Was The rock best as a heel or a face?
 
What do you think?

El Fangel 09-11-2006 12:13 PM

You are asking this question about arguably the most charismatic, mic promo, face there has ever been?

He did have some kind of really kick ass vibe when he came back.

El Fangel 09-11-2006 02:11 PM

yeah but you can't deny that he is/was in the running for the biggest face, in the wrestling world. I know you may hate me saying this but, if you look at Hogan (as much as i hate him) Is there bigger faces out there in wrestling besides The Rock?

The Ravishing One 09-11-2006 02:16 PM

No one bigger than the Rock imo. Face or Heel.

You know, I really can't think of any now that you mention it. :shifty:

El Fangel 09-11-2006 02:27 PM

I had put Stone Cold down but reconsidered because I think of him as more of a neutral, he was a heel, but did face type things, Micheals, was sort of the bigger face, and so was Bret, but that was awhile ago, but still I give credit as due, and I said arguably the biggest face in the industry for The Rock, its that IMO he is/was.

OverTaker 09-11-2006 03:07 PM

Kurt Angle also

The One 09-11-2006 03:40 PM

The Rock = Best when he was face...

Stone Cold - Best face ever...

Bret Hart & HBK = Not even in Rocky or Austin's leauge...

Y2Jeremy 09-11-2006 04:07 PM

Rock was great all the time, but as a heel, he could not be touched.

Tb1 09-11-2006 04:07 PM

Heel Rock. Mid-late '99

Tb1 09-11-2006 04:07 PM

*'98

The Rock was better as a heel. He was at his best when he trash talked the fans.

Dave Youell 09-12-2006 11:43 AM

The Rock was best whenever Austin was doing to opposite, as they had great chemistry against each other.

Agreed. Thats why the Wrestlemania 15 and 17 Main events were so memorable, they pitted Rock vs Austin. And the fans loved it, the 17 one seemed like a repeat of the Hogan/Warrior face/face match to me, until Austin did the most unasumming heel turn I have seen.

Rammsteinmad 09-12-2006 06:32 PM

Rock was great as both, but more fun as a heel.

ron the dial 09-12-2006 06:38 PM

He was just so god damn charismatic he could play either role beautifully. A tough decision, but I'm going to have to go with face.

RVDmark 09-12-2006 07:10 PM

Lol Rockylover vs Takerlover, we have our own fued.

Crippla 09-12-2006 07:27 PM

Obviously a face.

CYCLOPTERSAURUS 09-12-2006 09:15 PM

Heel Rock. I HATED face Rock.

Crippla 09-12-2006 09:19 PM

He really was over though. I liked his comeback as a heel in 2003 or so.

DominateR 09-13-2006 03:39 PM

To me it was right down the middle, he was excellent on the mic whether ya liked him one minute and hated him the next, or vice-versa, but i think the funniest heel rock was definitely late '02 Rock...but thats just me...

Volare 09-14-2006 01:51 AM

It was all about the Fuckin Nation!

.44 Magdalene 09-14-2006 02:14 AM

Quick, somebody make a CriticLover screenname. I want to be in on this action.

Tb1 09-14-2006 06:49 AM

Dearly, trailer park trash. We are gathered here tonight to celebrate the loss of the biggest foul mouth, beer swilling, finger gesturing piece of monkey crap that has ever graced - god's green earth.

Funny how The Rock wasn't there in late '02. He came back as heel Rock to face Hogan @ No Way Out '03

Impact! 09-14-2006 09:58 AM

It's hard to decide. The Rock was great as a face, but his return run as a heel was a thing of beauty. I especially liked his mini fued with the Hurricane ^_^

jcmoorehead 09-14-2006 10:50 AM

Whatever he was the Rock was awesome, his last Heel turn was brilliant though especially when on the guitar. He just had this way of making anything he said brilliant. I'll say he was best as a face but only marginally.

The Naitch 09-15-2006 07:01 PM

Heel Rock

Face Rock made me cringe at times. But at the same token, face Rock was huge in the right doses

The Naitch 09-15-2006 07:02 PM

like if Rock was face for 2 months then vanishes again for Hollywood (ie Summer of 2002) it is great. But in 2001 (he was face for too long. HE never even had his revenge program against Austin ONE ONE ONE as opposed to the Survivor Series mele) he was too watered down as a face

The Naitch 09-15-2006 07:03 PM

and that's coming from the biggest Rock fan on tpww.net; The Naitch

In the WM19 match between the two, the Eock Concert he did on RAW slagging off Austin was hiliarious.

2003 Heel Rock just showed how good he is. He took his stale face character (which the fans booed him for) and turned into a top heel straight away.

.44 Magdalene 09-16-2006 04:12 PM

Well, I can't very well be my OWN CriticLover, so I guess that excludes me.

I think people were booing him cos he had left to do films not because he was stale. It started against Lesnar at SummerSlam 02 before he left and was increased when he returned with his Hollywood gimmick.

I was never a fan of The Rock up until this period. He was funny now-and-again before this run, but this was his high point for hilarity!

I recently watched Backlash 02, Rock's interview before facing Goldberg had me in stitches.

So yeah, Heel Rock -- You should have done a poll really!
