shouldn't hold on to their heel mannerisms that got them over?
I hear too often about people complaining that when their favorite heels turns face, WWE takes away some of their edge and the heelish antics that they liked.
But then we get guys like The Miz, or Shawn Michaels in 1996.
I mean I can see the argument with Miz since he was getting boring as a heel and he was getting stale and relying too much on old tricks. But a guy like Shawn in 96...
it's like "haha that Shawn, he's such a dick. Look at him dancing and sticking his crotch in everyone's face". Then a face turn later "what a homo, I can't cheer for a man who keeps dancing and is essentially a male stripper".
Oddly it worked the other way for Batista
"dude what a freaking douchebag face" then a heel turn later, "I love Douchetista". Is it just that we're only reacting to these things because the audience as a whole is supposed to dislike these things? and once they accept it, we have to hate it because "they're doing it all wrong and, all of the sudden, the heel has a point"?
Heel Rock: Greatest thing that ever lived. Face Rock: Kind of a bully, egomaniac, too obsessed with penises yet counts success in life by vaginas consumed.
I'm not calling anyone out, or pointing out any hypocracy. I'm just asking. Who, as a great heel, if they turned face and kept most of their heelish tendencies, do you think you'd turn on pretty quick?
