5 Wrestlers who are far better as Heel than as Babyface 

Some things are just naturally inclined to be either one way or the other. Doesn't matter how many times we try to repackage and serve it in a different way they're just naturally meant to be that only. Sugar is supposed to taste sweet while salt is supposed to be sour (isn't it?).

Same is the case with wrestlers. Some Wrestlers, you just look at them and you can tell, "Nah, he looks like one crazy Human Being" or on the other hand, in the same way, you look at someone and you just can't find a single blemish in that person, everything seems perfect, in other words, that person can do no wrong. For instance, how on earth can you package and sell Gene Snitsky as a face? (Well...you never know, WWE might just wing that one as well)

The same thing sometimes works in wrestling as well, unless you're Daniel Bryan or Shawn Michaels that can pull off anything and are real chameleons of the wrestling world there are many wrestlers who are just more suited to being a Heel rather than being a babyface.

Let's go through the list of the stars who are far more suited as heels than as babyfaces.

#1 The Miz

Always the bad guy......Always

The Miz has come such a long way from the humble beginnings that he had in WWE. He has literally grown up in front of the WWE Universe from being part of a tag team with John Morrison to at one stage to headlining WrestleMania against John Cena.

He has become an A-Lister in his own right but then there's one more thing that is just uncanny about Miz; he's just that guy that everyone loves to hate. Maybe it's the infectious arrogance, maybe it's just his slick presentation or maybe it's a bit of everything.

Whatever it is, it has made him WWE's quintessential heel because it's almost too easy now for him to generate heat. He's so good at being heel that it's almost no surprise that he had a small (and forgettable) reign as a face in 2014 which was just never able to gain traction and he was quickly switched back to being a heel.

Miz has established himself as a permanent heel whichever storyline there may be and you've got to admit, he's done a damn good job at that.

#2 Randy Orton

Randy is WWE's Bad Boy Both onscreen(and sometimes off it as well)

There can be arguments on both sides of the coin for Randy Orton because he has had extended runs as both a Heel and a Babyface in his long and prestigious career which can make it tough to typecast such a legend into a particular role. But throughout Orton's career, there has always been a marked difference in his persona whenever he's been a Heel as compared to his Persona as a BabyFace.

Although the "Apex Predator" persona helped Randy rise to great heights as both a Heel and Face but the biggest Impact has always been as the heel, be it as "The Legend Killer" early in his career or when he imbibed the persona of the Apex Predator and started Punting everything in sight or his most recent incarnation where he's taken things up a notch and gone after Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio in the most cringy ways possible. Randy Orton really is much better as a heel than a babyface.

#3 Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho has had a lot of success even recently as the edgy No Holds Barred Heel for New Japan Pro Wrestling

Chris Jericho is a legend and more than that he's one of the best chameleons ever to have graced the wrestling business. But one thing that we all have to agree on is that his new persona which he has portrayed in his most recent stint in NJPW where he's vicious, dangerous and has a no holds barred attitude towards anything when it comes to beating down his opponents, he has taken things up a notch and has added a new dimension to his already illustrious career.

Even if we keep that aside, Jericho throughout his illustrious career has shown an uncanny ability to rub the audience the wrong way and has been always able to generate a reaction. Most of his feuds he has been able to put over by being the bad guy.

Looking back at Jericho's career you have to say that the Heel Jericho always spiced things up a bit as compared to the babyface version.

#4 Ric Flair

If there ever is a guy that epitomized the term "Cowardly Heel" It has to be Ric Flair

Probably the best wrestler ever and probably the guy that introduced the term "Cowardly Heel" into the business and took it to crazy heights.

One of the best on the mic and one of the best in the ring, Ric was the guy who lived his character and even during his matches he carried the heel persona with him. There's never been anyone like him who sold the moves as he did.

Even though Naitchhimself has had some memorable stints as a Babyface as well (especially the one at the end of his career where he kept getting hold of his opponent's "Stuff") but the stints that made Ric Flair the legend that he was, were his stints as the Cowardly Heel who would scratch and crawl and do anything he could to win.

#5 Edge

Edge's career can be divided into two parts before he was pushed to become the champion and the one after it, He kicked ass in the second stint

Edge, for a long time in his career, was never given the main event push. But when he won the Money in the Bank his career took off. Ever the opportunist, Edge was able to rack up great wins against some of the greatest of all time and become a multiple time world champion.

What worked for Edge? Turning him into a heel. Pretty much throughout his first stint Edge was (for the bulk of it) portrayed as a face but as soon as he got pushed for the main event the character got darker and darker and he just revelled in the heat he was able to generate.

He was the eternal Bad Guy for the company and even though for a brief time he was turned face when he returned to win the Royal Rumble, WWE quickly realized their mistake and turned him again after the ovation he received was at best Lukewarm as a Face.

In Edge's case, one can say his career completely changed once he turned heel as he cemented himself as one of the modern-day greats of Wrestling by winning the World Title 11 times.
