Two caveats. Nothing from TNA or the last two and a half years of WCW. Mine would be Stone Cold's heel turn of 2001. Nobody wanted to boo him and even he admitted it was a mistake. And a not-so-close second goes to Demolition's 1988 face turn. Nothing about them screamed babyface but they turned anyway.

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
Yeah, but at least the crowd got behind Demolition when they did turn. They got a huge reaction when they won the titles @ WM 6.
Sting and Goldberg's heel turns in WCW were terrible.
Randy Orton's first face turn (after he was kicked out of Evolution) was rushed and as a result, he never got over the way Batista did when he eventually turned on Evolution.Currently Playing:

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
The every other week face/heel turns WCW had Bret Hart do was completely pointless and made Bret look terrible in the process."Hate my game, hate my swagger, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran, a champion. Hate that, hate it with all your heart...
...and hate that I'm loved for the exact same reasons."Comment

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
While that was god aweful, it wasn't pointless. I think the reason it was rushed was so Orton could become the youngest World Champion in history and erase Brock Lesnar from the history books. While there was a point, I agree his 1st run was brutal. Dude has come a long way since then.Comment

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
Rey's heel run with the Filthy Animals was pretty pointless. Taking away his mask left him unmarketable. Nobody was going to buy those awful horns he was wearing.Comment

Kurt Angle reveals himself as Vince's mole and saves the WWF at Survivor Series. The next night, Kurt Angle is a heel.
Does not compute.Comment

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
The Stone Cold turn was terrible and remember when the Rock came back and tried to be a heel again.Gaming hard since 1988
I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.Comment

Re: Most pointless heel/face turn ever
The Paranoid Rattlesnake was a great change of pace as well. Austin's 2001 was one of the best years of his career. A ton of great matches and promos. Its too bad that "What?" phrase never caught on.Comment

The best was "Big Evil" Undertaker getting fed up with it and telling the crowd to "say What? if you like to sleep with your own sister".Comment
