Me and my friends were talking and we remembered the article that had the storyline writer sa he forgot about Hass's Heel turn on Miss Jackie and Dawn and the next week had him team with Holly. Then we laughed because tha night Heel Eugene took the role of a face facing Kahli. Then to top it off, Divari acted face like in his match against Helms.
what I'm getting at is, how wany forgtable heel turns have them been/ most memorable to you?

Jericho plays the heel nicely, but it was shitty timing and he was poorly booked and it really damaged the wave he was riding (late 01).
Road Doggs heel turn with DX in late 99 was a joke. All the rest could get over as heels, and he was just in limbo. A heel who still relied off crowd involvement. They loved him but they weren't allowed to, and he had to play heel. Killed his career.

Foley turning heel on Tommy Dreamer last year was a bit WTF for me.

The Rocks heel turns in general seemed to always be bad, not from a wrestling stand-point because he was good enough to make an awesome heel, but the fact that no matter what fans would cheer him because he is known as the super-face of WWE.

Austin- WM17
Triple H- WM15; It took months for him to catch on as a heel. Wasn't until the Steph marriage angle that he finally found his niche as a heel.
Benjamin- No reason to turn him because he was tremendously over as a face. Best example is his reaction and position on the card on Taboo Tuesday 2006 versis Taboo Tuesday 2005. Major drop.

it didn't totally suck, the first Rock Concert was excellent.
Worst heel turn was Goldberg. Totally pointless.

Sting, Goldberg, and Austin. These heel turns were horrible and never picked off.
However, there is one heel turn that is the WORST of all time...and it's....drum roll please..............
Steve Blackman's heel turn. The fans didn't even notice. I didn't even notice either...till I read it up on Rajah.

Wow. I don't ever remember a Goldberg heel turn and I watched WCW until the end. I guess it was SO stupid that it didn't even register.

Add to that when Rock was talking about his match when Goldberg debuted.
'You want to see The Rock vs Goldberg, in the biggest match of all time, no bigger match ever, Rock/Goldberg at Backlash.....
Nahhhhh!'
Had me in stiches. I only appreciate him now he's gone.

Jeff Hardy's heel turn.
Don't remember it? That's not the pot talking, it lasted for one match.

Tazz being the heel announcer, thus against the ECW originals.

I dont think ANYTHING really compares to how bad austins heel turn was at 17....it sucked more then any heel turn ever, and yes, i DID see the goldberg heel turn. bad, but not as much
yea, im back.
Tried to turn on my heel the other day but lost my balance and fell. Pretty bad heel turn right there.

Austin to me was the most high profile dissaster as no one knew what the hell was going on, it ruined a perfectly good main event. And took 1 week to explain after.
Goldberg's was desperation on WCW's part

Bet no one remembers when Rey Mysterio Jr. turned heel in 2000. I wish I didn't.
Or Hacksaw Jim Duggan joining Team Canada. That one was pretty lame as well.

I thought Duggan joined "The Revolution" not Lance Storm's Canadian stable. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Yeah, so did the late Mike Awesome if you can believe that.
Sting's heel turn was completely ass-backwards yet probably merited from a wrestling point of view. Wasn't sold well enough to make any sense.
The Dominic angle was probably the worst way to turn Eddie at the time, since Eddie could play a heel like no one's buisness. The whole angle just reeked of shit.
I went a bit WTF when Foley screwed over ECW last year, but the fans were the main problem there not Foley.
Edge as a heel right now, for the record, is just lack luster and not very interesting. If "Rated R" was on anyone else they'd allready have lost all the push they have/had.
Rick Stiener's turn after the Finger Poke was pretty shitty. It basically consisted of him doing the same things he did as a face, but with his brother, some sunglasses, and a NWO wolfpac shirt.

The Godberg heel turn was when Vince Russo was still on WCW TV (I think). Anyway, there was a PPV coming up and Russo kept saying how something big was gonna go down and how it would be the biggest thing in wrestling history etc.
The whole internet new it would just be a Goldberg heel turn but they kept plugging away with the whole 'biggest thing in wrestling history' stuff, anyway, he came out and speared whoever the face who was main eventing was, it was shit.
