…I gave way too much thought to wrestlers’ orientations if they were wrestlers, lol. (Jargon translation: faces are good guys, heels are bad guys, tweeners are guys who tend to act a bit naughty like heels but are funny and charming like faces, jobbers are workaday wrestlers who are only there to make the main guys look good. A wrestler can be ‘booked’ on a wrestling show as one or the other, being ‘pushed’ is being heavily promoted, being ‘over’ means you’re popular/the crowd respond to you, whether you’re a heel or face.)
Lewis: pushed as a face, but many are lukewarm to hostile towards him (cf, Roman Reigns)
Nico R: they’re trying to book him as a heel, but he’s getting over with people as the alternative to Lewis, who’s being shoved down their throats (cf, Rusev)
Dan: a natural face, always and forever (cf, Finn Balor)
Seb: natural tweener. Had a good run as the type of heel people loved to hate, but he has too much charisma to be a true heel. (cf, Austin Aries)
Kimi: got over as a face despite not really having any face-like traits… or any heel-like ones either. (cf… probably Stone Cold Steve Austin, lol)
Max: a dyed in the wool heel, from a heel family. (cf, Charlotte???)
Checo: natural face, even more so than Dan
Valtteri: shy lil face
Hulk: another face, though in a slightly different, cheekier mould
Felipe: the faceiest face to ever face (cf, Bayley? Felipe is a hugger lbr)
Alonso: natural heel. The sly, I’m-smarter-than-all-of-you kind. Occasionally acts more face-like but he can’t hide his natural heel tendencies for long (cf, EC3 [except I love EC3 and do not love Alonso lol])
Carlos: natural face, from a beloved face family (cf, Cody Rhodes)
RoGro: I feel like he’s booked as a face, but he has his heelish moments. He might have to turn. Seems like he might cause trouble backstage. (cf Paige? I was thinking Pascal for Paige, but it might apply more to RoGro. Keeps turning from face to heel to face to heel!)
Daniil: a face, but not given the push he deserved (cf, Daniel Bryan)
Jenson: another undisputed natural face
KMag: another face who perhaps hasn’t got the push he deserves yet (cf, Neville)
Jolyon: broadly speaking a face, but he’s not over with anyone except raving patriots. No-one gaf (cf, Jack Swagger)
Pascal: booked as a face and initially heavily pushed but again seems like he might lose that push due to being a bit difficult backstage (cf, Emma???)
Stoff: booked as a face, heavily pushed before he’s even properly debuted
[I was going to do the rest but tbh they’re all pretty much jobbers, soz >.>]
I was trying to think of more comparisons, but it got hard to think of so many truly successful faces! If anyone has any suggestions (or disagreements with my assessments!) let me know! This was actually a lot of fun but somehow I doubt anyone except me will actually have the slightest interest lol.
