Permanent faces or heels?

Good morning, Scott –

I was watching the 1992 Royal Rumble last night (Heenan is the G.O.A.T.), and was wondering – how many people were permanently babyfaces or heels their entire careers?

I know that Ric Flair mentions Ricky Steamboat as someone who was ALWAYS a face, but did the following people ever have a heel turn in them?

1.) The Von Erichs

2.) Sting (the real Sting, not fake Sting)

3.) Tito Santana

Conversely, the only permanent heel I can think of off the top of my head is the Iron Sheik, but I may be forgetting a face turn for him somewhere.

Who am I missing?

Dino Bravo Sucks

​Dino was a pretty good babyface in Montreal when he didn’t weigh 300 pounds. Just sayin’.

Anyway, the Von Erichs were never heels as a unit, but David was definitely a heel in Florida because he wanted to learn how to do it and enjoyed the challenger of getting over outside of Texas. He was pretty good at it, too.

Sting was a heel for most of his early career as the Blade Runners and then as Eddie Gilbert’s lackey in the UWF, and it really wasn’t until Jim Crockett bought the company that he turned babyface. Plus there was the horrible heel run he had in 1999. ‘member that? Yeah, there you go.

I wanna say Tito was a heel at some point but I can’t remember specifically where.

I can’t recall any babyface run for Sheiky Baby, but Rick Rude never turned babyface at any point, so he’s my pick for perma-heel.
