The Top 5 Heel/Face turns of all time...?

* THE TOP 5 TURNS OF ALL TIME *

5. "MACHO MAN" RANDY SAVAGE (1989): Savage had spent the early part of his World Wrestling Federation career as a heel. Then, in 1987, he slowly became a good guy. What eventually ensued was Savage teaming with Hulk Hogan to form The Mega Powers, and Savage even winning the WWF Title at WrestleMania IV. Everything was fine, until the 1989 Royal Rumble where Hogan accidentally eliminated Savage (of course). Savage exploded on Hogan and became a heel, putting Elizabeth in the middle of the confrontation. The Mega Powers broke up and fought each other at WrestleMania V, where Savage lost the WWF Title to Hogan (of course).

4. - 3 WAY TIE - THE ROCK (1997), THE ROCK (1999) & THE ROCK (2002): What makes all of the Rock's turns so interesting is that they were all purely fan-driven. He debuted in 1996 as the clean-cut Rocky Miavia. Despite him being a face, the fans booed him, and he was turned heel in 1997. During his time as a heel, the Rock found a great deal of charisma, and the fans cheered him, so he was made a face. Then starting with his match with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18, fans started booing him again (probably for leaving to do movies). He thus became a heel. Each of the turns was completely dictated by the fans, not the storylines, which makes the Rock one of the more interesting cases in wrestling history, since fans apparently don't like being told how to feel about the character.

3. ANDRE THE GIANT (1987): For the better part of his career Andre the Giant became internationally known as an unbeatable wrestling attraction. Fans loved him. However, after almost 15 years of being the good guy, Andre turned against Hulk Hogan in early 1987, setting up the most memorable wrestling match of all time at WrestleMania III.

2. "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN (1997): When coming to the World Wrestling Federation as the Ringmaster in 1995, Austin became a misanthropic bad guy in 1996. He crushed the dreams of Jake Roberts at King of the Ring and went on to be a major heel. That is, up until a double-turn at WrestleMania 13 where, in a submission match, Bret Hart became a heel and Steve Austin became a beer-swilling, bird-flipping, boss-stunnering face. What ensued was the WWF Attitude era.

1. "HOLLYWOOD" HOGAN (1996): It seems to be the consensus here and, in truth, its the correct answer. In truth, Hogan had flirted with a heel turn in 1995, but WCW held back, trying to find the right way to do it. And its great that they did. No wrestling turn has ever meant more than on July 7, 1996 when Hulk Hogan, after over a decade of Hulkamania, turned heel and joined Scott Hall & Kevin Nash to form the New Wolrd Order (nWo). It set the wrestling world upside down and helped fuel the Monday Night Wars and brought the sport to new heights.

NOTE: The Randy Orton face turn could be a big deal if properly executed. The same thing goes for Jeff Hardy's heel turn in TNA, which actually seems to be going decently. Ken Anderson's face turn has been successful, but I really wish he'd go back to being a heel. I think we all can't wait for a legitimate John Cena heel turn.

5. The double turn with the Powers of Pain and Demolition at the first ever survivor series. One ditched Mr. Fuji, and the other picked him up.

4.David Arquette turning on DDP. This falls strictly under the category of shock, as all this angle did was fill me with a psychotic rage at how asinine and cheapened the WCW title had become.

3. Shawn Michaels turning on Marty Janetty. We all saw the breakup of the Rockers coming, it was a nice slow build up. What we didn't see was Shawn throwing Marty through the glass window.

2. Jake the Snake Roberts teams with the Undertaker. Jake had been a classic western hero for so long, (getting his snake crushed by Earthquake, getting 'blinded' by Rick Martel, getting a near constant beatdown from Andre the Giant) only to get back up again and keep going that it was surprising the powers that be finally made him a bad guy. Having him hold a cobra that bit Randy Savage made us all squeamish as kids too.

1. Hulk Hogan joining the NWO. Growing up, Hulk was an idol to all of us. True, he couldn't out wrestle a plastic baggie, but it didn't matter to us kids, he was larger than life. To see him come down the aisle to save the day once again only to turn on everyone and spray paint 'NWO' on people, that's the kind of heat money can't even buy. To watch the fans pelt the ring with trash, that is the reaction that makes timeless moments.

Well i don't know how long you have been watchin wrestling so im going to go with some recent ones

Heel Turn

Jeff Hardy Hulk Hogan Jeff Jarrett/Immortal 2010

It was a total shock to me i would have never thought TNA would build a 7 month storyline but it turned out to be a good one and i hope it comes down with a Big Bang!

Heel Turn

Matt Hardy 2008

Well i think i speak for everyone in the WS when i say i never saw this one coming it does not get better than brotherly hate and jealousy i like how they had Matt make the Heel turn because if it was Jeff it would have been so Idiotic.

Face Turn

Matt Morgan 2010

He was with Forture and Immortal and who would have thought he would have turn on them for The So Called "Asshole" and his concusion so that was a shock to me when he wipped Jarret's *** at the end of impact and signed that contract for the title shot.

Face Turn

Kurt Angle 2010

After the stints with the Godfather of the Main Event Mafia i never saw a Angle Face turn coming so it was a shock to me and i also thought that there was nothing left with him as a heel so it was a good move to turn him Face.

Last One was a toss up between Batista's Heel turn and Aj Style's Heel turn but i will go with Batista's

Heel turn

Batista 2009

I thought batista would never do it but he did and i loved it batista was a great heel and it was nice to see him heel and not some ones lackey (Triple H) it was unexpected and shocking so it was a good move and WWE also got a WM main Event out of it.

1. hogan turning heel - people were in total shock when he went to wcw and then turned heel in the nwo.

2. jeff hardy - his recent heel turn has really set tna fans on their ears. they are still in total shock.

3. the rock - he turned from heel to face in such a quick turn around that everyone's jaw stayed dropped for sometime and just when the shock had worn off he changed again to heel and then went face again.

4. stone cold steve austin - he came in and you really didn't know whether he was a heel or face and then you found out that he was really a heel the he did i quick change and became the face of wwf.

5. andre the giant - when he did a change from face to heel people just couldn't believe it. he started running around with bobby the brain heenan and then just before he left he switched back to a face. but his switch to a heel is one that probably i would guess was one of the most shocking.

agree with Susudio except no.5. it would be Shawn Michaels turned on Hulk Hogan in 2005 and leaded to a match in SummerSlam 2005

Heel: Mr. McMahon, Edge, JBL, Chris Masters, Batista
