Back in the late 90's VKM came up with this brilliant story line with a group known as The Corporation.

 

The group was put together and led by WWF chairman Mr. McMahon in an attempt to secure control of the WWF and eliminate the more rebellious wrestlers, such as Stone Cold Steve Austin. Previously, McMahon started surrounding himself with an entourage consisting of The Corporate Stooges, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson, WWF commissioner Slaughter[2] and his personal enforcer Big Boss Man to help him quell the rebellious actions of Steve Austin. The Corporation was officially formed on November 16, 1998[1] when Shane and Vince McMahon along with Big Boss Man, Slaughter, and Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco reconciled, joining forces with The Rock, who was The Corporation's proclaimed "Crown Jewel" (and whom they helped win the WWF Championship at Survivor Series), holding the WWF Championship three times while part of the group. Later in the show, Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock would be recruited onto "Team Corporate", an unofficial name stated by announcers Jim Ross.

 

The group became notorious for using their political stroke in the company to give the group vast degrees of advantages in matches. Corporation members were known to adopt "cleaned-up businessmen" modifications to their individual characters. For example, The Rock's "People's Champion" modus operandi changed, as he became known as "The Corporate Champion" during his tenure in the stable. The group subsequently became the most dominant stable in the company by the end of 1998, with Corporate members The Rock, Ken Shamrock, and Big Boss Man holding the WWF, Intercontinental, and Hardcore Championships respectively. Shamrock and Boss Man were briefly double champions as well during this time, as they held the WWF Tag Team Championship.

 

The group proceeded to terrorize the rest of the WWF roster as well, freely using their political strokes and corporate agenda to put down their authority on other wrestlers. Besides Steve Austin, who was their main adversary, the popular faction of rebels D-Generation X (DX) butted heads with the stable over principles with DX leader Triple H challenging The Rock for the WWF Championship, but often losing due to screwing on the part of The Corporation. The stable also found themselves under attack by Mankind, who was still bitter at Mr. McMahon for screwing him out of the WWF title at Survivor Series by having the bell rung when The Rock put the Sharpshooter on him immediately despite not tapping (recreating the previous year's Montreal Screwjob).

Traditional faces are classic "good guy" characters who rarely break the rules, follow instructions of those in authority such as the referee, are polite and well-mannered towards the fans and often overcome the rule-breaking actions of their heel opponents to cleanly win matches.[citation needed] While many modern faces still fit this model, other versions of the face character are now also common. A good example would be Stone Cold Steve Austin, who despite playing a heel early on in his career would start to be seen more of an antihero because of his popularity with the fans. While clearly not championing rule following, nor submission to authority, Austin was still regarded as the face in many of his duels such as his rivalry with World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) owner Mr. McMahon.

Types of Babyfaces

While behaving as a face is often part of a wrestler's gimmick, many successful faces fall into one or more categories:

 

Anti-Hero

A face who either lacks traits of a traditional babyface or acts like a heel, but gets cheered nonetheless. Common tactics include attacking Dictators and other heels, breaking the rules as a way of "leveling the playing field" against cheating heels, only interfering in matches when they have had enough of the heels cheating on a certain babyface, and cutting edge, but popular promos.

 

Examples include Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, D-Generation X, Sting (since The Crow gimmick), Owen Hart (since the Montreal Screwjob from late 1997 to early 1998), and Hulk Hogan (since his face turn in 2002).

Look, as a WrestlingFanFag I've been watching this stuff for over 30 years and all I can tell you is that I agree with Q but IMO this is more of an 8 year story line than 3 separate movies. "Same difference".

"What if I told you right now that there's a very good chance many of you… will vote for a professional wrestler to be the next POTUS?"
