I see a lot of "turn Cena heel", "turn Orton heel", even "turn Rock heel" :usure: But I don't think everybody needs to be a heel... if everybody's a heel, then who the hell will they go against...

BUT there's some turns I'd wanna see sooner than later- some of whom could use a freshening up of their character and a chance to try other things. Lately the E has been turning people who didn't even NEED the turn (i.e. Christian, Kane, Show), but there's some others they should think about.

Face: The Miz. I think they've squeezed all the juice out of the heel run that they're gonna get. Actually, this coulda happened a damn year ago. It'll be fresh for him to be the dikkhead character he is, to clash with someone just as egotistical (i.e. Ziggler) I don't know what's takin' so long to do it, but he could def. work as a face if done right.

Heel: Kofi Kingston. The smiling dude that jumps around has run his course. He's been a dependable IC/US/tag title kinda guy, and I don't know if he has that main eventer spirit in him at all, but it wouldn't hurt to see how he'd work out with a different character.

Face: Jack Swagger. It's the only semi-hope he has at this point. He's constantly overshadowed by the other heels and will never break through on that side of things. Not even sure how well he'd do as a face, but it's gotta be at least slightly better than where he is at this point. He's damn near Drew Mac status.

Heel: Christian. Yeah, they just turned him face... but that never really works out for him, does it? He does good enough in the role, but he's a natural heel. They got people who've been heels for over 5 years, and Christian gets turned after one, AND after shining last summer with the Orton feud? Doesn't make much sense.

Add on...

Kofi definitely needs to turn heel. He could use the character change. Unless they want him to be on some ol' Ricky Steamboat face for life type shyt. I think he has it in him. Those times where he "snapped" durin' his feud with Terry Cloth Dolph on SD had me like :leon:

He could always use the excuse that every time he's on the path to success as singles wrestler, he always gets stuck with a tag partner. Then he can work/shoot on Bourne and talk about how much of a liability dude was outside the ring.

Then he can shyt on Truth and talk about how much of a mental case he is. Stomp Lil Jimmy out be on his way :lolbron:

Completely agree on Kofi, he's needed a change for a long time and he could definitely pull it off. Give him a serious heel character and a feud with someone from the upper card and you got a possible main-eventer, which will never happen with his current character.

Agree on Christian too, but it would have to be a slow build since he just turned recently. Natural heel. Maybe take him out of the ring for awhile and just have him host his talk show, and gradually turn him while he's hosting each week.

Agree that Swagger needs a change, but not sure I can even imagine that guy as a face. :dwillhuh:

When I try to think of Miz as a face, I remember his stint as the "host of Smackdown" a few years ago and I lose my fukkin lunch. :scusthov: I agree he needs some kind of change, but his face experience is pretty brutal.

My suggestion would be Drew Mac doing a face turn. I am still convinced that guy has some value. Have him lose one last humiliating match as a heel and then have him disappear for awhile. Then book him as a lone wolf type of babyface who still has heel tendencies and does a few run-ins and leaves a few heels layin'. And then leaves without saying a word.

Kofi should embrace Africa and shyt on America.
Truth should give lil jimmy the boot and become an insane heel.

Kofi/R-truth & Primetime Players need to have a match at Summerslam for the tag team titles and instead of fighting....

they need to pull a NEXUS and beat up the ref and break shyt

Then on RAW, form a "Black Excellence" stable (not Nation) with them wearing suits and being swagged out, led by AW

Heel orton and face miz obviously

Heel cena EVENTUALLY BUT NOT NOW

To the thread topic:

Heel Rey mysterio. He'll make for a great cowardly heel, getting the belt and running out the ring and shyt...his betrayal of his fans would made A LOT OF LIL JIMMIES AND BECKYS cry....you could even double turn miz or something...have rey do some dirty shyt to miz to get the ic strap; it enhances the belt, and gets rey over big time as a heel, and miz can flip easily...just by saying "wwe universe! I'm the MIZ...AND WE're awesome".

The choices already posted are well documented here and are the most needed so im gonna go out on a bit of a limb here for mine.

Ryback as a heel.
Lets face it, the WWE is catered to kids nowadays. He has this long undefeated streak beating every minor heel in sight sometimes 2 at a time. Lets say Cena is getting destroyed by say, Big Show. Ryback comes out to help and Big Show leaves the ring not wanting any part of him. As Cena gets to his feet BOOM clothesline. Raw Ends. Next week Ryback is interviewed and says nothing and attacks Cena again when he asks for an explaination. This time as Ryback stands over Cena Johnny Ace returns and stands on the ramp applauding.

The next week he explains that Ryback was brought back by him and was "programmed" to destroy John Cena and he Activated that program two weeks ago. They feud and.. well Cena probably wins. But it plays on his "cyborg" gimmick just enough without it being too over the top.


Ill add more later if i can think of any stories to illustrate it.

:wtf: @ people thinking Kofi would be a good heel because he cut a promo crying about the ugliness of American buildings.
