Babyface Shows
By Scott Keith on 29 February 2024
I'm watching SummerSlam 91 after reading news of Virgil's passing, and darn if I forgot how the babyfaces went over strong in pretty much every match with significant stakes. Bret wins the IC Title, Virgil wins the M$T, Boss Man sends Mountie to jail, LOD win the Tag, and Hulk and Warrior beat the Triangle of Terror, not to mention Savage and Liz's wedding (the reception featured on the home video release doesn't count, the PPV ended happily ever after).
What other shows out there swayed so hard into an all-babyface night? Heck, for fun, what about “the heels go over everything” side of the coin?
Outside of something featuring the Von Erichs in World Class I can’t think of many other shows that were so babyface heavy like that one. Most notable examples at least had the heels winning the tag titles or something to offset all the happiness a bit. Wrestlemania X maybe?
But for heel shows, WCW is your huckleberry. nWo Souled Out, Halloween Havoc 95, many others.
