I was also impressed with JBL and Angle as heel champions, but it is hard to argue against HHH and Graham. The WWE needs an explosive heel champion right now, but considering there top heel talent is sparse it may be awhile. On RAW the only heels to have held the belt are Edge and Orton. And the next big heel below them that gets any reaction seems to be Nitro or Umaga. All the other stars are faces or get no reaction at all. While on Smackdown there is Kennedy, Booker T, and Finlay and ECW has only Holly. 8 top heels, 9 if you count McMahon, in a company of 100 or so superstars. It is pathetic.

(Top Faces: HBK, sadly Cena, Jeff Hardy, Carlito, Flair, Lashley, RVD, Matt Hardy, Batista, Taker, Kane, Benoit, Mysterio, and HHH. That is 14 top faces and I may be missing a few. That is nearly twice the amount of heels. What is worse though, is that the remaining 80 superstars are either ignored by McMahon or ignored by fans. Considering that at the zenith of the Monday Night Wars with ECW, WCW, and WWE all hitting their stride there was easily double that amount.)
