Wrestlers who never turned heel/face [Archive]

List some wrestlers who stayed/have stayed on one line of the Heel and Face boundaries for their whole careers.

I was quickly going through names and I'm only pretty sure about two guys off the top of my head: The Ultimate Warrior and Hacksaw Jim Duggan I don't think were ever heels

11-28-2004, 05:03 PM

Duggan was a heel in Team Canada and I think Warrior was at one point.

This was done a while ago and I think the only guy who hasn't ever turned is Ricky Steamboat. Always a face.

Gangrel was face with the Brood. They were doing some dirty work for the Undertaker's Ministry and then Christian lost a match against Big Show (if memory serves me correctly). The Ministry beated down on Christian and he was saved by Edge and Gangrel - turning the Brood face

I think that Gangrel remained face from that point to the end of his WWE career (though I am not 100% sure). Not including the one time appearance on Smackdown with Big Vis.

And Maven's always been a face.
Prior to turning up on Raw, the Deacon Batista turned on Reverend D-Von, making him a face for a brief period of time.

he was like face for a day when he attacked D-von

Well, he got a face pop that day, but he never really turned. He just started squashing Randy Orton week after week.

Snuka was heel before. Rude was babyface before.

Eric Bischoff? He was always a heel authority figure. Other than that I think The Mountie was always heel.

Bobby Heenan (possibly the greatest heel of all time), though I think he may have been a face for a short time early on in his wrestling career.

Has Lita ever been a heel? I don't recall ever seeing her as a heel? When she came into WWE with Essa Rios she may have been :?: Although I though Essa Rios was a face?

And since Jazz was in WWE I don't recall her ever being a face. She may have been in ECW, or wherever she came from? But I don't remember a face Jazz in WWE.

Was Tazz ever a face during his wrestling spell with WWE? All I remember about him as a WWE wrestler is a feud with JR and Lawler, and being neutral during the invasion. Oh, and I seem to remember him being in a Tag Team with Spike Dudley? Although I don't remember whether this team was face or heel?

What about Jeff Jarrett? I don't recall him ever being face?

And a last one - Chuck Palumbo. Was he ever Face in WWE?

Yashamaga

11-29-2004, 02:44 PM

If Essa Rios was never a heel, then add him and Aguila

Jazz was a face in ECW because she feuded w/ Simon Diamond

Jarrett was a face in WCW during the WCW vs. nWo days

Chuck was a face in WCW

Gouda

11-29-2004, 06:10 PM

- Came in with Gangrel as a heel.....

The next thing I remember is Edge and Christian on there own as the heel tag team.

Oh, and I seem to remember him being in a Tag Team with Spike Dudley? Although I don't remember whether this team was face or heel?

Tazz was a face when he debuted, and for a little while afterwards. I believe he turned back face when he choked out Paul E. right after the shoot on Vince before Survivor Series. And the team with Spike were also faces as they were feuding with the Dudleyz, who were heel at the time.

When I think of the Dudleyz v Spike/Tazz feud, I'll always remember the sick 3-D the Dudleyz gave to Spike on the concrete.

The Mackem

11-29-2004, 07:17 PM

Oh shit, yeah.

Loose Cannon

11-29-2004, 07:24 PM

Sorry Mackem. As far as I know, yea, Kerry Von Erich was never a heel.

So, to sum up: Maven, Steamboat, Von Erich, Santana never turned heel

Norman Smiley was a face with his Big Wiggle Thing.
Then he was a heel allying with Fit Finley because nobody pronounced their names right. ("It's Norman Smil-Ay!")

And Norman Smiley destroyed Pepe!

No, he was a heel when he tagged with Owen. Breaking apart from Owen and The Man They Call Vader launched this face turn, which led from like February or March (maybe as late as April) of 1996 and lasted through Survivor Series of that year, which was the last time he was ever seen on WWF television.

I believe he was a face very early in his WWF career. At royal rumble 1991 he was a face, i believe.

In ECW he was too.

When he was about to announce his retirement and hand the franchise name over to Tommy Dreamer he turned face. Credible and Storm came out and they got into it ( The Impact Players attacked Francine and Shane). Anyway, they wrestled in a tag match at Guilty As Charged 2000 and Shane got the pin on JC with the Pittsburgh Plunge.

Essa Rios was a heel during his short stint in the WWE, thus making Lita a heel as well.

Jeff Hardy was a heel during his "frustrated-painted-up-queer" period. I believe he turned face again after he finally won a match with Shawn Michaels against Chris Jericho and Christian on RAW.

Christian was definitely a face after the first ladder match at No Mercy. He and Edge turned heel after WrestleMania 2000 when they finally won the tag belts.

So what's that leave us with? Steamboat?
