Raziel Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This one is hard to answer because you have guys that could be decent heels but the crowd wouldn't/won't allow it, and you have guys that half-assed it, but there are probably plenty of guys that could work heel even if they were predominantly face. But I'm pretty sure the ultimate answer to this question is Bruno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 David and Kerry Von Erich's Florida heel run was not the best...I assume it was done to make them more well-rounded in preparation for becoming World Title candidates but they were just natural babyfaces...

Rotunda was never in the York Foundation with Morton and Rich. It was Terry Taylor with them. My biggest problem with them, especially Morton is that he still wore his R&R Express gear. If your new gimmick is a corporate yuppie, you shouldn't still have a mullet or wearing bandanas and tassels. Aside from Alexandra York with her lawyer porn look, Terry Taylor was the only one that looked the part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept the mullet, but him and Rich wore matching gear that kind of resembled leather chaps over acid-washed spandex. It was not a good look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says corporate like leather chaps and acid washed tights. I always felt like Morton half-assed the turn. Dude didn't even bother to tie his hair back. To paraphrase what you said, nothing says corporate like a dude with a souithern-accent with long blonde hair down to his waist. Morton's hairstyle was out of control then. He could at least worn a ponytail if he wasn't going to cut it. 1 hour ago, mattdangerously said: They made Rich's ass look huge. I don't think it was the chaps so much as i was the fact that Rich's ass was huge at the time. Basically, those were two guys seriously wrong for their gimmick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was just a slight grudge and they went to Shea. If there was a real Italy vs. Puerto Rico war it could have gone on for a year with big business. Perez, Rivera, Denucci, Parisi and keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whenever some idiot tried a heel turn for Goldberg or Sting it was garbage. He was a heel during his last run in the E. I'm going to add votes for Steamboat and Santana, I don't think those could ever be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy could just do no wrong at that point. Tajiri actually turned heel on Rey Mysterio not long afterwards and formed Kyo Dai. I think maskless Mysterio cosplaying Kenny from Oz was definitely capable of being a heel, and he basically was when they were doing the No Limit Soldiers bullshit against the West Texas Rednecks. The only time he was officially heel was during the New Blood period, and not for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
