    No crap. Almost 10 years later and we've still got fans that do it. It makes me cringe when I hear it now and I hate that the wrestlers cave in and play along. The best way to get those fans to shut up is to just keep talking and not pause after every 2-3 words.

      What?


      Seriously though, I enjoyed "The Bionic Redneck" and the Two man power trip as a whole. Then again, I'll enjoy any heel that beats the hell out of Michael Cole.

      I never understood Goldbergs heel turn,though. The fans weren't ready to boo the guy.

          At the time, yes, but now it's just plain annoying. I bet most who do it don't even know how it originated.

            I almost took a sign with the Wayne's World line "A sphincter says What?" to hold up if that started when I went to Raw last year, but I decided no one would get it so I went without a sign.

And a not-so-close second goes to Demolition's 1988 face turn. Nothing about them screamed babyface but they turned anyway.
              Yeah, the Demolition/Powers of Pain swap was pretty pointless.

                Ahmed Johnson joining The Nation of Domination after they beat on him for months, only for them to beat on him again a few weeks later causing him to turn back to a face.

                  Good one @Extreme Gamer! They were just throwing crap at the wall to see what would stick at that time.

                    Same feeling I had when Ken Shamrock joined Vinnie Mac's crew.

                      Heel Rock is probably my favorite wrestler of all-time. Especially pre-megastar Corporate Rock. Nobody could cut a a more entertaining and funnier promo with more heat than that guy.

                        Would have to be Sting for me. No WCW fan wanted to boo the guy and the guy didn't have the charisma of someone like Hogan to be able to make it work.

                          Same thing with Macho Man and the NWO, they used to give him some **** beatdowns and he joined up with them

                            Is it like a formality to do heel/face turns? What I mean is that can I expect to 100% see the Miz as a face one day or say Kofi Kingston go heel? or do people spend their whole careers as one or the other?

                              Steamboat spent his entire career as a face.

                                The same could be said about the entire NWO pretty much. Just about everybody in the company had joined by the time they finally killed the angle.
