jstout Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 When was Steamboat a heel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ok, that brought another question to mind: We know that at some point, Sting, Warrior, and Steamboat all worked heel, for ever how short. Has there been anyone that worked in the top Territories/Classic Big 3/Modern Big 2 that only ever worked heel. No face run for them, just straight heel for their entire career? Honky Tonk Man? He was a face when he started in WWE. As big as Elvis, VKM thought. Presumably, most of the classic "ugly" heels were prob never faces, the French Angel/Rondo Hatten types.

Ultimo Necro Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Didn't Typhoon explain his turn along the lines of "Hogan never thanked me for telling kids to send him cards while he was out?" I have little memory of this as a kid, in my mind he just stopped being Tugboat and started hanging around with Earthquake for no particular reason. That being said, if they ever decide to turn Kofi, this is the way to do it. "Cena never thanked me for telling kids to send him cards (for the week and a bit) he was out".

Dre013 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 When was Steamboat a heel? Probably referring to ROH, and he really wasn't a heel... Just the sight of him bringing his son to ringside wearing the Lil Dragon outfit would make him a troll heel these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wayne Ferris was also a babyface in Southeastern/Alabama. I don't think Dennis Condrey was ever a babyface but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 After Tugboat turned into Typhoon, I think he made mention of him organizing a letter writing campaign for Hogan when he got hurt by Earthquake, but that Hogan didn't do jack when Tugboat got taken out. At least I think it was after he became Typhoon. It was definitely before he became the Shockmaster though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been anyone that worked in the top Territories/Classic Big 3/Modern Big 2 that only ever worked heel. No face run for them, just straight heel for their entire career? Honky Tonk Man? Honky started out as a face in WWF. Also, to answer a previous question, I think Steamboat was a heel for a week in TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evidence Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They seemed to be setting up a Steamboat heel turn in TNA before he left. He decided to give Ron Killings a shot at the NWA title against Ken Shamrock when Killings convinced Steamboat that race was the reason why he didn't get a shot at the WWF title after winning the IC title. During the title match, Steamboat is on commentary and talks about how he was passed over for the WWF World title but I'm sure that's the last week he appears in NWA-TNA.

SirSmUgly Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Was Tully ever a face? If you count his Heroes of Wrestling PPV spot, yes. Actually, he was a really good face on that show and cut an awesome promo on Stan Lane. I'm pretty sure Tully was a face in ECW, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffman Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The way I remember the Tugboat-to-Typhoon turn, Tugboat attacked the Bushwhackers on WWF Superstars when he was teaming with them in a 6-man match against Earthquake and the Nasty Boys. The following Monday on Prime Time Wrestling (which was into its studio audience phase at the time), Sean Mooney repeatedly introduced Tugboat (complete with entrance music) to get his side of the story, but Tugboat never appeared. Finally, Jimmy Hart and Earthquake arrived, Jimmy called out for "Typhoon," and he appeared in his new heel Typhoon attire. At the very end of their last segment, Mooney made mention of Hogan and Typhoon started ranting about how he was always there for Hogan, but Hogan was never there for him. Anyway, the whole deal was that Jimmy Hart wanted a second tag team to protect the Nasty Boys' run as tag champions (I think), but the Nasties turned face and the Natural Disasters were Jimmy's new top team. Then the Disasters broke away and turned face themselves at some point. All I really remember with certainty is that Earthquake and Typhoon's Hasbro figures were sturdy, durable, and virtually unstoppable in my land of wrestling figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Did Tugboat actually turn on Hogan and wrestle him as Typhoon? I can't remember what caused the transformation between the two He attacked Hogan during a SNME battle royal, then during Superstars, turned on the Bushwackers in a six man against Quake and the Nasties. Next week, he was Typhoon and tagging with Quake. Tugboat went after Hogan in the 91 Rumble too. Hogan-Typhoon had one singles match on a Coliseum tape where Hogan squashed him in about five minutes.

cool arrow Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Abdullah was a face in WCW in 1990. Pretty sure Scott Irwin was always a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
