You know those heel turns where your sitting there watching a match or a segment of wrestling and all of a sudden a wrestler turns heel and your like, "wtf, I can't believe that just happened." Well maybe you didn't say that, but you know what I'm talking about. So, post some of those surprising heel turns that you have seen. I'll start us off with a few and the most obvious one. Try not to post a lot of the same one's.

* Hogan turns on WCW and joins NWO: Yeah, we've seen this and heard about this about a thousand times, but it sure is one of, if not the, best. This turn was done very well and it surprised the sh** out of me as I thought Hulk could never go heel. One thing of note about this segment is something Heenan said that kind of convinced me Hulk WAS NOT turning when he came down the isle at Bash at the Beach. Usually whenever there is an angle about "wrestler x" joining a heel stable or turning heel, the announcers will tell you who they think it is and they're always wrong. Well when Hogan came down the isle, Heenan said something like, "But who's side is he on" and then Dusty was like "What are you talking about." Right there I was convinced Hogan wasn't turning, cause you never ever hear an announcer say something true like that. I thought that was pretty cool and maybe should be done more often to try and trick the fans.

*Scott Hall turns on Kevin Nash: Yeah, this one definately made me go, "WTF. I can't believe that just happened." Hall and Nash were not only best of friends in a wrestling storyline, but in real life too. It was very hard to imagine one turning on the other because they were so close in and out of the ring. I think it was the Slamboree PPV that the turned happend. It was the Outsiders vs Sting and Giant for the tag belts. Nash just brought Hall back and introduced him as the newest member of "Wolpac NWO" at the PPV. Well, Nash set Giant up for the Powerbomb and all of a sudden Hall comes in, picks up the tag belt, and SMACK!!!!!! He hits Nash right over the head with it and Giant gets the pin. I swear my heart sank on this one as I loved the Outsiders. I love to watch the crowd's reaction here too because they were shocked as hell. You could see the crowd simutaneously stand up when it happend. Pretty Cool.

**Bret Hart turns on Sting: This happened on Monday Nitro. Bret was fighting Hulk, but his leg "gave out" and the Wolfpac (Sting, Lugar, Konnan) came down and helped him out. Sting volunteered to replace Bret and take on Hogan while Lugar and Konnan wheeled Bret to the back on a strecher. Well Lugar and Konnan were attacked in the back by Steiner and Bagwell and Bret hobbled back to the ring. Now WCW did a great job in convincing the audience that there was big heat between Bret and HOGAN at this point, so the thought never crossed my mind that Bret was turning. So Sting gives Hogan a Stinger Splash and Hart is at the ring already. Sting goes for the Sharpsho.....errrrrr.....Scorpian Deathlock and Bret cheers him on. Sting gets the thing locked and BAM...Bret DDT's Sting into the mat. Man I was pissed cause I loved Bret, even heel, but I hated Hogan. Then Bret starts smashing the sh** out of Sting with a chair and puts the Sharpshooter on him. Hogan and Hart hug and the crowd is pissed.

Okay, post some of yours. I'll post some more later.
