But whats a heel and whats a face and all that other jargon?

 

[boncer34]

Heel is the bad guy and face is the good guy.

So say when Edge and HHH fight atm Edge is the Heel and HHH is the face.

There are also tweener's that to good and do dirty stuff but the crowd still loves them.

Thanks a lot for all the replies.

eg - Cena.

Cena's no tweener. He's booked as a face, and marketed as a face.

The meaning of that has changed a bit. I think Austin fits that definition but is always a face. A tweener is a wrestler who doesn't align with heels or faces and seems to feud with anyone. Samoa Joe perhaps before his title reign was a tweener and Jamie Noble is probably the best example in WWE currently. Eddie Guerrero with his "cheats to win" gimmick wasn't really a tweener.

Nowadays every face uses cheap tactics in some way or another, the do-gooder gimmick just doesn't work.

Steve Austin and the Road Warriors are the quintessential prototypes for tweeners. Good guys who get face heat but do things heels do, ie: beat the piss out of people. Most faces these days are actually tweeners.

Jericho is the greatest tweener of all time.

I still like to call tweeners wrestlers who consistently feud with faces and heels and not simply a heel who gets a bit of a pop or a face who is a bad ass or cheats.

Undertaker is a tweener aswell.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Wrestling jargon is terrible. I really hate it when people say they "mark out". Lame.

 

[Made4September]

Politician, a wrestler who establishes connections with management in hopes of garnering the backstage clout to influence creative and business decisions behind the scenes.

Does that make HHH, the Prime Minister?

This board is pretty good but I've had a quick look at other boards and they just say "I'm a mark for" and abuse people for being marks or smarts or smarks and basically every board is full of Cena wars.

Undertaker isn't really a tweener. He's a face. A tweener is someone who consistently feuds/fights heels and faces and his character is still the same (i.e. they don't turn heel/face every month). Sure every now and again there's a face vs. face feud but then they go back to fighting heels.

Umaga is probably the closest thing to a tweener in the WWE. He is not booked in feuds against heels but he definitely still attacks/fights them and doesn't side with heels, have a look at when JBL tried to get him on his side.

Haha, I reckon the reason this board is so good is because there's about eight posts a day, but I definitely agree with the part about other forums. I joined one about 4-6 weeks ago, and you might get one thread worth of dicussion in every 20, at best. It's all wrestler x > wrestler y, cena sucks, and wtflolrofllmao.

Finlay seemed to be very 'tweenerish' for a few months a while ago before his face turn, I can remember him alternating between fighting heels and faces, and his character staying exactly the same.
