He was a fantastic heel, I definitely disagree with you there. He certainly got more heat than he gets cheers as a face. Fuck, I love Morrison, but lets be honest here, nobody gave a flying fuck about him until the Sheamus and Miz feuds at the end of last year. He was about as over as Chris Masters. He's not a bad face, but he'd be a much better heel.

No, he's really not. His ECW promos were bad. They're better than most of his "flying tree" dross but really that's not saying much.

And this whole "Nobody who does flips can be a heel!" myth is so ridiculous. AJ Styles did it to perfection years ago, you just make the guy an extremely cocky and arrogant heel who wants to prove he's the best, so high-risk moves come with the territory.

The TNA crowd is completely different to a WWE crowd. Not just because of the size differences, but because the TNA crowd is the same one every week. We've all heard the complaints about the iMPACT Zone fans and the Cancer Crew. And while a guy CAN get flips booed, (Gabriel was and is doing it with his 450 splash) it's a hell of a lot harder than it is with a more grounded moveset, which Morrison lacks.

And look at how heels generally act in a match. They slow down the pace and stop the face from doing exciting moves. The exact opposite of what Morrison's moveset does.

Have him celebrate like crazy after a high-risk move like he just cured cancer and the crowd will boo him. It's not rocket science, moveset is truly irrelevant to face or heel alignment.

Then why have the only "high fliers" in WWE that were heels (that I can remember at least) were also insanely charismatic? I.e. HBK and Eddie Gurrerro. It's not an opinion that the crowd pops for high spots. Look at how the Hardyz (Jeff, mostly) got over, how Sin Cara's getting over, how Rey Mysterio got over, how Justin Gabriel got over on NXT and how Evan Bourne got over.

High fliers can be over as heels, but you're fighting against their fast paced, exciting moveset.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I can't wait for the "WWE is racist" thread to resurface.

JoMo incorporated his high flying stuff into his heel routine. It wasn't hard all he did was look at the crowd with delight or taunt before or after hitting the move. He used the chuck kick, the starship pain and that awesome spin kick reversal.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Biggest Pops:

1: Sin Cara
2: Jim Ross
3: Randy Orton

Mixed:

1: Cena
2: Miz
3: Punk

Heat:

1: Vickie/The Queen (I shit you not)
2: Cole/R-Truth
3: Primo (Seriously. He worked the crowd really well.)

Also, Dolph has a new haircut, I just about killed everyone around me when Miz came out, Truth was booed out of the building (may hear me shout 'I still like you Truth') and Cena got so many duelling fans it hurt my head. Oh yeah and the vast majority of the audience knew who Kong was.

 

[X]

Sounds like a great show man, I'm excited to watch this.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

My first live experience and I was shocked by just how good it was. Seriously though, when your biggest dissapointments are no Dniel Bryan/Zach Ryder and Dolph's new haircut, that says something. I think I scared several small children when JR came out. I just about shit myself due to not expecting him there.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Truth is actually a pretty decent heel, I've seen some of his TNA work during their infancy

3 QUESTIONS:
Does Zigglers haircut work?
Was Truths turn effective?
Did Sin Cara botch his entrance?

Yeah, that's where he got the whole "Truth" gimmick from. I liked him alot in TNA as a heel and as champion.

Shit this is actually kind of cool. R-Truth as a heel could really put a spark under his ass and make him interesting again.

Did Sin Cara botch his entrance?

1: Not really no. He looked like a cocky douche with the blonde hair, now he just looks like a skin-head douche.

2: Yeah. It was actually.

3: No surprisingly.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I'm actually excited for r-truth

Idc who wins to much, Rhodes win at WM was huge.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

It'd be nice to see him go over fully from the angle and get a big push towards the upper part of the card.
