With Rock out of the picture for a couple months, who do you think will be the WWF's top babyface? Right now, there is no viable contender for the world title as a babyface. Angle, Austin, HHH, and Jericho are all heels. Taker is a major baby, but is currently not in the world title storyline. Benoit is a face, but not a big enough one or strong enough character to be the top babyface. And they won't bring in a new guy to take that top spot right out of the gate.

I think we'll soon see HHH turn babyface to take on Austin this summer. What do you guys think?

You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.

In response to an IM I just received:

Jericho is a tweener right now, feuding with heel Regal and face Benoit, so he's can't be top face. I just kinda tossed him with the heels.

That better? :)

I'll believe the rumors of wrestlers being out for months when I actually see it. It seems like when the Internet reports certain wrestlers are taking time off for other projects or for vacation they wind up only being out 1 or 2 shows.
That said, the Rock will remain the top face until he actually takes all this time off to make this movie. After that it's either gonna be the Undertaker stepping into the top face role or the Austin-HHH feud will start up again with one of them turning good.

I dunno man, thems wasn't feudin' looks I saw between Y2J and Benoit on Monday. Allow me to, however, break down the candidates for top face:

FACES:
Team Xtreme
2 Cool (GMS and Blackman)
Billy Gunn
K-Kwik
Al Snow
Chyna
The Hollys
The APA
Shane McMahon
Test

TWEENERS, LEANING TOWARDS FACE
Benoit
Y2J
Undertaker
Kane
Tazz
The Dudleyz
Trish Stratus

Seeing as how none of the "true" faces are main eventers, I would have to go with either Benoit or Jericho. Who knows, they might actually team up.

I also think that HHH will stay heel, lest he "divorce" Steph. He and Austin could challenge Edge and Christian at some point, because, as E&C have said, Double Gold rules!

Most likely, its gonna be Benoit, and/or Jericho. Although the way things are going, it looks like they'll either feud or team up, eliminating the possibility of one being top babyface.

I really hope they elevate Jericho. He deserves it. ANYONE who at one time had to job to Chyna deserves AT LEAST a 10 year run with the title. AT LEAST. But I have a feeling that they never will. It seems like Jericho will be a career mid-carder, as much as it pains me. I bet its Austin/Taker until the Rock comes back. oh boy. haven't seen that before......



Indeed.

I can't believe no one is even mentioning TEST as the face who will battle for supremacy. I know it seems far-fetched, but it may happen somehow. Never underestimate Vince's ability to pull stuff outta his ass and get over with it..

Take it down.

I think Test is far fetched, but possible, look what they did with Rikishi, he was a dancing idiot, and he became a major player for a while. I mean even the Big Show won the title last year.

Benoit is a good candidate, and speaking of Benoit did anyone hear on Raw I think how Paul E. said that he was a former undefeated WCW heavyweight champion??? He was, but for 1 day before he jumped over. Thats pretty funny that that fact was even brought up, but it might mean something.

I still think they might turn HHH, he is a fan favorite, so who knows. Vinnie Mac will do whatever he wants, and if someone pisses him off, he will make them pay and they can get lost in the shuffle.

I kinda had test in mind as well, but with Rock leaving really soon, I don't think Test can be elevated in such a short time.

Answer: Mark Henry can't wrestle because of his weight problem, and Shamrock is shoot fighting

Austin will eventually turn on Vince and HHH. You watch and see. Because the WWF is low on top Faces, they will string us along with Austin being a heel and then he'll turn. There is no way to get Austin compleatly over as a heel.

I feel bad for HHH being he has to get the IC belt after being one of the best champs of all time. Good for him to let Austin bask in the spot light though.

Also, I bet Jericho will become a top level guy. He has paid his dues and is SOOOOOO over with the fans.

Mark Henry is still wrestling in OVW, learning how to wrestle...

Test may become a major babyface because I think he's still screwing Stephanie...the boss's daughter has a pretty big say in what's going on...

And I think thye'll team up Jericho and Benoit for one of the first times and put them over huge

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

When Benoit came out last night, he got a pretty good pop, which is great. I think they can do for him something that no ever could. Get him over and make him a favorite. I think him and Jericho would be a good team as well.
