to make people either hate him or love him with his
words.
Seeing that evolution was so cool.
Man, that's why they call him the Great One, because there's no one else to be
able to do it like he's able to do it.
Only when he embraced the boos and the jeers did The Rock's magnetism explode
an electrifying way, turning the Brahma Bull from corporate champion to people's
champion. However, no matter how hard they try, some jerks just won't ever
the respect of the WWE Universe.
Case in point, The Miz.
The self -proclaimed A -list superstar, The Miz is an easy guy to hate, but his
accomplishments do speak for themselves.
I feel like people don't give Miz enough credit as being a total jerk.
What makes me a despicable villain in WWE is the fact that I just have a
punchable face.
I'm the Miz, and I'm awesome!
And then when they can't hit it, and he keeps proving you wrong.
Makes you want to hit it even more.
Cut his mic.
You don't get to talk until I say you talk.
I've always been a button pusher.
Ever since I was a kid, if I found a button, I would just keep pressing it.
You failed.
Miz is more so like an annoying little gnat that's just flying around.
You just kind of want to get away from him.
One of the biggest egos in the history of WWE.
Miz has been a top WWE superstar for decades. This is my show!
Reek in and reek out!
Miz has a knockout of a wife.
Miz lives in a house bigger than any house you've ever seen.
Miz is in movies.
Miz lives the life and tells you about it while he's smiling and bragging in
your face.
I'm Miz, man.
What a personality.
In retrospect, when you're looking at his career, he's a living legend. Every
single step of the way, he's checking boxes.
Multiple time world champion.
Money in the bank winner.
WrestleMania main eventer.
Every time he goes out, he has that smirk on his face. And you just know
Miz loves himself.
He knows he's good. He knows he should be on TV.
He just understands himself in an entertainment sense so much that it's
muscle memory and second nature to him. I mean, him starting on the real world
on MTV, this character he's been creating has been simmering in this pot
awesomeness for as long as I've been alive.
When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut.
He's one of the best villains in history because everybody hates him.
He's catching it in on a Voldemort.
Oh, my God.
It's Miz.
No. What?
The Miz is the new WWE champion.
Who, who?
The Miz's mouth is like a rabid chihuahua.
It never stops.
That's Miss.
I need to talk to you real quick.
He was on Talking Smack with Daniel Bryan and Renee.
Okay, I think you need to calm down. That's not what this show's about.
The fact is, you're the one that calls me the coward, but you're the one that
doesn't get in the WWE ring again. No, don't you walk away from me, Daniel.
Don't you walk away. This is my show.
My show.
If someone is telling me I can't do something or that I suck, fuels my fire.
I couldn't possibly suck. I'm not from Kansas.
I am not the self -proclaimed most must see. I am the most must see.
I love being a bad guy.
You know, I read once that the only thing worse than a villain.
is the villain who thinks he's a hero.
Sorry, Miz. I guess there's just some things you can't force people to
acknowledge, unless you're Roman Reign.
The tribal chief plays by his rules and his rules only, and if you threaten his
prestige, power, or place at the top of the throne, prepare for God mode.
This is my yard now.
Roman Reigns is a righteous man driven to villainous circumstances by his
surroundings. You can call this place whatever you like.
This is my ring.
This is my WWE.
He is just a brute force and there's nothing anybody can do to stop it. Roman
Reigns has achieved and exists.
In God mode.
I'm not playing a character. I am head and shoulders above everything else.
You
want
to look up how to be a successful bad guy? Roman Reigns been it to a T. Get a
negative reaction out of the crowd with everything that you do.
Now Roman's mocking the WWE Universe.
Utilize every single resource he possibly can use to make sure that he
top. Do it regardless of who he's got to step over.
The beauty of Roman Reigns is that we have all learned you do not cross
Roman Reigns.
He is the top dog.
And there's no bringing him down. I'm the tribal chief, the head of the table,
WWE champion for however long I want to be.
Every word out of his mouth, you just believe it. But then he backs it up. I'm
in God mode.
I don't know what says villain more than saying I'll come to work when I want to
come to work.
Acknowledge me.
What makes him really diabolical is like his ability to be a supreme gaslighter.
It's not all about what happens in between the ring. A lot of times, it's
about what's up here. I'm going to fire up a jet for you, my tribal chief.
You should. Thank you. Thank you for your time, my tribal chief.
Roman Reign doesn't matter.
Roman Reign fights for what he believes in.
That's just a disgusting display.
His family members have fallen prey to his villainous behavior.
