We're Detroit, breh. :hubie:

I'm not asking because I want to know who can be a star. I know any guy could be a top guy with a push, but I'm curious about who people want to be a top babyface. I personally don't mind Goldberg in the Raw main event, but since there seems to be a bit of an outcry, I'm just curious.

Seth got a push, but people didn't seem dig him as a face once he made the turn. They may come around once the Trips feud plays out, but there doesn't seem to be many guys where people want him to be a good guy and win like they did :bryan:

Punk got the push but people wanted him heel. Del Rio got the push, people wanted him heel. People want Cena heel. People prefer Orton heel. They want Roman heel. They want Rusev heel.

How often do you see people (in this forum and outside of it) say "they just need to turn him heel" compared to "he should just turn face"?

Balor was already top baby face for a day, Seth push was brought down by HHH doing something major then vanishing for 5 months. Most fans were begging for Seth to turn face as soon as he returned from injury and it's agreed that heel Seth ran its course. It's similarly agreed to that heel AJ has ran its course. The fans turned on Shane and the fans won't boo AJ no matter what he does. Punk got the same way post pipebomb, the fans wanted him to stay face. I see AJ as being like Flair & Austin at this point where the fans will never boo him again, just like Punk & Bryan can never be heels again.

One day they won't have a choice but to push Sami Zayn and the fans won't accept a reversal

Yup said this a few months back in a thread Gizzle made. I do feel Sami is one of the very few (Kofi also) who could get that genuine fan backing run for a RR win -> WM title victory. Actually after watching that video Heath may be floating around that boat too given the past year, LOL.

Rusev. He accepts that he has to assimilate into American culture to get ahead in the E. Have him drop the accent and speak like an American and transform into what he thinks a good guy American top baby face is what he's seen a good guy be. He cups his ears to hear applause like hulk he drinks beers draped in an American flag like Austin/angle hybrid. All of the ignorant tropes he thinks make an American good guy baby face wrestler y. Less disabled more self awarely unaware Eugene

Rusev.

Close thread.

Babyface Rusev, eh? I'm trying to imagine Rusev celebrating at the end of WrestleMania with confetti falling down and fans in the crowd with the :mjcry: :salute: :wow:

He's likable as hell. A face run could definitely work and he should DEFINITELY be champ sooner or later, but I don't know if he strikes me as someone that could draw sympathy/emotion like a true top BABYface. Maybe it's his moveset and stature.

Who'd be bullying Rusev? Maybe if Reigns turned Lana against him, perhaps? :jbhmm:
