Ranking the Top 5 greatest heel turns of all time

          Wrestling now-a-days isn't like it was back in the day. Now? Everyone loves a good heel. Nothing is better than a good heel, like I said....everyone loves a good heel now. Back in the 1970's-80s people thought this shit was real and would follow these guys around town to town looking to kill them. Now the heel is the cool guy and the face is the lame ass nerd. With some many terrible and stupid heel turns that have happened in the history of professional wrestling there are some that were just incredible and seemed to stop time. Let's jump into and take a look at what I think are the greatest heel turns in wrestling history




5) Stone Cold sells his Soul to Vince
It was Wrestlemania 17, Austin v's the Rock, an incredible match that ended with Stone Cold......a man who has been feuding with Vince McMahon for years prior to this Wrestlemania, accepting a chair from Vince and beating the Rock and earning the 1-2-3 win. Austin was covered in blood, shaking Vince's hand forming a partnership with Vince, perhaps? No actually, this would have been way higher on my list but the fact that they almost literally did nothing with this heel turn that is why it's so low on the list. It was for sure shocking but the end result of the hell turn was almost nothing.


4) Seth Rollins turns on his Brothers
The Shield was the hottest thing in WWE in 2014. The Shield was really white hot, a night after decimating Evolution. Then the next night on Monday Night Raw, Triple H kept talking about how there is always a "Plan B". Turns out that Plan B came in the form of Seth Rollins, Rollins was behind Roman Reigns and leveled him with a steel chair....then Dean Ambrose. Rollins went on to decimate Reigns and Ambrose as Randy Orton entered the ring as Reigns and Ambrose were down. Rollins went on to have a tremendous heel run and has literally been one of the better heels in the past 10 years in wrestling. Plus I want you to re-watch the video of Rollins hit Ambrose with a chair and listen closely to the fan yell "NOOOO!" it is laugh out loud funny every time.


3) Sgt. Slaughter turns his back on America
Sgt Slaugher, ARMED FORCES SGT. SLAUGHTER! He turned his back on this country while we were fighting the Gulf War and joined forces with the Iraqi enemy in Colonel Mustafa. Slaughter went from Army Vet to Iraqi sympathizer. This was absolute wild scenes for WWE during this time. Fans wanted Slaughter dead, I mean literally dead, to the point where they had to re-locate his family and move the event due to bomb threats. People actually thought this shit was really and Slaughter aligned himself with the Iraqi's.


2) Shawn Michaels throws Marty Jannetty through the Barbershop window
The Rockers, honestly one of my favorite tag teams of all-time, why? On an edition of Brutus The Barber Beefcakes Barbershop, the Rockers were there to patch things up, make things right and become a team again. For a moment there, they did make things right and became the the Rockers again but that was short lived. Right after the hug, Shawn Michaels delivered what may have been the first ever "Sweet Chin Music" to Jannetty" this was such a shocking moment. But god damn was this made so much better by Bobby "the Brain" Heenan on commentary by saying "Oh I just knew he was gonna do that". Michaels proceeded to throw Marty through the barbershop window and once again The Brain delivered one of the greatest lines in WWE history by saying  "Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape, what an act of cowardice". Just an overall perfect and awesome heel turn.


1) Hulk Hogan turns on the Hulkamaniacs and joins the NWO
This was absolute insanity, The Hulkster, the all time good guy, the real American, turns his back on all the little kids eating their vitamins and tells us all to fuck right off. Bash at the Beach 1996, The Outsiders and a mystery partner squared off against Sting, Lex Luger and Randy Savage. The entire match everyone was on the edge of their seat wondering who was the Outsiders partner or even if they had a partner. The Outsiders were destroying their opponents then the crowd erupted. Here he was, The Hulkster was here to save the day, he was here to take back WCW and destroy these Outsiders. Then it happened, Hogan turned, he turned on us all....with a prone Macho Man, Hulk delivered a leg drop that was felt for years. Hogan made the turn and created the NWO, one of the most popular factions in the history of the professional wrestling industry. Hulk then got on the mic and delivered a promo shitting on all of the fans and every other person he could. Hogan's heel turn was the best of all-time, mainly because no one saw it coming in a million years
