Characters Who Were Always Either Face or Heel...

[reckoning]

Ted DiBiase: In addition to his pre-million dollar man days, he was also briefly a babyface manager in WCW after breaking up with the NWO.

Rick Rude: Right before he had to retire, WCW was setting him up for a big feud against Vader. Rude cut a promo on WCW Saturday Night that had the fans clearly on his side.

Iron Shiek: He feuded with Ivan Koloff in the Mid-Atlantic territory in 1980. While it was a heel vs heel feud, most fans saw Shiek as the lesser of two evils.

Rey Mysterio: I believe he was briefly part of a heel faction in the Russo era of WCW when he was wrestling without a mask. It's hard to remember, seems like everyone was switching sides back then.

Can't remember them ever being heels: Ricky Steamboat, Tito Santana, Jim Brunzell, Greg Gagne, Magnum T.A.,

Can't remember them ever being faces: Tully Blanchard, Jesse Ventura, Adrian Adonis,

I do think Jesse had a brief stint as a face in Portland



I remember hearing him talk about it once in an interview. He said he never felt comfortable doing the face thing

Tully Blanchard was always face, at least to fans with any class.

Gagne cut a somewhat heel promo at Superclash 2 or 3. He was wrestling Ron Garvin and the crowd was huge into Garvin. And the crowd gave him a hard time. And after the match he said Garvin was a bit like the Chicago Bears (they were in Chicago) and he was like the Minnesota Vikings and they just streamrolled Chicago. The crowd shit all over him and he just walked out with the strap.

Also Brunzell never worked heel, but they were supposed too. WWE was toying with some heel turns for the Bees (they were a big enough act, that they used doubles to test the heel waters) in early 1988 but I guess they thought it went over poorly and scraped it. They beat up Hogan during a lumberjack match against DiBiase.

I was going to say Eugene, but according to Wikipedia, he had a brief heel run in late 2006.

What a terrible character that was. It was like a New Generation type character dropped right into the Ruthless Aggression era. I'd say it was PG era-esque, but it was too politically incorrect for the PG era.

The Killer Bees were my favorite team as a kid. I loved masked confusion, greatest move in wrestling ever.

I liked them in the AWA.

Did you know after WWF, they actually went by the name Mask Confusion in UWF?

The Bushwhackers?

The Bushwhackers?

One of the most bloodiest hated teams of the 70s and 80s till they went to the WWF and became those loveable fun guys from New Zealand.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Ultimate Warrior was never a heel.

Ultimate Warrior was never a heel.

Sure looks like you skipped the bottom half of page 2 in this thread.

Not sure about WCW because by 1999ish I completely stopped watching it but Rey Mysterio has always been a face in his WWE tenure

You just missed his heelish run with Konnan around 1999, after he lost his mask.

Tom Zenk is another one who I don't think ever wrestled as a heel, although he tried to be an obnoxious heel with that blog he was writing in the early-2000s.

I just realized "Stunning" Steve Austin was always heel while watching this video.
