Also, for the period when Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit carried out a team in 2002, they played of the characters of tweener, competing with the faces Edge and Rey Mysterio, and the heels Los Guerreros. Carlito can also be regarded as a tweener as it is popular with the fans but will attack any person who will mettera herself on her way or whom it just like feels threatened (that it is face or heel) by carrying out immoral acts like spitting on the face of its beaten adversaries. Hardcore Holly is also often regarded as a perfect example of the tweener. Shawn Michaels can also be the perfect example of the tweener, making very to arrive at its ends.
