I'm talking about characters or real people turning heel anywhere else besides pro-wrestling.

Watched the Great Gatsby last night and found Daisy's heel turn to be something that was very wwe-ish. List yours!

The dude in the Alice Cooper song "no more mr nice guy"'. Total heel turn. no one likes him anymore. Even his reverend punched him in the nose. Shame really, he was such a nice fella opening doors for little old ladies.

LOST was the best for face/heel turns. Ben seemed to turn every other episode, he was the Kane of that show. Sawyer was a close second.

How shit is your memory?

Except Ben actually mattered.

I'm pretty sure their heel turn came when they started legal actions against their fans.

When Jay Leno left the Tonight Show, gave it to Conan and then came back and took it away months later.

He should have hit Conan with a Stunner and left him laid out on the sound stage. That would have been ratings.

Metal Gear Solid. Not exactly a heel turn, but I had the same reaction as JR when I got to this point.

You mean he was like Alicia Fox, then?


Art Modell making the announcement he was moving the Browns to Maryland. Worked wonders as a heel turn because they did the dick move (unless you were a holdout Colts fan) of getting Mayflower trucks to rub salt in the wounds AND also got a championship push out of it the same year.

Oddly enough, Tiger sported that goatee after he went heel. Made him look like "Mirror, Mirror" Spock.

In a video game Wheatley in Portal 2, also resulting in a face turn for GLaDOS. Its presumed she went back to everyone's favorite maevolent bitch after... cool heel (see Poker Night at the Inventory 2)

... this thread is giving my phone tremendous difficulty.

Watchted the Great Gatsby and realized the director pulled a heel turn by creating such a terrible movie. I want my 20.50 back.

always liked Urlacher and I think most fans, if they didn't like him, at least respected him. Except for PAckers fans. Now, however, I can see the case being made.

Point of view thing. He turned heel on us, but we turned heel on The British Empire stable. Face pops in our own new nation, boos outside of it. Kinda like a heel Canadian in Canada. Arnold turned heel for heelish reasons and it still made him kind of a hero to England.

The Washington Redskins (management) for not considering changing the name or iconography of something racially insensitive in the same city that changed their basketball image about a decade ago because of gun violence.
