Gimmicks that couldn't have possibly worked with a different alignment.
Basically, what the thread states. Name gimmicks where it couldn't have worked if the guy given the gimmick was the opposite of what he was.
Example: IRS could NEVER work as a face. EVER. The Bushwackers gimmick is not conducive for being a heel team(unless they are on Family Matters). Ironically, it's impossible for their run as the Sheepherders to work as faces. list your own examples. ![]() = ![]() "KARA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Question Mark.

I'm not so sure a Funkasaurus could be a heel. I would love to see it tried, though.

Powers of Pain w/ Mr. Fuji. All faces protecting the likes of Hulk Hogan from dastardly run-ins! And with the oft unused FACE manager to boot!
Also, Nailz. He actually wouldn't have worked at all without Bossman being around, since that was the whole point. |

I think Nailz could have worked without Bossman. I'm pretty sure Crush did a similar gimmick. Probably not the best babyface though, I'll give you that.

ECW not included, I don't think "Ravishing" Rick Rude would make for a good face.

If Andre the Giant were a midget I think he would have still had a similar gimmick.

any heel gimmick can work as a babyface with the right opponent/villain. Not so much the other way.

Clarence Mason was a lawyer. Don't know if he would have gotten too many cheers as a face.

Bushwhackers were heels in the AWA I think. But they had a different name which escapes me at this very moment, but were essentially the same thing, just more vicious brawling types.

Didn't Ricardo throw a bucket of "water" on someone recently but it turned out to be confetti. Or maybe it was Santino? I remember this happening recently. Very Doink-like.

I'm convinced that if The Fabulous Rougeaus were not cheating and were facing heel tag teams, they would have been faces because most fans would have not gotten the joke.

Eugene would not have worked as a heel. So much so that they realized this and abandoned his heel turn after one week.

He did do the confetti in the bucket thing though, to Big Show.

Ryan Clark as a face. I'm shocked it hadn't been posted earlier.

Damien Sandow really doesn't seem like he could have debuted as a face.

Pretty much any gimmick that involved the dude being in love with himself unless your a guy that is so over the top like Tyler Breeze.

I'm pretty sure this is about gimmicks that wouldn't work with opposite alignment, not workers.

I guess that could be said with with Abdullah the Butcher, Bruiser Brody, or any of the Moondogs as a face. I could never see Tommy Dreamer or DDP (post WCW) as a heel. DDP even got a huge pop when he revealed himself as the stalker of another man's wife, that's not something easily done

I don't believe the headbangers would ever have worked as a heel team. They were too happy-go-lucky and that seems to resonate much more with a face team.
