Who do you think is in desperate need of a heel/face turn?
Two that come to mind for me are Kofi and Orton.
I believe Kofi can benefit from a little "attitude". He has been the same guy pretty much since day one. The only time I have seen him change it up some is when he was feuding with Orton. Maybe it doesnt have to be a heel turn, but I think a change for him is needed, especially to get him to a higher level.
Once they decide to give Orton another big push (if), I believe they will turn him. He just comes off better as a heel, IMO.
I may just be a Heel type guy since they are the ones with the most personality, but I really wish they would capitalize with what they have with Kofi. I think he could be more.
These are the first two that came to my mind. I havent given much thought to face turns, but Id like to get some insight on what you guys think. And maybe how they could carry it out.

Yeah, i refrained from mentioning that one due to many many many people have wanted that for years now. I thought he was great as that hip hop heel, but I dont believe he could go back to that. It would have to be a new direction. But since he is the face of the company, sells all the merch to the kids, and does all the charities, I dont see WWE doing it. At least anytime soon.
Maybe if they would just push Ryback and let him be "the guy", Cena could change it up some.

I really, really want to see Bryan become the underdog babyface we saw in NXT. He has the following now, but I want him to be considered a dangerous dude and top contender for the main title.

You want to see him as an underdog but also dangerous? Aren't those kind of conflicting? I see him walking out of his Hell No fued as a face. He's outgrown what his character was before he turned heel IMO. I want to see Ziggler drop AJ and Big E and turn face. He should still be the show off and strut and flaunt to the crowd but he's cheered enough as it is now to become a cool face. The Orton face turn, wherein he stays exactly the same but just works against heels.

Orton's been floundering for a long time. A turn would definitely help.

I always thought they should've made him a totally dangerous submission machine leading up to Mania last year. He would've snapped after a losing streak and then make everybody he faced after that tap out leading to a match with Mark Henry (who would've still been champion) and forced him to tap.

The Orton face turn, wherein he stays exactly the same but just works against heels. Underdog because of his height, look and indy background. The guy who you'd have never of thought would be a top guy but through hard work and training, made it. He's fun now and plays the role well, but it is essentially a comedy gimmick.

Orton is so boring it's ridiculous. Problem is he can't be the badass heel because that's how he was getting cheered in the first place. He'd have to get an overhaul.

That's a good thing. Even though I wouldn't mind seeing him and Goldust at Mania.

Cena is too nice a guy to play a heel, there's no way he could pull it off.

Kofi for sure.
He has hit his peak as a face... he is a very good face too... he just needs a change if he is going to rise to the top.. and I think he can.

I thought they were going to turn Kofi a while back, but I was wrong. And as far as a Cena heel turn, they turned Stone Cold heel (a horrible attempt at it anyway) when he was the face of the company, why not Cena too? Granted we don't have a guy like Rocky to fall back on fulltime to sell the merch. If Daniel Bryan keeps going down the path he's on he would be a great replacement as the top face of the company... Its just a thought though...

His first heel run was great so idk what the you're talking about. Yeah and of course there's no way those small number of people could be lying, right? How would his heel rapper gimmick work in PG WWE?

All the baby faces should turn heel. But also all the heels should wrestle like babyfaces.[/wfigs]
