10 Real-Life Wrestling Heels Who Turned Babyface
1. Triple H
Was a heel because...
Triple H, capital T, capital F, capital W, was The F*cking Worst.
His performance level plummeted to the depths of flabby, methodical hell at the time he was entrusted to carry everything. He used his backstage sway to both rip the piss out talents with potential to star and ruin talents that already were stars. His was a vast, corrosive influence which sought to make himself the smartest guy in the room by making everybody else dumb. Trace all of recorded professional wrestling history, and you will never yield a record of such heat-devoid main events "boasted" by the man, and yet, it was Trips who told so many guys that they didn't know how to work.
He also developed this totally bizarre habit in the early 2010s in which he'd blast emerging stars with his Pedigree in dark segments. Imagine the pettiness of that mentality. His c*ck was massive, and it wasn't made out of plastic.
Turned babyface by...
His brain was big. Mighty big. In directing his sycophantic tendencies to the bloody audience for once, he created NXT to ascend to saviour status by studying the world beyond the WWE bubble, and adapting its brilliance to the high value production and effective promotion of the WWE machine. NXT has delivered to us some of the greatest storylines, matches, and, yes, "moments" in the history of professional wrestling.
Thank you Based God Papa Haitch and all that, but let them cut an unscripted promo every now and then, eh?
