Who Do You Think Should Have A Heel/Face Turn?

[Iwantwrestlingback!]

Okay well the title doesn't explain everything here so here are the questions.

#1. Who do you think should have a heel/face turn?

#2. What would you do with that heel/face turn to make Raw/Smackdown something you want to tune into to watch?

I really think they should have Sheamus switch back to a heel. I mean I think he was a great heel and I know they have been giving him this huge face push but I like him better as a heel.

I think they should have Sheamus get a #1 contender match against Randy Orton (I kinda sick of seeing Henry vs. Orton but I don't know who else Smackdown will really use) and have Sheamus lose then the next week have him challenge for a rematch but not for the #1 contender spot and have orton win again. Then the next week have Sheamus face Christian and have him lose that which will just set Sheamus off and have him just destroy Christian by putting him through announce table or something then later when Orton is done winning his match have Sheamus come out and just demolish Orton and put him through another table and beat on him with a chair. This would be an easy heel turn now then have him just be his heel self that can win and lose and not just win easy all the time. IMO

What do you guys think?

I would have the turn John Morrison Heel.
He was great on the mic back when he was with Miz. He can pull of the Sexy Boy heel, sort of like HBK had back in the day. Morrison is so talented, but he isn't going any where with this face thing he has right now. He was amazing as a heel in ECW, he was a multi-time tag team champion, Intercontinental Champion, and ECW champion as a heel.... and get this, he was entertaining.

If John M. dosen't turn heel soon, he may be sitting at home with Melina.

When they turn him heel, I could see him rivaling with Randy Orton and Sheamus and CM Punk. He can go to SD! and easily be a World Champion.

I would turn Randy Orton heel. Why? He's just too stale as a face. I think Orton's the obvious choice for everyone here and I can totally see a babyface Sheamus vs a Heel Randy Orton feud being gold. "The Great White" Vs "The Viper". In my opinion that's a Wrestlemania worthy main event. But Orton just got super over with the young crowd so I just don't see it happening.

As for who I would turn face I'm gonna go with a not so popular pick and say Jack Swagger. If you've seen his OVW days under his real name Jake Hager you'd know why he would make a good babyface :


Other than those two I think the roster is pretty good right now and no one else is in need of a turn.

john cena!!!!!

this would be perfect leading up to Mania!!!! hAve Cena screw the rock at survivor series and then keep the fire burning until Mania time! I can see it now, Cena and Rock are the lasts one left then Boom! Cena hits Rock with a FU (i refuse to call it the aa) and lays him out flat for Christian or another heel get the pin. I can see all the Cena fans with there mouths wide open and the rock fans just booing him out of the building!!! This would bring such a fresh air feeling to the WWE, becuase i dont think wrestling fans want to see superman Cena break the 16 time record. I think if Cena goes heel then he can do alot more than just hogging up the spotlight as champion !

 

[The Harlem Heat]

Orton's gimmick is so well suited to a heel. The unexplainable rage, the 'voices' even his entrance music is very heel. His physco persona worked perfectly when he was the legend killer, and he was a brilliant heel. I came back to watching wrestling this WM after a few years out and was shocked when he came out to cheers, despite having the same persona/gimmick. But as it is he is very over with children and fans so I highly doubt a heel change will come soon, as much as it needs to.

 

[Iwantwrestlingback!]

I knew there would be alot of Orton choices but like you all have said Orton is to over with the little kids to go heel again. Also the Cena choice would be awesome but I don't see vince turning him heel as long as he gets good money from him being a face. But you never know since he isn't the #1 Merch seller anymore this could be the perfect time for him to go heel. Then vince would still have his #1 Merch Seller CM Punk there to become the top face of the company. I think CM Punk could be a great top guy since he doesn't technically have to be a complete face to get over with the fans he just goes in there wrestles and speaks his mind and he is over with the fans. IMO

I think Miz should turn face. He's a very awesome heel, but his character has face potential.

The Miz, being a cruiserweight, would probably be suited to being a Cena esque underdog (but doing it more believably than Cena). Make him a "little guy with a big mouth" who isn't afraid to talk smack and get his ass kicked for it.

I would have Miz & R-Truth continue to do what they're doing, with Miz continuing to make appearances on TV. They would make their "official" returns as Surprise entrants in a Battle Royal on RAW to determine the #1 contender to the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble PPV. They would spend the majority of their time in the match singling out one guy (maybe someone like Ryder, Morrison, or Riley) and ganging up on him, until miscommunication leads to Miz accidentally eliminating Truth. This leads to tension between the two until until R-Truth turns on The Miz, having resented him this whole time because of all of his media work. Because of Miz's Sirius radio show and other endeavors, Truth had developed the insane belief that Miz was in on the con-spiracy all along. The two of them have a short feud in which Miz comes out on top.

