I know he performed as a heel in WCW but to me he couldn't really fulfill the role. He was too flashy in ring, lacked credible mic skills and due to his size was always the underdog.​


Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

I can't actually recall Ricky being a heel. He was a great in ring worker one of the best no doubt. Once again he really lacked the mic skills to get people to hate him.​

Tatanka

I know he turned heel to align with million dollar corporation but nobody really cared. He was a really good cartoon style babyface with his undefeated streak which ran for longer the a year.​

The Ultimate Warrior.​

It was everything about the Warrior which just screamed babyface. From his muscular physique to the colorful paint on his face. The energy which he exert in his entrance with the iconic guitar riff was phenomenal. I have little respect for him as a wrestler but similar to Hogan you can't help but respect the entertainment factor he brought.​

I remember watching RAW a long long time ago when Tatanka was still on.. He was entertaining lol.

The Ultimate Warrior is f'ing huge!

Also, what about Hawk and Animal?

Do you mean perform as in they couldn't display the skill needed to get them over as a heel? Or can we also input the "heels" that just couldn't be heel regardless of skill. For example, Stone Cold.

I just meant guys who couldn't be a heel regardless of skill. Austin would count.

AJ Styles should be on the list. HIs heel runs have all been shit

I'm sure this won't stop TNA from giving him 2-3 more heel turns in his career though

I quite enjoyed him when he teamed with Flair actually, his mic work improved during that partnership imo. #ExpectingToBeFlamedAndPossiblySuedSoHereIsMyLawyer :eek:tunga1:

Anybody can be a heel... it's a matter of booking

Put Rey out there w/a cig or being a Mexican sympathizer and he could get heat

Put Austin out there waving a foreign flag and he'll get heat. Austin would refuse.... hence why it wouldn't work

Gay gimmicks, foreigner gimmicks are heat magnets


Steamboat, Rey and Austin would never take those gimmicks, but guys like Jericho would take a foreigner gimmick in a heartbeat
