Whatever Happened to the Babyface?

Have you noticed how the heels of the WWE have been doing a better job than the faces? I remember when the Rock, who's arguably the best mic worker, would do an awesome promo, and then back it up with great ring skills.

Nowadays, we have the big E shoving John Cena and Batista down our throats. With the exception of HBK & Taker, the majority of the babyfaces either have mediocre mic skills, are bad wrestlers, or both.

Sure, we had Triple H. He has great mic and ring skill, but his babyface character became stale and, hopefully, he'll return to the man whom I once hated.

You may say that Christian is a top face in the WWE. Yes, this is true, but he's the top face on the C show. No offense to the Captain, but he could do better than ECW.

Some hope for the babyfaces includes CM Punk and MVP. Punk's skill need work, but in due time we'll see some results.

John Morrison is in the middle of a face turn. He reminds me of HBK, but Brian Kendrick reminds me of HBK more than Morrison does.

Let's hope that we find a babyface for whom kids and Bleacher Report writers can cheer. I'm tired of booing people for whom I'm supposed to cheer.