Somewhere down the line, I would have Miz feud with Vickie's stable. Miz loses a series of matches against both Ziggler & Swagger. Eventually Miz is on the receiving end of a two on one beat down, and Alex Riley runs out to chase Vickie's boys off. Then Teddy Long comes out and does Teddy says, "Hold on there playas! The four of you will be competing in a tag team match!" There is tension between Miz & Riley as they each don't trust the other to have their back. Miz & Riley win the tag team match main event, and realize they like teaming together and officially reunite (Like a DX-esque super face team), debuting a new mash-up theme song (Riley's theme with Miz's AWESOME randomly thrown in). The two of them however, keep their individual singles pushes, with Riley working the midcard and Miz continuing to chase world titles. For the most part they mostly stay away from the tag division, only teaming together in main event tag matches.

I agree with most posts. John Morrison NEEDS a heel turn. He's played this character for how long now?

In my opinion Triple H should "Fire" him, so he can do a drastic heel turn. And join the Survivor Series team in November. This would be the perfect senerio for Morrison.

If not...Bye Bye.

Cena turning heel is a no-brainer
Morrison turning heel is a no-brianer also. Both a way boring and cannot do any further to develop their character.

Undertaker returning as a heel, now that would be fine. He has been face for a klong time now and everybody with an even casual awareness of wrestlnig know he is a selfish, money hungry performer who only comes around to get the mega paydays. So why not embrace this, why not have Undertaker as Mark Callaway for the final part of his career, ramming down the throats of us, the paying fan, who have feathered his nest for 21 years and it is us who allow him to take all this time off as he doesnt need the little pay offs, just turns up and collects the big pay day. Would be a perfect way to go into Wrestlemania 28 as the obnoxious heel, and have an opponent like one of the hard working guys who have come up through the independants, like a MITB cashing in Daniel Bryan. Sure on paper the match sounds like an easy Taker win, but strip it down to Danielsson vs Callaway with the under dog coming out on top...perfect fairytale booking. Undertaker could return as face and beat Mark Henry for the WHC around the Rumble, andslowly evolve his character ito the obnoxious heel I referred to earlier. No-showing Smackdown and only next appearing at the Elimination Chamber ppv in Feb. Has amazing legs for a great program with Punk also.....think about it,.

As far as turning anybody face, the Sheamus turn is complete. No other heel really stands out to me of being a successful face.

Mason Ryan!!!

I think turning Mason Ryan into a heel will give much credibility to his character as an unstoppable force. I would suggest to have him take the same route that Brock Lesnar took when he was starting. Giving him a heel manager in the process should allow him to be the Next Big Thing that we want him to be. I suggest they give him either of the three: Michael Cole, Vince Russo (I heard they took him out in TNA so why don't they bring him back not as a Head Writer but an on-cam personality) or you can also have him as an enforcer for John Laurenaitis. Vicki Guerrero's a good heel manager but I was surprised that they made him turn on her during their match with Air Born. I would love to see him destroy Air Born and make him an Unstoppable Force but it's never too late. We can still have him turn heel and betray the faces of WWE in the process. Helping Vicki's team to win.

 

[HKnux5112]

Cena will not turn heel for a long time. We all know this deep down.

The person I truly want to turn heel is Shaemus. He's pretty decent, but I really liked him better as the "bad" guy. I mean, he was truly a great 'top' heel of the company back when. Lot's of heat for him. Loved it.

I really want to see Dolph turn face. This guy can wrestle, and damn he's not boring on the mic at all. It would be entertaining and we can have a fresh face to compete for the WWE Championship.

 

[WcWMondayNitro]

If there is anyone who needs a heel turn it should be John Cena. His character is outdated and there is very little character development. I do not see this happening anytime soon though. Besides that, Cena's heel turn should be unpredictable and ground-shaking. I am not really sure how that could be accomplished. Could Cena be involved in the conspiracy angle somehow? Anyways, I do not think this heel turn should take place against the Rock at WM28. In fact, the Rock is the one who should be portrayed as a heel in the match. He left the WWE and only cared for himself and not the fans.

Another one who needs a heel turn is Randy Orton. As many of you who've already said it already, Orton's character as face is kind of boring. I liked him much better when he was feuding with Triple H in 2009.

