Because the WWE has a hard time allowing "heels" to be cheered, they'd most likely fuck up an RVD heel turn. His attitude would have to be the exact same attitude he had in ECW for this to work. Guerrero should remain a face all the way to Mania, and they should start to build an RVD/Guerrero feud as soon as Bradshaw is out of the picture [which I'm hoping is VERY soon].

Months of buildup to a Wrestlemania finish would be logical, so I don't see it happening.
I REALLY like the idea of that. RVD/Guerrero = *boner*


You also inadvertently touched upon a very good point. The one major advantage that RVD has (that practically no other superstar has) is that he HASN"T made a "turn" since being in the company.

In other words, RVD is one of those guys who could make a 'turn' and completely start off fresh.

I also wouldn't worry too much if the fans cheer RVD as a heel. In fact - I'd argue that part of being a successful heel nowadays, is getting mixed cheers.

Think about The Rock during his 2003 heel run. Triple H from 2000 (and now). Randy Orton at current. Kurt Angle in 2002/03. The Rock during his corporate days. Shawn Michaels during his Degeneration X days. All of these are successful heels in my opinion....all of which got cheered.


The WWE shouldn't worry about 'faces' and 'heels'. All they should worry about, is maximizing one's character when the opportunity presents itself (if that makes sense).
