10 Ways WWE Completely Buries Babyfaces In 2017

10. They Get Easily Fooled By Heels

Babyfaces, occasionally, have to be tricked. It's hard to manifest a tale in which a hero was hoodwinked by a nefarious nogoodnik if at some point, they're not actually taken for the ride.

However, the writing team's malaise, exhaustion or a combination of the two has hijacked the ability to script a ploy that is even remotely believable.

Wrestling fans aren't asking to be fed the high-brow nuance of The Wire or The Sopranos in every segment, but they will rightfully refuse to get behind a so-called star that walks idiotically into a blatant bear trap in front of their very eyes.

Worse still, it happens with infuriating regularity. Goldust's turn on R-Truth may as well have been painted in 50-foot high lettering akin to his beloved 'Hollywood' sign. Likewise, though Big Cass' first heel turn was born out of necessity thanks to Corey Graves' whistleblowing, his second the following week made Enzo Amore look completely stupid, rather than sympathetic.

Though a scourge of heels and faces, the entrance music distraction finish may be the most damaging 'ruse' of all. Your rival's music blasting through the PA would indeed cause momentary surprise, but not two minute freeze and a sudden inability to kick out of a simple roll-up.
