Guest AfricanAmerican Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 I dont know why, but I started to try and come up with the names of wrestlers (not signed in the past year or two, but are still currently signed) that came in as a heel, and remained heel. The only guys i can think of are Raven and umm, Justin Credible (but he was a face as Aldo Montoya). Can the rest of you give a few, or are these guys the only ones?
Guest DawnBTVS Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Raven was getting some face heat in WCW when he was teaming with Saturn and feuding with Benoit/Malenko I believe.
Guest Choken One Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Ted Dibiase, He never turned face in WWE except for a brief two week stint as a jobber.
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Raven wouldn't be considered for the "stayed a heel" role in WWE either. Waaaaaaay back when he was still commentating for Heat (I miss those days, dammit!) he was getting some face pops. Surprising huh? Stevie Richards () challenged him to an impromptu match, and Raven was the face in the match. Plus, Raven had something happen to him during that match...I can't remember exactly what it was, but his mouth was bloody after the match. (Braids...fancy coats...hell, even the kilt was acceptable. Short hair? Nooooo!!!!)
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Giant Gonzales...? El Giante was a face in WCW. I'm not sure about Rude, I don't seem to remember him as a face, but he may have been.
Paul Stanley Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Rude was a face ONLY in a short time in ECW. Rude was always heel in World Class, Memphis, WWF, WCW.
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 I don't remember King Kong Bundy ever being a face.
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Nevermind, Bundy WAS a face in AWA and other various feds..
Guest Passenger Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Raven was also face for a few months before the Invasion angle started. Just before he first braided his hair (OMG his lovely hair ) he slowly turned, just after Wrestlemania 17, he went on to feud with Rhyno for a couple of weeks concluding with their match at Backlash (generally considered the best match on the card). He was getting pretty decent pops as well until it was all forskaken, to turn him heel for the ECW invasion.
Guest Passenger Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 (not signed in the past year or two, but are still currently signed) So that kinda rules Nowinski out. I don't get it does he mean never been a face since WWE signed them, or never been a face in their career?
Guest Choken One Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 No Way, he was MAJOR FACE for about a couple months as Commish before the obvious heel turn.
Guest Brian Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Never been a face ever. Regal's been a face, in the WWE no less during the InVasion.
Guest Grenouille Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 William Regal. Regal was a face very early into his WCW stint in '93.
Guest Passenger Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 William Regal. Regal was face during the Invasion angle, until he turned on the WWF to become the Alliance Commisioner.
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 The Honkey Tonk man debuted as a face in the WWF.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Wow really? I was gone during the bulk of the Invasion. How about Jeff Jarrett, in the WWF at least?
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 *thinks* Bobby Heenan Carl Ouellet (Pierre of Quebecers, Jean-Pierre Lafiette) Brother Love more I can't think of right now...
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 The Iron Shiek The Iron Shiek wrestles to pretty big ovations this very day still, so he's out. I also think he had a small face run "back in the day. How about Jeff Jarrett, in the WWF at least? He wouldn't count, as he's been a face quite a few times in his career, even in WWF I belive when he re-debuted. Bobby Heenan Karl Oulet (Pierre of Quebecers, Jean-Pierre Lafiette) Brother Love Heenan was a face for one night managing The Bruiser against The Sheik. Later that night he turned on Bruiser though, but it counts! Karl Oulet was a face starting out his career also. I don't know about Brother Love, but I'm pretty sure he was a face before he was da love man. I have to think Mr. Fuji would contend for being a heel his whole career wouldn't he?
Zetterberg is God Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Lance Storm (besides his ECW debut and his Indy days)
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 I have to think Mr. Fuji would contend for being a heel his whole career wouldn't he? No, after Yoko turned face he went on to manage Lex Luger for like 3 weeks.
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 I have to think Mr. Fuji would contend for being a heel his whole career wouldn't he? No, after Yoko turned face he went on to manage Lex Luger for like 3 weeks. Eh, I was talking about his wrestling days, but this counts I suppose. Ok, let's go old school... ...Bulldog Brower. Was he ever a face?
Yuna_Firerose Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Just before he first braided his hair (OMG his lovely hair) Do I dare sense another Raven fan? And I agree with you on that point... whether it was krimpy and red, or braided and blonde/green/purple/whatever color he could get.... it was always great to see. But...now...it's cut! First Eddy's mullet and now Raven's braids? :_( :_ _ ( What next... Shannon and Matt cut their hair? I'll shut up before I jinx it...
Guest Passenger Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Lance Storm was briefly a face teaming with Kidman on entering WCW in 2000.
