He has charisma, and I think a heel change will cast off the vanilla from being a face. By being a face, he lost much street cred, and that is the whole part of his gimmick that got him over in the first place.

It's not the fact that he's a face, it's the fact that he's been toned down as a face. his freestyles aren't quality or provocative anymore, his rassling sure doesn't pick up the pace, and his catchphrase "Choke on deeeeez nutz" is annoying as shit.

Personally, I think he could be mad over, even as a face. He just needs to be that sorta Austin-esque character who doesn't really care who's "face" or "heel," and who does what he wants. He's not exactly a face, but he's not really a heel, but still a little more overtly face (because he's obviously appealing to the fans).
