Cm punk easily in all of his personas, SES was the best, but Nexus leader and current "respect whinning champion" are great too
^this, is tied heavily closed between punk and jericho for best recent heels, but I think the OP didn't include jericho because he isn't a current full timer
orton was great too as a psychopatic sadistic heel, but Cm punk mic work in SES was too damn good, to the point people really and seriously bought into his character (the old lady yelling at punk incident comes to mind), that's some nuclear visceral Heat right there, same way Jericho's incident with the girl who punched him
Orton in 2009 was great, only thing that wasn't great was what happened with WWE title in his feud with HHH. Orton loses at WM for some reason, then wins it in a random rematch, then HHH gets injured, then HHH comes back, then Batista wins the title, then Orton gets it back, then loses it. All within a few month timespan.
2009 Orton was one that punted Vince McMahon. RKOed Steph. And so many other things during that McMahon feud.
Jericho was added to the list and I just may vote for him. Think about what Jericho did from 2008 (I know it's not counted for this poll) to 2010 heel run. He had one of the greatest feuds of the past decade with Shawn Michaels, added more prestige to the Intercontinental (great series of matches/feud with Mysterio) & Unified Tag Team Titles (Jeri-Show), compelling WrestleMania feud with wrestling legends, and a couple of brief but enjoyable reigns. Jericho also managed to reinvent his character, stripped "Y2J" away and forced many of his fans who refused to boo him to actually boo the character. Jericho was also entertaining getting punked out by celebrities every week on Raw in '09; one of the few bright spots during that period.
Even though his 2012 heel run sucked, 08-10 Jericho was phenomenal.
