10 WWE Superstars You Totally Forgot Were A Babyface

The biggest main event in all of WWE history is arguably the WrestleMania III clash between André The Giant vs. Hulk Hogan from 1987.

This was the peak of WWE's popularity of the 1980s, and André The Giant was a major factor in bringing many new eyes and audiences to the WWE product. His role as the superhuman giant that wanted a shot at the world title was the biggest threat that Hulk Hogan could ever have. With the promotion firmly behind the Hulkster as its flagship performer, André was cast as the top villain for several years to come.

Since many new fans began watching the WWE product around this time, it's understandable that the bulk may not have realized that André The Giant was a good guy for years prior to his WrestleMania III match against Hogan. In fact, the two men's roles were reversed just a few years prior when a babyface André wrestled a heel Hulk Hogan at the Showdown At Shea in 1980.

André would also end his WWE career as a babyface, assisting several fellow superstars in their fight against The Giant's former manager, Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan. It was André's time as a heel that most fans remember, however.
