Booker T...is he better as a heel or a face?

[chessarmy]

This past thursday night on iMPACT! was Booker T's first show as a full fledged heel...how do you guys think it went? Do you like Booker better as a heel or a face? I actually enjoyed his promos on iMPACT! and I hope he stays a heel for a while.

What do you think?

as long as he isnt King Bookahhhhh he can do whatever and i'll like him

Well I didnt actually see Impact this week but Most of the time I like him as a heel. It would have been good if he stayed face a little while longer but its still good to have him as a heel...

I like Booker as a heel.

Ever since he's come to TNA I've wanted him to turn. His babyface run suited his arrival/Roode feud etc. and it was fine, but I was much more drawn to his character on last weeks iMPACT!, I think he plays the role fantastically.

Yes Heel is better for Booker but the 1 thing I didn't like was how he kept referring to himself as "royalty"...cut that out!

He is a good talent no matter what but he will be a refreshing new heel, one thing I see is that TNA has lots of big heels and I guess they're using them well. They also have future big heels like Robert Roode and James Storm.
But yeah Booker did what he had to do in TNA, come in get some talent over (Roode), then go to the main event, I wouldn't want him to win the title just yet but I want to see him win the title. TNA did a great job at bringing him in, they didn't put him straight in the main event but let him put some guys over to help the company instead of just coming in like he's the big star.

I don't care whatever the people say about Booker T as being the top babyface of the company or the heel but in my opinion, he is way better as a heel than as a face character! :bigsmile:

Most of his top runs in WWE and wCw have been as a heel and he has always succeeded for whatever reason and I just hope that TNA keep him heel and don't drag anything and manage good promos every time he does one because quite honestly; Booker T has the looks, the skills and the charisma, that a good and successful heel character requires in TNA.

I like him better as a heel as well. As hometown kid said though, he was using his pinky finger int he air and reffering to himself as royalty as awful lot on iMpact this week. I just pray he doesnt go back to that gimmick.
But I say heel, because Ive never liekd him

Oh and BTW, I also just think that he has the mic skills to really piss some wrestlers off, so that gets my vote.

I Prefer Booker T as a heel to be honest. As King Booker he was annoying but in his Heel Roles he seems good. When's He's a face he gets all annoyed and starts spitting and no-one can understand him. He's better as a heel aswell because he seems to have that Bad Bastard character in him. Booker T as a Heel is much better.

I can only draw upon his WWE days but he's better as a face, in my humble opinion.

Hes earnt a huge fanbase over the years regardless of whether he's a heel or not, like Triple H, which is why his heel persona never fully resonates.

When the fans respect you and know your one of the best in the business then you just can't ever be a full heel again.

The two top most popular wrestlers in the WWE right now (The Undertaker & Triple H) character wise are not fully good guys, they're ambiguous at best. They get clean wins but they don't embrace or encourage the crowd to get behind them like John Cena. It's something that naturally happens when you've paid your time and earnt respect from the fans over the years.

tbh i prefer everyone as a heel there jus more entertaining especially triple h lol

Booker T is so much better as a face, I just don't believe him to be heel, plus he came into TNA as the face of faces, toothy grin, just a care free guy, plus he wasn't a good heel in WWE either, he is much more face than anything. I see him heel on iMPACT! and have a hard time believing it.
