See, I'd say that definition died twenty years ago when Austin was stunning announcers, women and referees while flipping off the crowd and getting pushed as the face of the company. (Edit: Followed by Kurt Angle telling everyone to be honest and have integrity and getting nuclear heel heat for it.)

I'm not saying this has been the plan all along. I think they were legitimately trying to get him over as a traditional face for a long time. But maybe they've changed course now, and this all leads to the fans desperately wanting Brock to destroy him at Summer Slam or Mania or wherever.
