A normal heel turn entails a clearly defined face turning against what is thought to be "right".

Most fans of ECW watched 99% of the time to see that happen anyway, no big deal.
The only logical sense this made[involving Dreamer] was to turn Foley simply off of attacking Dreamer. Didn't seem to work though, as the crowd Monday seemed to cheer Foley anyway.
I'm interested to see how they'll try to get Foley over as a heel in the weeks to come.

People complaining about the crowd aside:
1. It was unexpected. Surprising us in wrestling is often a bad thing. Wrestling is very formulaic, and not only did they do it in a way that was a surprise, but in a way that I found to be very anticlimactic.
2. Yes, anticlimactic. I'm sitting here wondering what the point of all that was. I mean, I know it was to promote ECW and turn someone heel, but what else? Most everything in wrestling has a flow, and while sometimes turns don't make sense, they usually have some sort of flow to them in the process.
3. People want to cheer Foley. This has been the case like, forever.
4. I'm betting the people who CARE about ECW wanted him to side with it.
