So the Undertaker better as a heel? You bet yourself...lets take a look at it!
The gimmick
So Undertakers gimmick is of an undead man, from Death Valley who sends people to hell, who killed his family in a fire and horrendously scarred his little brother.
How is that a face gimmick? Erm it's because of who he is that he's a face, a guy who has been there for a long time, the crowd hardly see him with his few months of a year run at wrestling...great!
The reigns
First title, defeated Hulk Hogan...heel
Second title, defeated Sid...heel
Third title, defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin...heel
There we have Undertakers three biggest reigns, all were won as a heel.
The ministry
The ministry was arguably the best thing Undertaker did, why? He was a heel. He was sadistic, sacrificing WWE superstars, whilst some of the crowd cheered him, you have to remember this was the attitude era, the crowd cheered the heel DX for goodness sake.
There's more to follow, but I thought I'd give LJL a lil taster
1. While it may be true that the Undertaker's past and him scarring his little brother would be fitting for a heel character, why was it that Kane was a heel when he debuted? Maybe if they had enough faith in Undertaker being a heel during that angle, then maybe things would have been different. I feel the storyline went just as fine with Undertaker being a face and their Wrestlemania match proves it. How would the match have gone if Undertaker was a heel and Kane was a face? Who knows and it doesn't seem like Kane would be the kind of person you want to cheer? He displayed some of the same supernatural powers Undertaker is claimed to have and wouldn't that be fitting of a heel as well?
I don't even remember Undertaker beating Stone Cold for the title but that's neither here nor there.
3. How many heels do you know that can take months off at a time and come back and still get booed. Not many I can tell you that much. HHH was one of the best heels in 2001 and got cheered when he came back. It is much easier to become face after leaving as a heel or a face then to come back a heel after being a heel. The crowd pines for the Undertaker after a while without wrestling and when he comes back, they all cheer. Only the fans who feel like he should be doing more will boo him.