 

[Krossbreed]

John Morrison needs to be a heel, a frustrated heel who cant take it anymore he ditches his old theme music, and makes his music more about self love. He goes for a pretty boy boy toy gimic being adored by the women and plays to the women in the crowd saying,,,,when was the last time you had a man with a body like this (like rick rude), he calls other wrestlers fat...completely obnoxious... back stage segments sneaking up on big show, been to the gym lately fat guy...heres a suggestion for u....eat in less portions... he gets a female manager and Tyler Reks as an enforcer to ensure his rise to the wwe title with an eventual tyler reks face turn as soon as morrison starts believing he never needed his help...

I will answer the o.p. question but I needed to say something about this too. Are you crazy? The reason why The Undertaker only performs a couple of times a year has a lot more to do with the fact that he gets injured a lot, why? because of the amount of bumps the guy has taken over the years, he probably should have retired years ago but keeps on working. He is hugley respected in the lockeroom by all of the wrestlers and is viewed very much as a leader and wise old head and now that HBK is retired Im pretty sure that he is the longest serving in ring performer in the WWE. To suggest the guy is selfish and greedy is so far wide of the mark its amazing (plus presenting it as a fact that "everyone knows!") I hope he retires this year so he doesnt tarnish his image and legacy, if they cant get Sting then I would love to see him sign off against either Kane or one of Foley's characters, preferrably as a face. (Taker that is)
I would like to see something done with JoMo, but he has zero personailty so a heel turn with a manager is what is required. Maybe he could join Vickie's stable. Turn Swagger in the other direction. My final nomination would be Big Show, I just feel he works better as bullying heel. Let him finish up the programme with Mark Henry and then have him on RAW destroying some of the smaller guys and being a scary guy again.

 

[Italian Ice]

I can't see Cena turning heel...or if he did, it would be a temporary thing, a la Shawn Michaels in his feud with Hulk...I think that a JoMo heel turn is absolutely necessary...he is getting nowhere fast and now getting squashed by ADR in one minute matches...Someone mentioned Miz turning face...that would be quite interesting but I don't see it happening quite yet.

On Smackdown, I don't see Randy turning heel anytime soon...if anything, he may move into a tweener role...I think we saw a hint of this during one of his matches with Cody Rhodes...I'd say the person most likely to turn heel would be Daniel Bryan...give him intensity like Chris Benoit (well not quite that much) and throw him into a feud with Orton or a top face.

I think Dolph or Swagger will eventually turn face...I really like Dolph's mic skills and I think Swagger has potential as a babyface.

 

[Dragonslayer]

I will agree with John Morrison going heel - as we all know his mic skills are very limited, and it's just easier to pull off being a heel than being a face. Plus, his advantage is that he is still pretty over with the crowd as a face right now, and the more over as a face he is, the more effective a heel turn will be. So WWE should not waste too much time with this; either they try to build him up a little longer as a face before they turn him (in which case they would desperately need to stop jobbing him out to everyone on the roster), or they should capitalize right now... but if they keep booking him the way they have lately, he'll lose a lot of steam with the crowd.

As for a face turn: Miz is inevitable here I think. People are already beginning to half-cheer him now, even though he's a full-fledged heel. The turn shouldn't come too soon, though... but I imagine that when it comes, it will work big time.

And of course Cena needs some change, as we all know, but I also think it won't happen any time soon... I'd personally have him turn on Rock after their match at WM28, beating down on him heavily and moving on as a heel from there. But even this scenario is somehow unlikely at this point.

 

[Kuroneko]

I agree with TempestH, The Miz. But i also think that original Sin Cara should turn heel.

The Current Cara VS Cara Fued isnt doing much for audiences, imagine if they teamed up and went for the tag team titles. Maybe it would only work for a week, but it sounds better then what they are currently doing now.

 

[Viggo]

I think Daniel Bryan should turn heel. I haven't seen him win a match since MITB, so I can see this happening soon. Also, Justin LaBar mentioned it on Chair Shot reality a few weeks ago. Bryan cashes in the briefcase at WM 28, loses, and this provides the impetus for him turning heel. He becomes twice as aggressive and starts playing dirty. I didn't see him much on ROH, but I've read in other forums that he was great as a heel. I would have him feud with Orton if both of them stay on Smackdown. I just wonder though, is he going to continue to lose until Wrestlemania or will he surprise everyone and cash in the briefcase before WM?
