Try to ignore for a moment the fact that we know it turned out well.
Would you have turned Rocky heel in '97?
Despite the popular myth that he was heavily unpopular he was only booed at the really smart crowds like Wrestlemania and the Rumble. Fans didn't particularly hate him, they were just underwhelmed by him. Does it really make sense to turn your best prospect and demote him to a race based jobber stable, just because a bunch of neckbeard smarks started bitching? Why not just give the dude time to find his feet as a baby?

If I saw the swagger of "The Rock" backstage then yeah absolutely you try to bring that out.
If not, I would have tried to single out some core things that worked with the Rocky character and find him a good rival that brought that out. Which happened later on anyway.

Great bait OP anyway.

Yeah. Two reasons. Rocky Maivia was a faggot character who would never get over (literally Apollo Crews in some aspects) and you can't force the fans to like someone. Would I expect him to have been as good as he would be? Fuck no, but I know that putting him with a gimmick and role that he sucked at would be helping no one. I'm basically paying this guy to suck at his job.

You are remembering shit incorrectly. When he joined Farooq was working with Undertaker and had shots at the title

If rocky went heel and never became too big that would have been ideal because then we wouldn't have 143 obese Samoans shitting up the main roster

Yeah, why not? Not like he was a draw. What's the worst that can happen if you accidently ruin his career.
