Which is harder?
Being a good face or being a good heel.

I say it is hard to be a good face that everyone can get behind.

It's always the heel. It's much easier to get people to hate you than to love you.

To elaborate on what Xero said- People will need new reasons to like you, but can hold a grudge for years over one thing.

For a worker, heels. The heel is usually the guy in charge in the ring, 'leading' if you will. Pretty rare a guy in his first match will ever be a heel. Probably a different story 'at the top' though. With how quick the turnover of talent is nowadays and the small window of opportunity guys get, connecting with the audience and getting over as a babyface is pretty important and harder to do than really getting over as a heel.

I mean in getting over. I mean a good heel seems to be a dime a dozen. Who can you name that isn't just another bland face?

I suppose a heel could always be booked to do something to get hated, say attacking a popular wrestler, to get himself over whereas we (the fans) will hate a face regardless of who the beat if we simply don't like them.

I pose a challenge.....take a look at the list of wrestlers below, and post whether you think it's easier for that wrestler to be a face or heel.

Undertaker
Shawn Michaels
CM Punk
Shelton Benjamin
Hulk Hogan
Rick Rude
Roddy Piper
The Rock
Taka Michinoku
Goldberg

Is your answer the same for all ten?

(BTW, I'm not trying to prove a point, I've stated my opinion. Just curious to see what others think...)

About The Undertaker. I never understood how a lord of darkness gimmick could work for a face wrestler, but well, it obviously does.

Its harder to keep the momentum of being a heel/face than actually being a heel or face since if you keep appearing invincible as a face, crowd begins to get bored and starts booing or stops caring. Same as a heel, if the character is too dominate or too weak, crowd begins to not even care what the heel might do and get bored.

Triple H as a heel in beginning of brand split was booed more because he was too dominate and becoming boring with the crowd than actually getting the crowd legit upset. Cena as a face with his move to RAW basically became flat since nobody was booked to be equal to him and many fans begin to see him as boring.

Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock are the two guys of my generation that were the only truly phenomenal faces.

Before that there was Bret and Shawn, and Taker transcends time

Don't really know why I posted it. I guess it's to show, "that's the standard of a really good face". You need to have something about yhou that is unique, intrinsically almost to be an incredible face.

Being a bad guy is fun. It is not hard for a lot of people, just channel your id and think dark thoughts

It's much more difficult to become an amazing face, because not only is it really tough if you're new to the industry to get crowds to love you, because you have to have tons of charisma, excellent mic work, and need to learn to develop as a superstar pretty quick in the wrestling industry today. Also, there's certain boundaries you can't cross. Being a heel, you can easily get tons of heat on yourself just by beating down a rival week after week and/or cutting promos that offend not just a rival superstar, but also all the fans who connect with them so well. Plus as a heel, in most instances, in a match you can get a cheap DQ, Pin or Count-Out by numerous sneaky methods.

It's way easier playing a heel, I would say, based on the points made above.
