When Garrett was debuted as a babyface he caught a lot of flack. Some members on here said he would work better as a heel and turns out they were right. He even outshines Brisco, who people thought was going to be the star of the two as a heel. Seems like Bischoff's are born to play heels. Garrett has that hateable look and his mic style suits a heel more than a face, his ring work to. So it seems like debuting him as a face actually served him a purpose. Similarly to Vince McMahon and Garrett's father Eric, he started out in a non wrestling role, as a ref (Vince and Eric both being broadcasters and commentary before becoming their well known heel characters). Like the two before him it helped get Garrett used to working in front of a crowd and the crowd in turn got used to seeing Garrett.Thus giving them more of a reason to boo him instead of just having him debut as a heel and being "Eric Bischoff jr." Granted this was probably not the long term plan for either Vince or Eric but with Garrett who actually wanted to become a wrestler from the start it might have well been.
But how far can Garrett go? Will his smarmy heel character go long ways in the company or is there a glass ceiling for him? Personally I'd say he'll never be a world champion but I could definitely see a TV title run and a couple of tag team title runs in his future. I also have an idea of how to book him once the Aces and Eights ends. If he doesn't stay together with Wes Brisco as a heel tag team then I would pair him up with one of the bruisers from Aces and Eights. Probably Knox. Let Garrett do the talking and Knox be his bruiser and the heel duo could go on a mid card run that can last for a while. They can hold the tag belts, Garrett can hold the TV title or possibly even the X-Division title (through heel shenanigans) or Knox could hold the TV title, the other helping the other retain it. If Knox leaves the company down the line Garrett can always get some new muscle (think Kendrick's old man with the plan persona without being stoned and with a more aggressive ego). And even if he stays with Wes the same chemistry works. Just keep Garrett talking cause Wes is a blueberry.
How far do you think Garrett can go in the business?
Will he ever turn face again and will his heel run help him?
How would you book him?
