Who was/is a better face than a heel
 

Being that we are all part of the IWC which more often than not means we were fans of the heels growing up, who in your opinion was a better face than a heel.

I'll start: Shawn Michaels

Austin

DDP

Becky Lynch

Hogan

Goldberg

Duggan
Dusty

Sting

I think many will disagree but I’d say Foley. Amazing heel work but even better as a face.

Rikishi

That's a tough one. He's soooo good in ECW as a heel but he's one of the most likeable wrestlers in history as a face.

Bret Hart

My fav run was his mega-face Hart Foundation days before the screwjob

Hogan

beat me to it

Undertaker

Cena :shifty:

Rey

mysterio

The New Day

Booker T

King Bookah man. King Bookah.

He gave that a real good go, but I think that’s about the only time he’s really worked for me as a heel.

He was pretty fun with Austin

Sandman

Lower down the card, but I always felt Test was better as a face. He had some decent babyface fire and he was always pretty bland and generic as a heel. I always thought his theme was a face theme too.

Big Bossman too. He was great as a heel, but he was mega over as a face. I can remember crowd going crazy in his feud with The Mountie and Nailz. He was crazy charismatic.

Beefcake

Guy managed to go from hated heel to beloved baby face in the span of 10 seconds.

Bossman rep for all!

Macho Man Randy Savage

I 100% disagree with that.

Big Bubba Rogers in the houssseee

Prince Iaukea

Same.

Lol he got 1986 George Steele over for God sakes.

I loved face Savage in the early 90s and I’m not as adamant as others would be but unhinged heel Savage can’t be topped.

Knew Savage was gonna be a controversial choice.... but for me, I just didn't want to hate the guy.... prob tied in with him being the top face out of my rassling toys

My “controversial” one would probably be Orton. Always liked him way more as a cool, cocky face. The RKO works WAY better as a face finisher too.

Miss Elizabeth
DDP

Don’t disagree entirely, but I never bought into him as anything serious. Started caring about him when he was teaming with Goldust.

Oh, how’s that for a name? Yeah, there was some memorable heel stuff, but as a worker, Dustin is so damn good as a face.

I HAAAAAAATED face Goldust

Lol, we’re not matching up on this subject at all, are we? In this case, I overlooked Goldust proper and am more talking his stuff when he was just Dustin Rhodes in the getup.

I remember when he turned face in 97. He was so bad. I also loved his stuff with Luna lol so there ya go. I admit I have terrible taste in wrestling haha

No, no, no — that was terrible and I was overlooking it.

I marked out hard when he brought back the goldust gimmick to fight Val venis.

And didn't he turn back heel soon after? When was the stuff with Blue Meanie? Wrestlemania 15?

Yeah. There was a lot of change in a relatively short timeframe for Dustin. He was doing the “Artist Formally Known As” gimmick at the start of ‘98, was doing the whole “born again” deal in the summer, was back as Goldust in October, and turned heel with the Meanie thing in early ‘99.

I loved heel Goldust, far superior and one of my favourite characters of all time. The entrance was incredible and it was like nothing we had seen before in modern wrestling. Pushed the boundaries about as far as they would go and was pretty much must watch anytime he was on TV in that era.

Ken Shamrock was a better face I thought.

Face Goldust was ace alongside Booker T tho.

You mean the 97 run? I guess this depends where you live lol

I thought Bulldog was a better face,

Savage is such a toss up. He was flawless as both

He was the best heel when Sherri was by his side.
