The Art Of Turning Face

[thekooljt]

This is a very interesting topic. I feel that some heels should never turn face. But there are rare occasions where heels become so popular, that their face turn goes unnoticed (Roddy Piper, Stone Cold, etc). As far as Miz and ADR I am not convinced they could be good faces. As someone pointed out earlier you should build heel to become a face. For example the WWE can definitely build a face turn around Jack Swagger and have him feud with Antonio Cesaro for the United States Title (the timing is right now is perfect).

sometimes a face turn foreshadows a Championship Change. I think Rock is taking the title from Punk but if that doesn't happen how much longer can we see Punk feud with Cena or Ryback? Hell if Rocky takes the title from Punk will the Rock be a face or heel?

Or maybe they were flipped to feud with Ziggler.

Here's the thing, crowds are fucking unpredictable.

The crowd cheered with joy when Sid eliminated Hogan from the 1991 Royal Rumble, they were sick of Hogan and wanted a new face to rally behind. By they, I mean that particular group of people at that time.

The WWE isn't very creative. Becoming a face is a matter of having petty differences with a prominent heel, it doesn't matter if you're interesting or talented. Just look at The Undertaker.

Ideally, your character would only have a complete paradigm shift in reaction to a spectacular event. This concept, being too deep for the fucking morons at WWE, is abandoned for the idea that someone changed their tone for absolutely no fucking reason.

The idea of being a heel is equally pathetic in terms of the creative energy invested.

Basically Vince or one of his cronies likes you, but the crowd thinks you're a goofy red head half-assing a hackneyed move set from more talented athletes. Thus, you go out there as a heel. This way when people boo you for being fucking horrible, you can attribute that to your character getting under their skin with his dastardly ways.
