So to be so late with an updated poll.
This is Set 4 to pick the DWB Top Heel! Again, I have a weird set-up for this, so just go along with what I have for now. It all will makes sense towards the end. In case you have a tie, you can select two answers per poll. I'll give this set a few days, and then a couple round for the finals will be posted.
So, out of these four, who is perhaps the best heel?
Superstar. Flair is too "loved-to-hate" compared to Graham.
The reason why I put these wrestlers this set together was because...
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair - is legendary as a heel, although he was cheered rather well for someone who was supposed to be a heel
Ivan Koloff - the man who beat Sammartino breaking his (almost) 8-year reign as WWWF Champion. It's said that you could've heard a pin drop in Madison Square Garden that night.
"Superstar" Billy Graham - the man who beat Sammartino after a year and a half title reign; he defeated top stars during his year reign, he beat top stars such as Sammartino, Rhodes, Putski, Strongbow, Monsoon, Zbyszko, Garea, Mascaras, & Backlund; influenced many wrestlers, such as Austin Idol, Steve Strong, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, & Flesh Gordon
Iron Shiek - the man who beat Backlund after 5 year reign (sorry, I ignored the choppiness of his reign) by having Arnold Skaaland throw in the towel in one of the most memorable (and honestly, a little confusing) finishes in wrestling history; tapped into a idea of using xenophobia, and bringing it in to the ring as part of his gimmick, "Iran Number One!"
You forgot Graham was also the longest reigning heel World Champion in WW(W)F(E).

Oh yeah. I would like to see a (good) heel champ go two years.
Flair takes this one.
The finals sets will be posted in a few days.
