Its time to play the game for WWE, Triple H for long been used as heel character as it more suited him, to add
More to it I would say the most successful wrestler of to hold the heel tag in WWE history. Most of the characters who started as heel as days went by switched over as face since everybody love to be a public figure.
It has been so difficult for a wrestler to adopt to heel character after being the role model for public long time,
There are guys who found it very difficult to adapt it but still did it successfully like Bret The Hitman Hart.
On the contrary wrestlers found it a lot easy to switch over from heel to face, likes of Undertaker, HBK comes to mind readily. Its time now for some drastic change specially in case of HHH, he has got so much talent that he should be used as public figure rather than getting booed all the time.
Its time for WWE to play the game as Face, I think they have started the transition already and doing it at a snails place. Indeed Triple H -Kurt Angle fued some years before did capture fans interest.
Its time Kurt Angle be switched over as a heel & HHH be changed over as face. It has tradinally suited Angle to be a Heel more than a face, with his background music " U suck U suck" he would be much more successful if he is turned as a heel rather than face.
HBK was very successful in heel character compared to his current face gimmicks, he indeed finds himself confused which to play, one sudden day he plays heel the very next day he plays face, the reason behind is that old wrestlers get sympathy from public and they like to hold to that rather than getting booed.
Same problem arose with Mankind, he was successful as a heel, being old he is unable to perform the heel gimmick nor can transform to face gimmick.
With all this mind WWE might fear what happen to HHH if he is successful in face gimmick will he be able to play Heel in the later stages, if he cant then who else can play it as good as he did for years.
They tried it with Rock, was least successful and tried with some other old wrestlers nothing clicked.
So the best person to take over from HHH in heel character would be none other than Kurt Angle, if the move is
Carried out it would be good for him, for WWE, & all its fans.
To add further HHH can be changed as an Icon like Hulk, certainly he has the shape, talent, Hard work & love for the company. People might doubt whether he can perform a face character? is it possible for him to do the transition from extreme negative to positive? But I would say WWE should have a go and leave it to time how the move clicks, it might stike gold for them on the other hand even if it fails they can easily revert him back to what he play best Heel.
So in any case its time for WWE to play their Trickiest of games, its time to play the game as Face.
