It's gotta be Rey Mysterio. You can at least make attempts with Taker, Cena and Vickie. I just can't see Mysterio being a heel.

Rey Mysterio. If I'm correct, it took turning on Rey for both Eddie Guerrero and Batista (who quite frankly were kinda dicks as faces) for them to get heel heat. DICKS? ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Cole. Because if you turn him back into annoying face commentator Cole everyone will still hate him, just for different reasons.

The Undertaker would be the hardest to turn face because he is at that point in his career were he will not get booed.

Mysterio. He's the ultimate underdog as they say. Kids love him. Taker would be tough too but he did a pretty good job of it during his biker run.
That said, I would love to see a Rey Rey heel turn. How would you even book it?

How would you even book it? Booking a Rey heel turn could work if it was an inspired attempt to get him over as one. But I admit it is difficult given the circumstances, his stature, and his overall look in general provides a difficult scenario for it to work. He would almost have to shed everything that made him popular and go in that direction, which was kind of done when he lost the mask in WCW. Maybe he could be that annoying individual who talks a big game and constantly runs away? You know the type I am talking about.

Not exactly like Godfather or anything, but he would be that typical short individual who runs a lethal group and doesn't get his hands dirty. He could sneak attack and talk a lot of trash that not only pisses off the wrestler(s) he is feuding with, but the commentators, fans, and rather than headbutting the fan he could snatch the mask away or something. It could work, I mean lets face it, Hogan turned heel and I'm sure that was viewed impossible too. The WWE just needs true creative minds behind the product who could give it some much needed life.

At this stage in his career, Undertaker could defecate on the holy texts of every major world religion while talking about being a proud member of NAMBLA and he'd still get cheered.
Mysterio and Vickie could be "turned" by getting rid of everything recognizable about their characters and rebuilding them from the ground up, but that'd be at least as likely to just kill their heat and leave the crowds baffled.
Cena, however... while it'd be a bad business decision to turn him heel for the time being, I think he could pull it off if the bookers really wanted him to. There's a sizable enough portion of the audience that already dislikes him, and he's talented enough to be able to play to that.

I remember the promo he gave after he beat Burials at Wrestlemania and how he rubbed it in the fans face. It was pure perfection and it made me believe he could be a heel. I just believe Vince and company are too scared to do it.

I'm starting to see it. If they modelled him after those hispanic gang bangers that were in so many movies in the nineties, think Joker from Next Friday or the guy from Training Day, it could work. They'd have to unmask him and get him different attire. Or he could be like Floyd Mayweather and start flashing his money around and became really arrogant - that could work too.

The fact that WWE refuses to turn Cena doesn't make it impossible to turn him. Half the crowd already hates him.
Vickie is the clear-cut winner.

Have Cena break the streak with the STF. If the fans don't boo that, he's face for life.

John Cena. The kids in the crowd cheer for absolutely anything he does. He was a total heel on Monday, and kids cheered for him anyway.

I think Cena would be the easiest to turn, simply because the majority of his biggest fans are little kids and they're the last of the passionate marks. He'd just have to betray them in some way.

Vickie or Taker. And turning the Miz face would just be dumb; he's a fantastic heel, and I feel like he would be wasted as a face. It may be dumb but it'll happen within the next 12 months IMO. "Lets go Miz" chants are noticable on TV, the amount of PR work he does for the company, plus out of character he seems pretty likeable, all this leads me to believe they see him as being Rock-lite. Taker from the options is the hardest to turn and after that HHH, I expect him to turn heel once more before he retires (his glory years were as a heel after all) but the fans will still cheer him whatever.

For all the people saying Undertaker, he was clearly boo'ed at some points during his fued with HBK. So if he pick up SOME boo's then, well put him in a programe with John Cena and I think you could easily turn him heel.
