kirk angel 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 what wrestlers have never been a face or never been a heel throughout their career.the onlyones i can think of are never face rick rude kevin sullivan...i havent really followed his career but from what ive seen i dont remember him ever being a face never heel ultimate warrior...not positive about this though, i think he could have possibly been a heel when he first came to wccw ricky steamboat...i dont really know anything about him pre wwf, so if he was ever a heel it was before he first came to the wwf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Steamboat was turning very heelish when he was in TNA. Rude I think was a face at some point or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Kevin Sullivan,I believe was a face early on in his career. He was also briefly a face in the Florida territory after Oliver Humperdink threw a fireball at him and he teamed some with Blackjack Mulligan against Oliver's Army. After he became the Ultimate Warrior,he was never heel again but he was a heel with Sting as the Blade Runners and a heel early on in World Class before Buzz Sawyer and Matt Borne attacked him after a 6 man tag. I think......not definite on this one.....Rude was briefly a face in Memphis but I don't think he ever was after he became a more nationally known wrestler. Steamboat is the only one I can think of that never wrestled as a heel. Actually,if going back to the older days....... Did Bruno ever wrestle heel? Was Stan Hansen ever a face? Junkyard Dog a heel? Tito Santana a heel? Iron Shiek a face? Kevin or Kerry Von Erich a heel? Ivan Putski a heel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Rude had a face run in ECW, 'feuding' with Shane Douglas and Francine in 97ish. I remember he did commentary on Buffalo Invasion on one match, and then appeared during Douglas' match, taking Francine from ringside and backstage...in a rather...different way.

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 If we're just looking at characters, I don't believe that Justin Credible (as Justin Credible, not as Aldo or other gimmicks) was ever a face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 yeah... during Barely Legal 97 he was pretty much a face... he got a huge pop after unmasking from behind the SWAT gear... and we could very well say Chris Nowinski has never been a face...but he's had a short career and no real time for a turn.

Guest wayzing Report post Posted October 28, 2003 What about Bobby Heenan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Heenan and Steamboat are the only two I'm certain about never jumping the fence, since I've heard them say so themselves in interviews. However, like SS said, I can't see Iron Sheik being face or some of the Von Erichs being heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Rude I believe was also leaning towards facedom in WCW before he wound up getting the injury that took him out of the ring for the rest of his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 ummmmm.... Red and Spanky were never heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted October 29, 2003 I think everyone is asking about guys around for a while. All the cases have been around in the 80s. Red & Spanky have been around for 4 years tops? Rotundo was a face randomly in the 80s but has been heel a lot more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted October 29, 2003 You know, one of the reasons why Ricky Steamboat is my favorite wrestler is because he was always a face. He was always someone you could depend on. He was a family man. You could trust him. You could always root for him and get away with it. He was as heroic as Hogan has always wanted to be. What's bad was that being face cost him the chance to be a main eventer in the WWF. And most of all, he didn't have a lame excuse for turning on the fans, since he never needed to.

Guest Fook Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Has Rey Mysterio ever been a heel? I can't see anyone putting him as anything except a face considering his size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Rotundo was a face for the first few years of his career up till the Varsity Club. Yeah, I would think it's a bit premature to be mentioning guys that have only been around the last 4-5 years or so. Out of the Von Erichs, I'm pretty sure David was a heel in a brief stint in Florida in the early 80's. I would put an asterik next to anybody who did a turn as an announcer. Somebody like Rude,who did the face bit in ECW, wasn't an active wrestler at that point in his career. I would think the topic question would apply to those that actually wrestled a regular schedule. How long was Bobby Heenan an active wrestler before he became a manager? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Rey Mysterio has been a heel as the filthy animals turned several times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Bobby Heenan was a Michael Hayes type, in that he both wrestled and managed back in the 60s and 70s, although he was always more a manager than a worker. (Oddly enough, it was future hardcore legend Atsushi Onita who ended Bobby's in-ring career in the early 80s, with a kneedrop off the top rope that broke Bobby's neck.) As far as I know, and I read his book cover to cover, he was always a heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Never Heel: Austin (I will never ever ever count his stupid ass heel run, he will always be a face) What great logic you are using there. Ugh.

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Bockwinkle was a face in WCW, albeit in a non-wrestling role as the commissioner. Scorpio was a heel in ECW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Here is a list of Pro. Wrestlers that NEVER worked as a heel, thus was a face for their entire career from WrestlingClassics.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Wasn't Steamboat a heel in TNA? I have no idea, as I have no way to ever watch the programs and I don't follow their faces/heels on paper. That list I posted was posted on 7/18/03, so I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Tito Santana was a heel in the short lived ATW in the mid ninties after he left the WWF. Jimmy Garvin was a face in the late eighties, teaming with his "brother" Ronnie and having a very memorable match with Ric Flair where his valet was on the line. Nick Bockwinkle was occaisionally a face in the AWA when needed. I believe he was face between taking the belt off of Verne and feuding with Hogan. I have Smokey Mountain's "Night of Legends" where Terry Gordy is a face and I want to say that I've seen him wrestle face at other times too, including during the Free Birds now and again face stints in WCW. Big John Studd was a face before he retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
