10 WWE Stars That Should Never Turn Face
Some stars were destined to be villains.
Let's face it: some wrestlers are born to be babyfaces, and others are meant to be heels. Guys like Ric Flair and Macho Man Randy Savage proved to be equally adept at both roles. Others are best when confined to one alignment, and there's nothing wrong with that. Ricky Steamboat would never have made a dynamic heel, case in point.
Seeing The Miz excel in his current role of pompous Hollywood douche is just proof positive of this theory. In 2012-13, WWE got it in their heads that The Miz should be given a chance to succeed as a Dennis the Menace-style babyface annoyance, and it flopped like Tout.
Maybe it was because he had been playing a heel for six years and they felt he needed to be freshened up, who knows? The point is, he's better off as a bad guy, and it's more abundantly clear than ever.
He's not alone. Other talents on WWE's roster are just natural born heels, for one reason or another. Some of them have had runs as babyfaces, the majority of which have fallen short of their highest hopes in some way.
Whatever changes WWE makes to its roster through the coming years, let's hope these talents remain antagonistic.
10. Luke Harper
1195289Bray Wyatt, for his part, could make for a compelling babyface. His laid back delivery gives him a Jake Roberts-style slant, and they're going to need a decent supernatural character when Undertaker is officially done. Harper, on the other hand, doesn't wax as poetically as Wyatt, and is better served as a bug-eyed menace.
Sure, he has some Chaplin-esque silent film comedic chops, but he's the monster heel they need.
Harper's easy to like because his hard work is evident, and he's so fluid for a worker his size. I think he'd be better served as a force of nature heel, one that roadblocks smaller babyfaces, and stands up to the heroic heavyweights with unflinching resolve.
There's plenty of potential for him in that role that has barely been mined.
