10 Worst Babyfaces In WWE History
2. Mr. Perfect
There is nothing about the Mr. Perfect character that makes him a great babyface.
An egotistical daddy's boy who excelled at every sport and TOLD you as much, Perfect exploded onto WWE television through a series of pre-taped vignettes in which he demonstrated his athletic superiority. He could shoot basketball better than pros. He could throw a football 75 yards in the air, run down the field and catch it as it descended from the heavens. He was better at Olympic diving, running and pool. Most importantly, he was better at wrestling.
He carried himself as an elitist, better than absolutely everyone around him. The sheer mediocrity of the WWE roster disgusted him. The smug look on his face, the manner in which he spat his gum into the air and batted away... all of it made for a textbook villain.
That is why his 1992 babyface turn was as puzzling a booking decision as it was.
He was essentially the same character, over with fans only because of the respect they had for him as a performer. Between the ropes, his work suffered. He was nowhere near as effective a babyface worker under that persona as he had been a decade earlier in AWA. He was still cocky, full of himself and believed he was better than everyone. It did not click and by the time March 1994 rolled around, he was turned heel for the second time in his WWE career.
