I loved the Tatanka Heel Turn

[Loose Cannon]

like how they built Tatanka up as the super babyface trying to rid the WWE of evil sellouts like Lex Luger. All the kids trusted and loved the good Indian. Then they tear your heart out and stomp on it as Tatanka sells out to greed.

They did it with Rock in 98 too. good times.

I Love Wrestling :love:

[The One]

I (use to) Love Wrestling

And yeah, that was a very well done turn. :y:

[Caged Heat18]

I agree. It was a suprise at the time.

[M-A-G]

A Native American selling out to the man for cash? I'd say that's pretty low.

[Disturbed316]

Stuffing the bills in Lugers in mouth was the final insult :heart:

[Team Sheep]

Lol I thought you were gonna talk about his recent heel turn. What a waste of time that was.

[The Genius]

i loved seeing ludvig borga end his winning streak

[Disturbed316]

That was back when chair shots almost killed them.

[NeanderCarl]

Even back then as a gullible mark, I could still see that Tatanka heel turn coming a mile away.

[Crippla]

Nah, to me that was a very well done heel turn at the time. Great stuff back then.

[NeanderCarl]

Luger had only just turned face, and was receiving the sort of mega-face push Cena's been receiving for two years. There was no way he was going heel and joining DiBiase, it just didn't feel right even as a markish kid. There can't have been many people who didn't smell a rat when Tatanka randomly declared that Luger had "sold out".

[Crimson]

Lost in all that was the fact that, DiBiase was the man.

[Shisen Kopf]

It was a good angle. Another awesome thing Tatanka did.

[theexample]

It didn't make sense. Tatanka knew he had sold out. Luger knew he hadn't. I love Ludvig Borga to this day.

[XL]

Of course it made sense. Tatanka accused Luger of selling out, Luger denied it despite the evidence to the contrary. Then *WHAM* Tatanka heel turn. Great misdirection.

[Crippla]

Nah, to me that was a very well done heel turn at the time. Great stuff back then.

"Lex, I thought you were my friend..."

[voncouch]

I remember actually watching that PPV and getting legit swerved. Then when I got home, my friend left a long-ass message on my answering machine marking out, giving the poll results, etc
