Abby and Brody were and have worked as faces.

From what I've heard, Ricky Steamboat never turned heel. They sold him as a family man fighting against the party boy Ric Flair. I wonder what a heel run would look like though. A cocky HBK heel or a true blue Kurt Angle are likely examples but not a badass HHH type.

I had a thought The Undertaker has always been gray in the alignment area outside of significant gimmick changes(biker taker and Ministry) at his core he's not really a good or bad guy.

I think he may have once in ROH, as a heel authority figure. What's really crazy is if you consider his real name is as heelish as it gets: Richard Blood.

Now matter how many times it's been attempted in TNA and WCW, Heel Sting Just. Doesn't. Work.

Granted in TNA the idea was that he was a face all along and his actions were attempts to warn people of the real evil.

He went around being a cryptic dick about it but it's justified in that he couldn't let the real heels know he was onto them,shit A TNA story I actually understood.

TNA reflects a world gone mad on a schizophrenic blend of nonsensical booking, MMA cameos, and Panda energy drink.

HHH when he was in DX and doing "Suck it are u ready break it down" and all the dirty jokes was cool and funny and made for a very marketable face. As a badass heel, he was full on nasty and stood in the way of top guys and created some pretty cool feuds. When he's a face and not telling dirty jokes or the DX stuff, he can be pretty bland, like in his feud with Jericho in 2002.

Funny you say 'gray', because when he was wearing gloves of that color, he was most definitely a heel.

Locking the Ultimate Warrior in a casket was a dick move is what I'm saying.

Tbf, he did say that Taker had no alignment apart from the periods when he was clearly a face or a heel. So, pretty much always had an alignment, then.

It may be near impossible for a Muslim wrestler to debut as a face character, which is a shame since the foreign invading heel gimmick was stale even during the Attitude Era.
