16 Purest Babyfaces In Wrestling History

15. Rob Van Dam

When was the last time Rob Van Dam was a heel? 1996? He was supposed to be a heel during the InVasion, but nobody booed him, and he didn't even bother to wrestle a less appealing style. He's Rob Van Dam, not Neville; big showy kicks and unnecessary-but-fun spinning are the backbone of his moveset. What's he going to do, mean-spirited joint manipulation from the top rope?

Apart from the inherent babyfaceness of his arsenal, his character is also intensely chill, dude. He's a very laid-back guy , but it can be to his detriment; it's sometimes hard for an RVD feud or match to kick into high gear because righteous babyface fury is so anathema to him.

Rob Van Dam: Nice F'n Guy.
