Potential wall of text, if you don't wish to read all, please pop in your thoughts on scrapping the heel/face dynamic, if you think it could(n't) work etc. I want to know what others think
I've been pondering this for a long time, this whole heel / face BS is really the main thing I find wrong with the WWE as a whole these days.
Why do you have to have heels/faces all the time?
Why do you need heel turns/face turns?
What is the point of it all?
I don't know if it is because I am now older or what, but this whole dynamic looks increasingly pathetic to me.
In order to get The Shield "over" as "heels" they had them attack all the "faces" and it just looks plain and simply forced.
I don't think they needed to do it for people to get interested in them at all, they should have attacked everyone and everything they wanted to.
The Rock Vs John Cena II wasn't a great match in my eyes, but it just proved you didn't have to turn Cena heel for him to get a reaction.
Same as HBK Vs Undertaker, Undertaker Vs HHH, didn't need a heel/face dynamic.
Ziggler was over huge Monday, didn't look like a "heel" win to me either. It was someone doing what they wanted to (and could) do, to win the championship.
In other aspects of the show. JBL does a great job as an alternative commentator, he isn't excactly a heel, he just says counter points to other views and has fun doing it, he isn't being annoying or trying to wind people up and he is the best commentator sitting at that table these days.
I wasn't at all interested in the Cole Vs Lawler crap of not too long ago, it was absolute rubbish. Cole being annoying doesn't make me tune into a show to see if he gets beaten, it makes me turn over.
Same as Vickie, Heel GM, why? I hate her, I mute or change the channel when she comes out. Does a GM really need to behave either good or bad? Heel or Face GMs? A waste of time, stupid and sometimes a reason to not watch at all.
I could reel off more examples, Orton when he was with Legacy Vs HHH and Family, wasn't excactly Heel Vs Face, the revenge storyline made it a good storyline, it didn't need heel/face garbage it could have just been natural.
Let's face it, we don't need heels/face we just need good storylines.
I wouldn't call Mark Henry's current character Heel either, he's just a big strong guy who wants to win things and beat people, he doesn't do any pathetic to get himself "over as a heel" he's just a mean guy doing what he does and it works.
