A lot of the wrestlers have been both faces and heels at different times in their careers.
I'd like to know how you handle it. For example, Nick Bockwinkel was well-known as a heel, but now that Larry Zbyszko is in the fed, didn't Bockwinkel wrestle him as a face?
So what do you do? Do you keep Bockwinkel as a heel or do you have him as a face? Or do you just have wrestlers fight their real-life enemies regardless?

I use them as feels "natural" to me.
I have Jim Londos as a face and Strangler Lewis as a heel, but I haven't had their paths really cross yet at all...Londos is feuding with The Sheik and Lewis is in a three-way feud with Bockwinkel and Bobo Brazil, because I had him pull a "Chaos" and call out the top face and top heel. Unfortunately, that's led to him getting his butt kicked, bad.

Some guys move between face and heel (Buddy Rogers has been both numerous times for me) Bock had a short face run, Beefcake is a guy who drifts back and forth as does Greg Valentine (mostly due to a lack of faces) I'd love to make some guys more their natural temparment (Johnny Valentine for instance) but I lack enough high level faces to replace them.

I think alot of it has to do with move set too... even if you really want a guy to be a face, its hard if he's got eye rakes and chokes and foreign objects on his card.

I use the same method as Tommy for the most part. I have deviated a bit though. Masked Superstar was the biggest heel in my Midwest region, but due to a lack of success by the faces across the board, I made Superstar a face and he has done pretty well.
I have always guys like Bock and Rogers as a heel, but have had guys like Race and Brody work as both a heel or a face.

But on the bright side, there are a lot of "tweeners" that fill some roles nicely!!! |

9 times out of 10 I play them as I watched them. What I remember them most being (heel or face). However i will let storylines dictate a bit and switch things around.

I try to have close to an equal balance of faces and heels on both the rosters for the brands (RAW and Smackdown) in my LOW fed.
Although there are definite exceptions, many of the current faces and heels in my fed were the same way in real life. But in no way do I let let that consideration limit my decison making in how to use the wrestlers. Some of my decisions abpout whether someone is currently a face or a hell are also storyline and/or dice influenced.
