Jerry Lawler is widely remembered as one of the greatest babyfaces ever, but it is often forgotten that his work as a heel is equally compelling. The King of Memphis probably did his best heel work, when he played the role of the invading heel, who looked down on the culture of ECW and it’s hardcore fans.

His exceptional grasp of wrestling psychology allowed him to expertly tailor his promos to get the best reaction out of the audience. His overall mastery of wrestling would’ve made him a tremendous manager in the modern era.

Whether he was putting on a Match of the Year candidate with Cena or headlining Wrestlemania in the Battle of the Billionaires, Umaga made a significant impact in his time with the WWE. The Samoan Bulldozer was widely regarded as the best worker in the legendary Fatu family, and he also had a unique charisma that made him the ultimate monster heel.

The combination of Jerry Lawler’s knowledge along with Umaga’s work rate and charisma would have made for a hall of fame act. This duo could have gone on to headline several Wrestlemanias and elevate several other Superstars in the process.
