Top 5 old school heels in WWE

Rusev

Rusev’s hatred for America makes him a throwback heel like the ones in the 1970s and 1980s

There hasn’t been a dominant anti-American wrestler like Rusev to come along in some time. The only problem is he isn’t dominant enough. Rusev is the brawling type in the mold of Ivan Koloff. A big barrel-chested villain who everyone hates.

Pair that with his lovely Lana and a Russian flag and you have gold!

Rusev’s stronghold on the United States Title is one more reason he draws solid heat from the fans, and his work in the ring as an invincible force reminds me a lot of the 1970s and 1980s foreign stars who dominated opponents until someone like Dusty Rhodes came along and defended America.
