Sometimes in WWE, it's a lot more fun to play the bad guy.
After all, heels arguably have the easier job, as it's simple what to say to get fans to boo you and hate your guts.
Heels are often cooler as well, with a prime example of this being the gormless, bland, Rocky Maivia, who after months of smiling and pandering to the crowd, gave in to the hate and became The Rock.
But there are some Superstars, who were able to fight off the temptation of turning, unlike the Great One.
These stars remained on the path of good and justice throughout their careers.
Here are five WWE Superstars who remained true heroes for the fans, and never turned heel.
Note: For this list, we're strictly looking at heel turns in the WWE and no other promotions.
#5 Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat
The WWE has seen plenty of shocking heel turns, from 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin to Daniel Bryan.
But if there was one Superstar that simply couldn't turn, it was Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat.
An excellent wrestler, who was known as a loving family man out of the ring, it made no sense to turn one of the nicest men in wrestling to the dark side.
Instead, Steamboat feuded with some of the greatest heels of all time, such as Randy Savage and Ric Flair, helping to elevate his opponents to new heights in villainy, for trying to destroy the Dragon.
The Steamer only added to the reasons why fans adore him when he returned in 2009 to feud with Chris Jericho and impressed everyone with his skills and athleticism.
#4 Hillybilly Jim
A country boy from Mudlick, Kentucky, Hillbilly Jim was one of the most recognizable stars of the 1980s.
A Superstar adored by fans old and young, Jim's rise as a face was definitely helped by being trained by the Immortal Hulk Hogan, years before the Hulkster would abandon the red and yellow for nWo black and white in 1996.
A fun-loving star, Jim was just as popular when he returned at WrestleMania X-Seven in 2001, impressing both the fans in the Astrodome and those watching around the world with the great shape he had maintained.
The closest Jim ever got to turning heel came years later when he managed the Godwinns during the New Generation era.
Though a heel turn was speculated on, the company never followed through, as Jim left the duo before anything could escalate.
#3 Bruno Sammartino
The Italian Stallion, Bruno Sammartino, was the embodiment of the American dream.
Moving to the United States after World War Two, Sammartino would become a symbol of hope for immigrants everywhere, and gathered a legion of fans.
After all, it's kinda hard to boo a man who spent his childhood opposing the Nazis.
Becoming one of the earliest WWWF Champions, Sammartino's reign would last an astonishing twelve years, a feat no other Superstar has come close to matching.
An instant draw, the company would always sell out Madison Square Garden simply because Bruno's name was on the marquee.
Turning him heel would have been devastating for the fans and would have probably cost the company a lot of money, so it's for the best that Bruno remained a good guy throughout his entire career.
#2 The Ultimate Warrior
With his energetic entrance and captivating look, the Ultimate Warrior quickly garnered a legion of loyal fans during his career in the WWE.
A hero to many, Warrior never embraced the dark side, not even when he put his Intercontinental Title on the line against WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan, at WrestleMania 6.
Winning the title, Warrior would hold the gold for months before losing it and would leave the WWF for good in 1996, after squashing a young Triple H.
Though never being a heel, the company certainly portrayed him as a real-life bad guy, in their documentary 'The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior', during his lengthy absence.
Thankfully, Warrior returned to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014, and appeared at WrestleMania 30 and the next RAW, before his sad passing that Tuesday.
#1 Rey Mysterio
The master of the 619 has been wowing the WWE Universe since his debut in 2002, but it may come as a shock to many fans to discover Rey Mysterio has never been a heel in the company.
Over the past 17 years, Mysterio has certainly made huge strides as a face, including being a former Cruiserweight, Tag Team, WWE, and World Heavyweight Champion, as well as a Royal Rumble winner.
This stream of positivity from Mysterio may come due to his mask, as Rey remains one of the biggest merch sellers in company history.
The closest fans have had to see a Mysterio heel turn came in SmackDown Vs. RAW 2011, where the player can choose to turn Rey heel and align him with Jack Swagger.
We're sure the real Rey is disgusted at his video game counterpart.
