Macho definitely wasn't a heel the whole time past 1989. From 92-97 both in WWF & WCW he was a babyface all the way until he joined the NWO and went babyface again when he joined the Wolfpac

  @DGMG Yes he turned face March 24 1991 at the end of his Retirement Match with Ultimate Warrior during Wrestlemania VII. Sherri went nuts on him, Elizabeth came from the crowd and threw out Sherri, when Macho realised what happened he and Elizabeth embraced and he was a face again until as you say he joined the NWO in WCW.
