Rick Steamboat was always a face. He wanted to try to be a heel, but Pat Patterson told him no.

> Ricky Steamboat: Oh sure, sure. It was the early nineties, I think '91 when I was working with the WWF and I went up to Pat Patterson and told him I wanted to try and work as a heel as least one time in my career. Paterson looked at me and said: “Steamboat, you’re the consummate baby face. I can send you out to the ring with a chainsaw and you can cut off both of Hulk Hogan’s arms, and the fans just wouldn’t believe it.” I was kind of let down by it because I really did want to try and work as a heel.
