People hate DX, but Christian is a good counter point. But just look at the statistics in favor of the smarks hating faces and loving heels.
Randy Orton, hated as a face, worshipped as a heel.
Batista, wished death upon as a face, respectable as a heel.
John Cena, loathed as a face, everyone wishes he would turn heel.
CM Punk, hated as a face, adored as a heel.
Chris Jericho, mediocre as a face, declared the greatest thing since sliced bread as a heel.
Big Show, considered a big dumb goof as a face. Considered a brutal monster as a heel.
I'm sure there's more I could think of but the odds are very good that Edge is going to be hated as face just because the smarks hate faces on average.
