Didn’t Work As A Face/Heel

By Scott Keith on 21 July 2022


On the topic of “The Andersons Don't Work As Babyfaces” (which I totally agree with), who else falls into that category for faces and heels?

I would definitely nominate The Miz on the babyface end, and after watching more retro stuff lately, I could never quite grasp Kevin Sullivan as a babyface, either, though your mileage may vary.

As for the “didn't work as a heel” side, the obvious one is Tatanka, which you've mentioned elsewhere. WCW's attempt to turn Sting didn't really work, either, though I didn't watch enough TNA to know how his heel run fared there.

Thanks.

Yeah Sullivan was weird as a babyface. Also Oliver Humperdink as a babyface manager was bizarre. The Powers of Pain made no sense as faces in 88.
