I just read an article talking about the best heel turns in the last 25 years and the top 2 came down to Shawn Michaels and Seth Rollins. Besides the fact that Rollins doesn't deserve to be ranked that close to HBK what do you think the best heel turn in the last 25 years is?

Hogan with the NWO has to be up there I'd say...

AJ Styles always has decent heel turns in my opinion. HHH turning on Shawn Michaels in 04 is my favorite semi heel turn

Hogan with the nwo was the biggest by far. The negative pop when he legdropped macho man was legendary.

Shawn Michaels kicking Jeannette through the barber shop window was pretty awesome too.

It's Hogan. End of story. The man was literally the face of professional wrestling.

My one thing with everyone saying Hogan - I wasn't a fan at the time but from what I umderstand people were either tired of his schtick or didn't like him because of the whole steroid issue. WCW had already used him to the best of their ability as a babyface and not drawn. Was it really shocking? In retrospect it's a surprisingly obvious thing to do.

Chris Benoit had the best heel turn ever.

Wow, no one mentioned Andre turning on Hogan in '87, and sets up their main event at WM III.
That was the biggest & shocking heel turn for me growing up being a teenager at that time.

Yea, speaking old man... I was going to say Andre too. I'm 45. Growing up the biggest faces were Andre the Giant and eventually Dusty Rhodes. But, when Bobby Hennan got in the ear of Andre, I was 16, it broke my heart. Literally broke my heart.

I wasn't sure which match I was more psyched up for: Andre/Hogan or Savage/Steamboat.. But, I will say the Savage/Steamboat match is my #1 favorite of all time. And, any match with Steamboat/Flair or the older Sting/Flair matches. |

Personally Hogan at number one, but close on it's heels would be John Cena's, because it's still so shocking they refuse to do it....

I am being sincere, because I am not up to date on reading the 'rag sheets' (you can tell I'm old when I still use that term..lol) So, there was a plan for a Cena heel change recently, but it was blocked? I missed this, and curious to know what info. you have on it. I mean, what if Cena became part of the Club? Thoughts, etc.? |
