The real problem is that in the face-dominated WWE booking, I find it really difficult to root against some of the heels, particularly Edge. It always seems like he's getting his ass kicked once a month by Super DX and Supercena and I start to feel for the poor bastard. Umaga and King Booker are the only two other heels I see in the WWE right now that are on par with any of the faces present.

Not much to say, but regarding King Booker, the guy works as a heel. Yeah, the smarks find him funny, the but the marks and casual fans hate the guy. I've read enough house show reports where he's listed as getting the most heat enough to know the guy works as a heel.

Fair enough if you don't like their performances, but saying a heel sucks because you find their character annoying is just retarded. Randy Orton would be a bad heel if he came across as likeable and friendly. But he's a good heel because he comes across as a total cock. No, he's a poor wrestler in my eyes because I dislike him whether he's a heel or a face. He isn't charismatic at all, so he was a bad face and anything heelish he does is generic. He is annoying, not because he can anger a crowd or can apparently incite an audience into rioting,* but because the clear intention of his character is to be an ultra-cocky wunderkind despite having the personality of a cardboard box and a third grade English education at best. He's not annoying in the sense that I enjoy watching him get his ass kicked, rather in the sense that I don't care about him but he's always on my television screen.

I mean seriously, they are supposed to be annoying. Yes, that includes Johnny Nitro and Melina. It even includes Randy Orton. Too many people here go on about how über smarkish they are, then go on about how they can't stand their attitudes and style. Fair enough if you don't like their performances, but saying a heel sucks because you find their character annoying is just retarded. Randy Orton would be a bad heel if he came across as likeable and friendly. But he's a good heel because he comes across as a total cock. Everyone agree? Good. I agree that they are good in their roles (Orton, Nitro, etc.), but that doesn't make me like them anymore. Orton I can stand watching, but Nitro I hit the remote or the off switch on my TV set, I could care less for what he is doing, call me uber-smarkish if you wish, but that's just the way I see it.

Since this thread is back active I'll just repeat myself. Because "good heels" get you to tune in and want to see them die. "Annoying heels" or annoying characters in general will make you change the channel. I turn off Smackdown during Miz segments, they f'n suck.

If noone complained about them being annoying, they wouldn't be heels
