SELL HIM AS A FACE AND YOU WILL GET TICKET SALES AND BASICALLY THE SECOND COMING OF THE ROCK!! Okay, maybe that second thing is a little far fetched right now, but the tickets will surely sell if the marks have a viable reason to want to see Kennedy, don't you think? And I'm sorry, but SD is in some NEED of face main eventers, and from the look of things, Kennedy has gone through all the SD faces, anyway (is this starting to sound like MY personal campaign to turn Kennedy face coming back up again? If it is, then GOOD!!).

It's his heel persona that the fans are rallying behind, though. If they try to make him sound like a good guy--stop being the overconfident prick that we all know and love--then he's going to lose the support of the fans. He'll be watered down and generic and, holy shit, be Smackdown's John Cena (minus Superman Syndrome). It's not like he's totally heel to the max right now anyway... he's just a dick. It's entertaining. Consider him an anti-hero.
Also, why does Smackdown need main event faces...? Batista, 'Taker... how many main event
heels are there, exactly?

You realize he's getting
paid to be annoying, right? It was obnoxious from the beginning... because he's a
fucking heel. It's not likely to "never change," it was a King of the Ring shtick and it'll get dropped as soon as they come up with a better idea. In the mean time, don't assume fans are tired of a heel gimmick just because they're... wait, booing?

Yet, whoever was the fucktard that gave the WWE the reason to keep him heel won over with Vince, and BAM!! We get a stale gimmick.

Big Show did that most of his career, not "for a little while." Don't kid yourself, Khali as a face would be entertaining for about ten minutes, and then he'd be just as stale as he is as a heel. He's still Khali, and he's still on RAW. It's just gonna suck no matter what the fuck you do with it.
