Spent their entire career as a heel
 
I remember awhile beack when somebody did a topic about people who spent their entire careers as a face, how about the oppposite? Who are some of the wrestlers that have spent their entire career as a heel? Some of the wrestlers I can think of would be The One Man Gang, Kevin Sullivan, and Ivan Koloff. A couple of tag teams I could thing of would be The Destruction Crew and The Texas Hangmen.


Side note, I always like the Texas Hanngmen when I was younger. They were kinda a cross between Demoltition and badass Texans with the spiked hoods, nooses and the leather jacket/ chaps. If I do become a wrestler I'm gonna rip off the gimmick, Texas Hangman Rollermacka... yea, maybe I should work on the name

VSG 03-21-2011 12:18 PM

Scott Hall was always a heel whether you choose to believe it or not.

dingdongyo 03-21-2011 12:23 PM

that's a tough list to come up with. wasn't the one man gang a face as "akeem"?

Gertner 03-21-2011 12:31 PM

Older wrestlers like the Sheik and Bruiser Brody must have been heels their entire careers I'm guessing.

I'm pretty sure the Iron Sheik was never a face as well.

He was a face early on his career as Ali Vaziri in the AWA

Gertner 03-21-2011 12:44 PM

I completely forgot that about Brody and I wasn't aware of that about the Iron Sheik

Rammsteinmad 03-21-2011 12:44 PM

Hogan was never a face. In my eyes anyway.

Piper was a face in his late 80's run thru the early 90's

as well as his WCW run

and Flair was a huge face in the early 80's before he was in the Horsemen

He even feuded with Tully Blanchard

and usually always a heel and a nasty one at that

Ivan Koloff was briefly a face in 1988, after breaking away from Paul Jones.

Jordan 03-21-2011 03:01 PM

Wild guess, The Honky Tonk Man. King Kong Bundy, Kevin Sullivan

Gertner 03-21-2011 03:03 PM

The Honky Tonk Man I'm pretty sure was a face when he debuted in the WWF.

MoFo 03-21-2011 03:18 PM

James Mitchell / Sinister Minister

Gertner 03-21-2011 03:39 PM

Tajiri/Whipwreck was a face tag team in ECW and Mitchell was their manager, even though they'd be heels in practically every other wrestling company.

Raven was a face when he came back to ECW in late 1999 and even teamed with his old rival Tommy Dreamer

He also most likely was a face in his many incarnations before the Raven character

Repo Man was a face as part of Demolition as I know they did have a face run in like 1990

Wrong. He was a face tag team with Perry Saturn in his last days in WCW. They won the tag team titles.

Also briefly helped Dreamer be tag team champions in ECW before turning on him again. Also he lent Saturn money when they were in elementary school so he was a face then.

gotta bust the one man gang / akeem theory:

chikara king of trios as part of team wwf that time when he was tagged up with demolition, team wwf worked as face against chikara established heels. 2009 i believe.

he was in the one man gang garb, and there was someone in the audience that dressed as akeem - gang borrowed his hat for a jive soul bro dance off with larry sweeny in a classic segment.

... didn't he come out as ("world famous") "The Masked Heel" to screw someone out of a title? I don't recall the angle too well, or if that were him or not, but I remember it involved Russo being in at least one match.


Also, Raven was face at at least one point in TNA as well, but since it's a fun game not to count TNA for anything around here, I guess that comment will go unnoticed.

Face manager of the Steiner Brothers led them to the WCW Tag team titles after getting kicked out of the nWo. Also a face in the WWWF and was the North-American Champion which was a precursor to the IC belt.

Did it fall? Of course it did! iI was once standing and it is now down, hence it fell. It doesn't mater how many people witnessed it, it still happened. Much like One Man Gang being a face

Lara Emily 03-22-2011 02:25 PM

Fuck though all of this talk doesn't matter anyway One Man Gang was a face very early in his career bit in Angelo Poffo's International Championship Wrestling, where he was Crusher Bloomfield
