A big reason why Drew is doing great as a heel is because being a heel isn’t anything new for him He spent a majority of his almost 15 year career as a heel Chosen One, Scottish Psychopath I feel like his popularity from 2020-2023 has kinda made some people forget how good Drew is as a heel

Another awesome video and great logic as always.

(Example being, Kevin Owens in a desperate attempt to get Logan to shut up, so he brings back the Package Piledriver.) Keep up the great work Santi. P.S, stop working your editor to death.

[@craiggurnham]

100000% Sami is the PERFECT babyface, a generational good guy, especially NXT Sami 🥲 (also W hivemind pfp)

[@davidstratton696]

Yes babyface Sami is the best Sami (I was looking for a comment mentioning this). He’s far too likable to be a heel. Sometimes when he was in the Bloodline he didn’t even feel like a heel. Also what I don’t understand is why for Styles did Santi say that his move set is more babyface like but didn’t mention the same with Sami. They limited his moveset a lot when he was a heel. As a heel we didn’t see him doing the barricade moonsault for example. And his worlds apart theme is far better then his heel theme. Honestly he should stay as a babyface. He spent enough time as a heel.

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

@@davidstratton696 Agree 💯

[@lucasgoncalves7774]

Thing with Sami is that even tho he's incredibly likable as a babyface, he's also an insanely entertaining as a heel. It's pretty much a matter of preference.

[@user-fb7vf4px6q]

“WHO?”😭

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

I tend to like heels more often. But there's nothing like someone who can play both sides really well. (Kevin Owens, Randy Savage, Seth Rollins) An edgy face can definitely appeal to me, but a heel will always get over with me more than a patronizing baby face.

[@MikeMars-]

I love the Heels. All the faces that had an edge to them too. Like Ultimate Warrior. HBK, Rock, Stonecold, Edge, Miz, etc

[@kevinuchiha6830]

I would love to see Cody heel again. But that ain't happening probably ever again 😂

[@jordanalford2825]

I don’t know. The Nightmare gimmick really lends itself to a heel run if told properly. It might take a few years tho.

[@loganatorproductions]

I’ve seen the idea of a “homelander” type heel run for Cody and I think that would be incredible

[@Iamnotpicky]

if they manage to have him be a big hero for a few years, and build up a new hero-typ good guy during that time, with cody becomign more and more bitter towards the new rising star would be great. Full on delisional and arrogant, but still similar to what he's doign right now. Also could make for a great, great redemption story after some time/towards the end of his active career. But again, that would require a great, young babyface as a counterpoint.

[@user-fb7vf4px6q]

Agree with a lot of these Santi🔥

[@Feeling_ucey]

I think a heel ricochet with mvp could be amazing as shit

[@IAmGTisWhoIAM229]

[@mile1155]

I do agree Sami's best main roster stuff was as a heel but also that entire Blooodlije run he was getting cheered like he was a good guy. At this point, he might be a babyface for lifer just because him as a babyface is so incredible.

[@christianmatico9689]

I’d say Punk is forever face. With the amount of stuff he’s done and the fact half the locker room hates him and we STILL cheer for him…he’s a face through and through.

[@NikolaiVid01]

As hard as being a Punk fan is at times, he's probably the best at both. As a face, he's a rebel leader whose awesome on the mic with plenty of personality and reason for the fans to care. As a heel, I don't think many aside from Prime Orton and Edge can sink lower as a heel. His feud with Jeff Hardy, the Straight Edge Society days, and the second half of his WWE Title reign were all great because of his character work. I hope his body can hold up for one more run when he comes back, but we'll see. 🤞

As odd as it is, I never knew it was called being a "tweener". I always just said antihero or antivillain, depending on which side of the spectrum they seemed to lean more toward while still being in the grey.

[@hopsonkim4952]

Antihero is sort of an often misused term, it just means a main character who lacks some heroic qualities. Can’t be antihero without being main character, which gets dicey in wresting because if there is a main character it’s probably Roman or like Austin during attitude era, etc. but you could also think about it with respect to individual storylines.

[@GamerFlair]

I feel like even before starting this. The answer to most of these will be heel and thats simple because its so much fucking easier to be a heel then a babyface, ESPECIALLY in modern times. Ultimately the best babyfaces for pretty much god knows how long have really been tweeners. Stone Cold Steve Austin... was a tweener. The Rock, tweener. John Cena was generally really a tweener at his best (I know people really wanted to see Heel Cena and thats really because of all the fucking teases given when he would be tweener mode. The times when he was most hated was either because of shit, squash people we like booking, or because he was being pure babyface.) The Shield when they were "babyfaces" were really tweeners. Generally I think there are very few people really capable of being pure baby, and even fewer who hit the lightning in the bottle to get backed. Like honestly, you can play a perfectly good babyface and essentially flop because people want someone else to be successful instead.