Like when we were kids, I'm going to whoop your ass.
You will respect me for all that I do for our family.
He just continues to mark his territory as the top WWE superstar possibly ever.
He really is the final boss of WWE.
The greatest title run of the modern era. We must acknowledge Roman
Reigns. I think that's the beauty of a great villain is that you hate him, but
you also respect him because what he's done is something that no one has done.
I think the legacy that Roman Reigns will leave is being the best of all time
and doing it my way.
Everything I've ever done is to get into the position to where I have the power.
And now I have the power.
Kicking ass and taking names.
Roman Reigns is in the midst of a record -setting title run with no end in
sight. And to that, we acknowledge you, Tribal Chief.
Now, from the one who holds the power to the one that holds the whole world in
his hands, Bray Wyatt.
A creative mastermind, Wyatt used another kind of weapon, fear.
He transformed himself into the most diabolical of characters, summoning a
of terror not seen before in WWE.
Almost like a nightmare.
Come to life.
I'm here.
One of the keys to being a villain is that people need to believe you. And
was the case with Ray Wyatt.
There's something about the way that he looked at you without blinking and
declared himself the eater of worlds that made you believe it.
I... And the color red in a world full of black and white. I am the eater
of worlds.
Bray Wyatt encapsules mystery.
Pure mystery.
Bray Wyatt is looking to terrorize the entire WWE.
He'll kind of lure you in with these meandering promos.
I am evil. I am the necessary evil that must exist in this world to balance
everything out. There was always just this darkness that surrounded him. He
just the king of mind games.
Behold, the new face of fear.
Bray Wyatt is once in a generation. His presence, the way he wrestled,
everything he did was just unique.
Bray Wyatt, a deceptively quick athlete.
He was so big and agile that you couldn't believe some of the things he
and out of nowhere.
How was he moving like this? It was terrifying.
A very, very dangerous individual.
The more mad you make Bray Wyatt, the more sadistic and physical he's going to
become. His style was very rugged, very hard -nosed. He was very in -your -face.
Right before Bray Wyatt would deliver to Sister Abigail, he would kiss her right
on the forehead.
The kiss. And Sister Abigail.
So vicious, but also so sensual at the same time.
Oh, gosh.
That's a villain right there.
Imagine being across the ring from this guy and seeing him do this.
He definitely took a page out of the horror films and stuff like that, right?
was that guy.
There's really only one person that's ever been able to bring a horror movie
monster to life and convince arenas full of people that it's real.
That's what Bray Wyatt did with The Fiend. You want to see my secret?
I'm a grown -ass man. When I first saw Bray and his full fiend, I was genuinely
scared. The Fiend who has cast this frightening spell over the entire WWE.
Made people think that it was fun and harmless until...
Stuff got real.
You're in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood, and then all of a sudden, the boogeyman just
come out. Let me in.
Of all the cinematic matches that we got to see, the Firefly Funhouse is my
absolute favorite.
Welcome to the Firefly Funhouse!
We didn't know what to expect, and...
What we got with this masterpiece that I think people are still working on
figuring out. I am literally living your biggest failure right now.
Looked like Cena went down memory lane of his whole career.
Memories where you didn't really want to go to because there's a lot of darkness
in your past.
This is such good s***.
And when Bray Wyatt and The Fiend...
stood victorious at the end of that match.
John Cena was not a defeated opponent. John Cena was a broken man.
I think the thing that everyone's going to remember about Bray the most is his
ability to take risks, his ability to think outside the box.
Oh, my God.
I can truly say that I have the whole damn world in my hands.
He was willing to go to dark places that everybody was afraid to go to because
why? He was the darkness.
Darkness was his ally.
Walk by my side and I will lead you to paradise.
Bray Wyatt, for my money, is one of the most creative geniuses that our business
has ever seen.
There will never be another Bray Wyatt.
Bray Wyatt captured emotion like few ever have in WWE. One of the darkest
villains in Brightest Minds. Gone way too soon.
We hope you've enjoyed this look back at the most awesome villains in WWE
history. Remember, without a villain to overcome, heroes would not exist.
I'm your host Greg Miller and it's been... What's that?
Greg Miller.
On the next This Is Awesome, the most awesome wrestling action figures in WWE
history. You ready to crunch somebody's bones?
How's it going, Benz?
The toys that stole your imagination and defined your childhood.
Grab your buddies and bend them, pop them, twist them, turn them,
and create your fantasy warfare.
So realistic, it's like being in the ring, only on the neck. This is
awesome.
