Paul Heyman has a new column up on the UK Sun's website, where he discusses how WWE has entered a "new golden age" in terms of "compelling villains".
He talks in great detail about how Superstars like John Bradshaw Layfield, Chris Jericho, Edge and Randy Orton have reinvented themselves to clearly demonstrate "the art of heeldom".
Heyman first discusses JBL's program with Shawn Michaels, and how making the bully character "far more subtle", "presented a truly despicable character... for the viewers to enjoy hating". He also praises Jericho for "a total transformation" into "an articulate villain who delivers his lines with little emotion but lots of conviction".
The founder of ECW saves his best praise for Edge and Orton, calling them "the best two heels of the new age". He lauds Edge for keeping his character "fresh but not cool, entertaining but not humourous, irresistable but not likeable". He also commends Edge for understanding how to keep his character "hated".
Heyman's column ends with non-stop praise about Randy Orton, calling him "the most riveting character WWE has ever presented" and gushing about how "he's broken new ground" and "given [audiences] a different perspective". Heyman seems particularly enamoured with the fact that Orton seems to be improving every week, and can't believe the Superstar is still under the age of 30.
Heyman puts Orton at the "head of the class".

I pretty much agree with everything, except I think Jericho is very boring on the mic. Very, very boring. I sometimes mute the TV or put on music to make up for the time he's on the mic. The only thing going against Orton is that illness and the only thing going against Edge is Vickie. Just my opinions.
Also Jericho is boring.

harli of the shadows The only thing that's boring is Vickie Guerrero's air time 3nodding I definitely mute the TV when she's on. Actually I mute the TV half the time whenever a Diva/woman is on WWE. Its like they shouldn't be on TV at all. I do watch for a few though. Beth Phoenix and Santino, whom I still think Santino should be Women's champ.

Heyman always speaks the truth.
My top with the four would be: Edge, Orton, Jericho, JBL.
In terms of promo, it's Jericho. Money.
