I don't recall the exact moment of Hollywood Rock's turn, did he just come back as a heel? It was a great run and my favourite version of his character but I don't remember the "turn"

 

[jimmy101]

It was some episode of raw or something. He payed out on the crowd for booing him when he faced Hogan at WM IIRC. Shortly thereafter he began chastising the crowd for joining in with him when he'd say his catchphrases.

Sorry Athlai, I forgot Rock had two turns in '98. I was actually referencing his turn at Survivor Series 1998, when he became the corporate champ.

And also, technically the "Bret screwed Bret" thing was a face turn. Bret's 1997 heel turn occurred at WM 13.

Bret Screwed Bret was a heel turn for Vince, the promo he cut in the interview after the screw job.

 

[jimmy101]

My bad, I see that was actually one of TBY's noms. Can't argue that Vince's heel turn was an ATG one.

 

[Agent TBY]

I assume Smitteh's talking about the formation of STERNNESS, and if so, second.

Also second Bret, Hogan, and Rollins.

 

[jimmy101]

Seconding Hollywood Rock, Micheals (barbershop) & Vince.

The turn probably happened in his match with Brock at Summerslam. Crowd was on Lesnar's side and booed Rock a lot. Cut a heel promo after the match before walking out (dunno if it actually aired in the ppv but I've seen the video).

 

[OverratedSanity]

The megapowers explode. Damn hogan and his lustful eyes
Marn Henry turn at the end of his retirement speech
Eddie turning on Rey

 

[Mike5181]

Salmon suit Mark Henry promo was glorious.

 

[GIMH]

Second Savage in 89 and Hogan 96, the latter should probably win tbh

Nominate Austin at Mania 17, wasn’t great long term but truly shocking at the time

NB I still maintain that morally Savage should have been the face in that feud, but then that’s true of most Hogan feuds

I’ll nominate Andre for WM3 too

Owens turning on Jericho wasn't really a heel turn

Anyway nominate Jericho 200 8 on hbk

They had unofficially become faces, lovable baddies. Owens turning on Jericho turned Jericho face, and made Owens despicable, absolutely a heel turn
