    The most unexpected heel turns I've experienced were Stone Cold's two heel turns in 2001. I still thought wrestling was real at the time(I was in the second grade), so I couldn't believe it.

    The first of that year was on April 1 at Wrestlemania 17. Austin was (and still is) my favourite wrestler, so I was super excited that he was getting a shot at the WWF Title after not seeing him with it for so long. I was so excited, I was unable to sleep the night before. This was before internet streaming was big, and we had super slow internet at the time, so I had to wait until the next day to find out what happened.

    When I first found out I was in the library at school the next day. Some of the older kids came up to me and asked me if I had heard what happened last night. I said no and they don't me Austin had won the WWF title. I was happy, "But," they said, "He joined Vince." My eyes popped out of my head, I couldn't believe Austin would team up with his biggest rival. I watched Raw that night and looked on stunned as I watched my hero accept the WWF title from Mr. McMahon. I felt he had sold me out.

    He turned face again a short time after to help the WWF fight off the Invasion from WCW/ECW. Like the mark I was, I started cheering him and was happy because he was a good guy again. The night of the Invasion PPV, I went on the internet to read the results (so I wouldn't get any surprises the next day). I was horrified when I read that Austin had turned on the WWF to help WCW/ECW win the inaugural brawl. I was also terrified at the prospect off WCW/ECW putting the WWF out of business. And now that they had the WWF Champion on their side, I was sure they would.

    Stone Cold worked so well as both a face and heel

    some heel turns the two reinvigorated or made careers. Case for reinvigorating a occupation, Hulk Hogan had moved to WCW and he had gotten so stale he exchange into getting booed out of arenas. The infamous eye poke of doom and Voodoo baby beginning as much as play became Hogan into between the suited heels in wrestling historic previous and made his turn back to a face that plenty extra desirable. Case for making a occupation. HBK exchange into caught interior the decrease mid-card with Marty Jannetty by way of fact the Rockers. After a pair weeks of build up, a gap on the Barber save the place he places Jannetty with the aid of a window and could become between the suited heels in wrestling historic previous. then you particularly've turns that are pushed by the team, the suited occasion of that's D-era X. the team exchange into initially designed as a heel sturdy with HBK, HHH, Rick impolite (R.I.P) and Chyna and that they started getting over. Then impolite leaves for WCW, they upload X-%, BA Gunn and highway Dogg (2 different heels) and start up a feud with The united states of america of Domination to make the rustic a face team and everybody takes to DX like a duck to water. then you particularly've skills like Ric aptitude, Sting, Rey Mysterio, HBK, and HHH that have equipped up plenty cache with the aid of the years that they are going to be remembered as a face even with no count if or not they have been a heel.

    Well the easy and famous answer is Hulk Hogan joining the nWo in the 1990s while in WCW. Totally unexpected which is why it was so famous and one people still talk about to this day (well those who knew anything about wrestling during that time)

    Mark Henry's heel turn.

    At 40 years old, you'd think he was done for, and he would just remain unknown and retire.
