    Michael Cole. During Lawler's heart attack, Cole's professionalism gained so much respect for one of the most hated guys in the business.
    Big Boss Man. "Bought" by Ted Dibiase, realized it, and refused to be bought, declaring himself no thief, and returning the Million Dollar Belt AND Damien to Jake Roberts.

    So glad Taker's shocking face turn in 1992 made the list. That moment gets so often overlooked. Jake was damn near the devil incarnate, and I was STUNNED when Taker saved Macho and Liz from the chair shot

    Virgil's face turn against Ted Dibiase at Wrestlemania 7 was pretty epic when it happened, even though WWE didn't do anything with it.

    The Miss Elizabeth, and Macho Man angle was just pure magic. The starts aligned perfectly for that moment. Never seen a wrestling angle involving love that gripping, and executed so well. Very much a tear jerker. The Austin vs Bret double face turn was so monumental for the business as a whole. That had impact felt for years.

  • @SolidSonicTH
    @SolidSonicTH 8 років тому +9

    Batista's final run in 2010 as a heel before leaving WWE was probably the best work of his career. He works better as a heel (or at least he did in that context).

    • @EssentialClassic
      @EssentialClassic 8 років тому +1

      I definitely agree. I was just thinking about that while watching this video.

    • @tsrig1027
      @tsrig1027 8 років тому +3

      +SolidSonicTH He actually asked creative to be a top heel when he returned. Unfortunately, they wanted him to be a face and look how that turned out. If they just debuted him as a heel, he may still be with the WWE to this day.

    Bret v Austin at WrestleMania 13 is still my favourite match of all time. I was 10 when I first saw it about a week after 'Mania (we didn't have sky so my Aunty taped it for us). I've got it on VHS (but no way to watch said VHS) and recently found it online on a Chinese version of UA-cam. Still a great match 19 years later

    If you haven't seen the Austin VS Bret match then do yourself a favor and go check it out. It's a great technical match. Stone Cold was one of the best technical wrestlers ever, not to mention he wrestles one of the best technicians to ever be in the ring, Bret Hart. It's such a shame that Austin got hurt. He might've still been wrestling today.

    • @tapan97
      @tapan97 5 років тому

      Yes, in fact it's an understatement to call it a great technical match. It was one of the absolute best.

    Totally agree with the Bryan vs Bray face turn. What made that awesome was the very slow build up of the Yes chant. It started slow and then gradually got quicker.
    What made that even more amazing (but sad in the end) was that Bryan said he couldn't remember most of that night due to a concession he took during that match. Very sad in the end, but it was an amazing end to a RAW episode in years.

    I think the best one is when undertaker turned into the American badass

    #3 was f'n amazing because it wasn't even planned to happen until after the match. But instead it just happened during the match, organically.

    When Macho Man turned face the first time with Hulk Hogan and formed the Mega Powers... that was pretty historic and the beginning of a great long running story line that ended with the second face turn

    Stone Cold Steve Austin was locked in one of the most vaunted submission moves in wrestling history, second only to perhaps Ric Flair's Figure 4 - the Sharpshooter - with a mask of crimson running down his face, and he REFUSED to submit. He was the heel in the match, but after that moment, everyone knew that, like Austin always said, he was the toughest son of a bitch in the WWF. The wrestling world has never seen a greater, or more important, face turn. Ever. One of my all-time favorite moments - and matches - ever.
