Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That's the only way to be a 100% true heel in this day and age, be a completely uninteresting character, subpar in the ring, and being a pet project of the 70 year old sociopath.

Cristobal Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 And even when that tactic manages to stumble into money (say what you want about Eva Marie, and I can say plenty, her heat was organic and real, and people genuinely, if potentially misogynistically, wanted to see her get beat up), they trip over themselves trying to recreate it, first with Emma (which was doomed to failure because the whole thing about Eva's heat was that it was centered around her being a bad wrestler and being seen a undeserving of her spot) and then again with Lana, (who is green as hell but seemed keen to improve, and at least showed competence with promos before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I still think they should've put the NXT women's title on Eva at some point - hell, she should've taken it off Bayley. Then Asuka could've nuked her into orbit and would've been babyface forever, rather than the kinda "wtf" reaction they got when Asuka beat Bayley clean.

Step one to being a heel - see what gets "this is awesome" chants. Then do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The Bucks are heels that have to be over as faces because they need the merchandise sales to earn a living. Seems to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 In yet another "late to the party" moment I just caught half of AJ/Jinder last night on Universo. Working with AJ must be like playing with Silly Putty. Working with Jinder must be like playing with a brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad she didn't come back after her suspension. Imagine Eva Marie as Ms. MITB and cashing in. The heat would have been 3-Mile Island nuclear hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, her two minute announcer intro would've given the champion plenty of time to hightail it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
