4. Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper was the classic heel and always drew heat by trash talking his opponents. Piper would always find some sort of inadequacy in his opponent and would verbally thrash the poor soul.
He was the ahead of his time as he perfected the rough uncut face persona as well and he personified the Attitude Era before it actually began.
One of his classic rants was during a feud with Bret Hart when he claimed that Hart used to wear a diaper till he was 8 years old. Piper was so good on the mic that the WWE gave him his own talk show segment – ‘The Piper’s pit’ which has been copied by various wrestlers including Chris Jericho, Carlito, Edge,Christian and The Miz over the years.
