Memorable "Surprising" Heel Turns.

[Favre4Ever]

JR: Wait a minute! Thats Vince McMahon! What in the hell is he doing here?
Heyman: He's throwing Austin that chair!!
***Moments later***
JR: Bah Gawd......Austin and Mcmahon are drinking a steveweiser over the Rocks broken body. Stone Cold has sold his soul to the devil!!! Why Steve? Why?

I was in 9th grade when this happened, and i can remember just sitting there in front of my TV with my jaw hanging open.....i'd been a hardcore Steve Austin fan for a while, and i couldnt believe that the guy i'd been cheerin for for so long had just turned. Then i went kinda crazy and put my friend in the sharpshooter to cool off. Good Times.

Suprisingly, i ended up really liking that Austin heel turn, until he started saying "What?", then i was just like, "........uh, what?"


Heres another pretty goodone. I think it might have been at WAR Games or Survivor Series 1998; whichever one was before Wrestlemania 15. Anyhow, I remember that the WWF had convinced us all,or at least me, pretty well that Mick Foley was Vince Mcmahons pick for the WWF Title. He even had had Foley beat up that little league football coach.(BTW this is the PPV where the Rock beat Bossman in 4 seconds) Anyhow, finally it gets to Rock and Foley, and the Rock throws Foley in the Sharpshooter. And then Mr.Mcmahon comes out and perfectly repeats the Bret Hart screwjob, and the Rock wins. Foley doesnt understand, and Vince explains that Foleys a joke and that the Rock was his man all along. The Rock cuts a promo on being a heel, which the fans cheer for( not fully convinced that the Rocks a bad guy now),and then Stone Cold hits the ring and stuns everybody. Happy End, Classic turn that set the stage for Wrestlemania 15.

I was going to pick the same ones. And yeah, Corporate Rock was Survivor Series '98. Both great turns.

That would be my number one pick. I was a big Austin fan, and a fan of The Rock as well. But when Vince started making his way down to the ring, I just said "oh no", because I knew one of them were turning.

But afterwards, I absolutely hated Austin, wouldn't even wear his shirt for a while. Yet, he is still my favorite of all time.
