I got a cats eye for Pul if you ' re interested . Not home til tomorrow though <| sep |> Approved D <| sep |> 1 . True white meat babyfaces typically require acting ability , which most wrestlers do not have . If they don ' t have acting ability then they need to be naturally relateable . WWE seems to give zero fucks about these requirements . You liked Seth Rollins when he was playing an overthetop , insincere asshole . Now he needs to seem genuine and emotionally relateable and he ' s not pulling it off . It ' s harder to play a good guy than it is to play a bad guy . 2 . The WWE has , in the past , gotten past this issue by making their babyface characters antiheroes . Steve Austin and The Rock both typically were . Being an antihero nearcompletely negates the need for the babyface to meet the acting requirements of the traditional babyface because they are , by definition , characterized by bad guy traits like insincerity . 3 . These days a substantial number of WWE ' s heels are actually written and perform , much to my dismay as antiheroes rather than as villains . Further , too many of the villains aren ' t booked to do things that the audience finds contemptuous or indicative of them having lowvalue or being transgressive . WWE either needs to flip their antihero heels into faces without changing their characters or needs to have them act in a manner that is more offensive and less cool guy that plays by his own rules . 4 . WWE rarely makes its babyfaces look clever but it constantly makes them look dumb . On the other hand , the heels that outsmart them look more clever by comparison , which tells the audience that they ' re higher valuebetter . 5 . Too much time is spent on providing the supposedvillains ' perspective , and in storytelling you emphasize the PoV and the feelings of the protagonist , not the antagonist . Too much time with the antagonist can make them relateable , and the defacto protagonist an antihero ! If the goodguy is less developed audiences will side with the one they can relate to . 6 . Edit The WWE frequently ignores showing the emotional effects of losses on its babyfaces . If a heel does a heel thing to a babyface , we need to see the babyface deal with the emotional fallout of that issue . A bad thing isn ' t a bad thing if we don ' t see it portrayed as having any significant negative impact on the babyface . Showing consequences is important . Presentation is everything . If they kept Rollins ' characterization consistent with what it was he would have been a fantastic antihero babyface .
