I think with few exceptions wrestlers are usually better playing heels. There is more room to work with and more depth. It is probably easier to play a face than a heel, but I think it is much harder to play a great face than a great heel. Magnus works as a heel, but it is tough to behind him as a face.

I do agree mainly because Magnus plays smug so well even when trying to be restrained he looks smug

I like him as a face and think TNA should make him there John Cena.
Never turns heel again, epitome of good always coming up against evil.

I think he has some good potential as a face, he just hasn't quite found his niche yet. His comeback leaves much to be desired but I feel he works the best as a face while apart of a tag-team. His offense is more flashy when with a partner like his snapmare/elbow out of nowhere is awesome & always a mark out moment for me. When in singles he really doesn't have moments like that.

I like him and he is a face. I'm an adult fan on the internet, so that seems pretty rare. I'd say yes, but must digress that I've liked him for quite some time, especially including him as a heel...
like Dolph...

I think Magnus works a lot better as a face when he isn't involved with the Main Event Mafia. They're dragging him down, in my opinion.

I think he has the potential to work as a face or heel. He's still trying to gain traction as a face, but he's improving, but, by god, he needs some better comeback lines. His little pink slip comeback was just sad.

He does well as a smug heel but he doesn't have a face character outside of Englishman and V for Victory.

I think he's a great self-assured babyface. Just because someone knows they are good doesn't make them a heel.

I like him as a face and think TNA should make him their John Cena. I agree. I think aligning him with the MeM probably wasn't the best thing for building his character as he kind of gets lumped in with Angle, Joe, Sting, Rampage and doesn't really get the spotlight as a personality like he should. I could see a Magnus vs the Bobby Roode & the Extraordinary Gentleman's Club feud working REALLY well.

He's alright. He's kind of a new thing right now and the white meat babyface tricks are working, but is that sustainable? Not much depth to the guy. Time will tell if he can change that.

I like him as a face and could be the top face for the company if they don't f*** it up.

A good enough face for Mickie James to sit on.

TNA would be wise to try lock Magnus into a long term contract.
Magnus would be wise to decline however.

I think that once they eliminate Aces & 8s, the MEM is gonna split up & go their separate ways, and that will allow Magnus to show more. I think he's a good face, but not one of the top faces yet, but given time I think he can be a top guy.

Has he really done much? Had a big feud or even A feud? He has the tools but needs a chance to show them.

He's the one guy I can picture having a long and lucrative career in the WWE, because he's young enough to shake the "TNA Guy" label, the WWE locker room would undoubtabley put on him.

I think we have to give him some time but I do see him being a pretty good face for TNA. However, I do agree he's kinda lost in the shuffle in the Main Event Mafia angle right now but since it will most likely end in a couple of weeks when Aces & Eights will disband for good, I can live with that for now.

I honestly am not sure. As others have mentioned he hasn't really done much interesting.
Pros: He looks like a star He's decent enough in-ring He's an okay promo from what I've seen. He will help TNA's British foothold.
Cons: He more than anyone really needs a storyline of his own. He needs some sort of character development/motivations.
He can be their top guy, but he needs more character development and TNA needs to push him no matter what as the top guy. If those things happen then it could work.
