Not sure if this will quite work but the idea is that someone comes up with a wrestler and makes a case for them being either a better heel or a better face, then another person who feels the oppisite is true can make their case however if the second person agrees with the first person then we move onto the next wrestler which that person will choose and argue for. Try and make them quite interesting so for example if your one of the few people who think that Randy Orton makes a better face then that could provide an interesting debate. If it doesn't quite work out we can at least have a fun debate!
I will go first with a fairly safe choice and put Booker T forward as a better face than heel. Althrough in Harlem Heat he made a better heel if you look at his singles career which lets face it made up most of his career than I would say he had his greatest success as a face and was most over when playing that role.
His natural charasma and bubbling trash talking always seem to pop the crowd up and his high risk ring style ans mixture of high kicks and brawling made him a very liverly and eye catching performer. In WCW he really started to get good crowd reactions during his Television Title feuds with the likes of Rick Martel, Perry Saturn and Finley as well as his criticially acclaimed best of seven series with the late Chris Benoit. The people really seem to respect his down to earth natural character and his energy in the ring, however it was later in WWE Where this was combined to great effect with his more character driven catch phase face run. Booker also showed during this period how adapt he was at working with a number of different guys this was never more so true than with the effective odd couple tag partneship with Goldust, the pair were very over, entertaining and their rise to tag title glory was truly compelling. His stint in TNA never got off the ground as either face or heel.
At times Booker has been a effective heel for example in his entertaining King Booker run but overall he just seem more at ease as a face and that is when he really had that connection with the fans.
So Booker T Better Heel or Better Face?
