What are some of the longest face/heel runs you know of?
Hogan was a face from January 1984 (or earlier) to July 1996.
Rey Mysterio has been a face since the year 2000 or so. I believe he had a short heel run in WCW around then.
John Cena has been a face since around October/November 2003.
Undertaker has been a face since the summer of 2002.
Was Ricky Steamboat ever a heel?
I can't think of any heel runs right now that were very long.

Wasn't he a heel for a month or two when ECW started up again in 2006? Like right after the One Night Stand PPV where beat Cena for the WWE Title, and then he was handed the ECW title by Heyman. I can't remember.

Bruno Sammartino was always a face. I heard on a interview with the local news that he always wanted to be a positive role model for kids, so I don't think he was ever a heel.

Cena turned face in the lead up to Survivor Series 2003. So about 8 years and 3 months or so.

This gotta be Steamboat. He was never a Heel. He was the perfect Babyface.

Not quite, he theoretically turned heel when Alberto Del Rio debuted to put him over. Didn't seem to have the impact that it should have because, as you said, he was always a face. It became less a chorus of boos and more a moment of "...wait, what???"

I think Rude was a face in ECW
As well as a brief stint in IWCCW, where he supposed to feud with Honky Tonk Man.

I don't think so, except when he first came to the WWF and fans still booed him.

Was he ever a heel in WCW,all i remember are his reality check/commisioner stints and his never ending feud with Hogan
Lance Storm was never a babyface IIRC, heel as Impact Players in ECW and with Team Canada/Unamericans in WCW & WWE
whiteyford
02-12-2012, 12:12 PM
Sure he was face feuding with the triple threat at one point in ECW
Checked wikipedia,not sure if he was a face against Candido but he teamed with Golust and Val Venus as a face after the unamericans
Destor

Hacksaw was face forever on WWE. Tuned heel in WCW very briefly I think.

Right, but he turned face at Wrestlemania IV after he had a tossle with Bad News Brown, and became a face until his heel run in 97' after Wrestlemania 13.

She debuted as a face

Pretty sure Hacksaw was still a face when he joined Team Canada. I remember he did it reluctantly as a stipulation, did he 'embrace the hate' though?

And does anyone really care?

Hacksaw definitely turned heel.

Also, Beth Phoenix had a run as a face on Smackdown. Only relatively recently turned heel again. Sometime in the summer.

Even shaved his beard! Heh... he had a FARMER'S TAN ON HIS FACE!!! It was like the reverse "Hollywood Hogan" look.
I was going to say Vince Russo has been a heel , but he did kinda do a face turn at "Bash at the Beach". Kinda.
Has Sheiky-baby ever been a face? I mean, seriously. At this point in his career, he's entered "Ric Flair" territory (he'll get a face pop no matter what he does because he's the Iron Fucking Sheik) but hasn't he been a career heel??

He spent tons of time as a face. More time than he spent as a heel.

He was a face in WWE from about '87 on as well.

I don't think so. I believe he was a face very early in his career (probably when he started out), I think.
