Edge's heel turn in 2022 was also bad for 2 reasons: 1. It didn't have the same magic when he was a heel from 2005-2010 2. Nobody wanted to boo Edge after he came back 9 years after his neck injury
I respect the guy for wanting to do something different at that stage in his career, and his goal of turning Damien Priest and Rhea Ripley into stars did end up working in the weirdest way possible, but yeah the heel turn didn’t really work.
Hearing Michael Cole's commentary run as a heel in 2011 was painful. I am glad that he is now in one of his best form on commentary & getting the respect that he deserves.
The way Vince treated Cole was terrible as he basically hired a good commentator and then constantly ordered him to say exactly what he was ordered to. I'm glad we got him properly now.
That Daniel Bryan turn shouldn't even count because it wasn't a legitimate heel turn. It was a set up to make the Wyatt Family let their guard down. I thought that was made pretty clear.
NOPE! Because unlike how painfully obvious the Cena and Nexus one was (come on... he was still wearing Cena merch throughout the entirety of the "swerve") WWE legit wanted to cool off Bryan's momentum. The face turn proved their back stage antics failed.
@@Nintendofan4000 That's nonsense. Yes, they wanted to cool off his momentum, but the whole point of Daniel Bryan joining the Wyatt Family was to build on his feud with Bray Wyatt. Nobody believed Bryan was a legitimate heel and an actually a member of the Wyatt Family. It was obvious he was gonna turn on them from the start.
Sort of his segments with Nia Jax was after he told Vince that he's not gonna extended his contract and he's gonna leave WWE and Vince being Vince tried to buried him with Nia Jax but the match didn't happened
Heel turn was good...the storyline after were fckin stupid..could have done it really good instead of making him a germaphobe...that's my opinion tho..others might think different
Becky Lynch's heel turns in 2018 and 2021 get an honorable mention from me due to the fact that nobody wanted to boo The Man. In fact, when Becky attacked Charlotte at Summerslam 2018, fans cheered although it could be because fans were sick and tired of seeing Charlotte win all the time. Granted, we got The Man and later Big Time Becks but still. Also, you can add Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits.
A heel Jeff Hardy would have worked in WWe if Jeff Hardy only refused to do all his high-risk signature moves, taunt the crowd everytime with it just to lay low and do a generic move instead. And if he would have won a title I can imagine a Twist of Fate with the belt around the opponent's neck or something like that, there are many tiny things you can do to a guy to make him more entertaining as a heel, I feel like Dom Mysterio is the best example.
He still did some high flying moves as a heel in TNA. His heel promos against the fans were really good. Blaming them for his pain and saying he was done hurting for the fans. Time for them to hurt for him.
I think the Stone Cold heel turn could have worked I mean his attack on Jim Ross was done well. The main problem apart from people not wanting to boo him was they turned him from an ass kicker into a coward.
@UnderScoredd sometimes people don't appreciate gold when they got it. And the alliance storyline was entertaining, but there was plenty of stuff that was uninteresting. Like what was going on with the U.S. and I.C. titles.
I don't think Eugene was a bad character. I think that if they KEPT HIM AS A FACE, didn't have himself or the faces make fun of him (only the heels), and then make PSAs to support mental health awareness, it could've become a positive. Even better is if they could find an Autistic wrestler, develop him, and use him as Eugene.
Dean Ambrose 2018 heel turn was a complete flop. Even him and Seth Rollins didn't make up for it at their match at TLC 2018. No wonder he left in 2019.
Vince turning Austin heel was just an attempt to outdo Hogan turning heel in WCW which backfired because Austin wasn’t meant to be a heel again and they were turning him into a clown with the alliance
Austin wanted to do it as well and it was Jim Ross who said it was a bad idea but decided to do it anyways because they wanted to do it since they believe it was right since stone Cold did a lot for the company and they thought they owe it to him
I think blaming the 2001 heel turn for the company's numbers going down was wrong. There was no more competition, and Vince thinking WCW/ECW fans would just come watch WWF was a fallacy.
yeah, him double heel turning on WWE for the alliance was overboard. Though I liked the moment he did it but everything after was a bit silly, I think the reason Hogan's worked is because people were already sick of the Hulkamania stuff in 92, bring the goofy dungeon of doom stuff in and him turning heel probably save his career. Austin was still beloved by the fans so him turning heel made no sense.
Don't think Bryan's heel turn to join Wyatts is bad, it's just not given legs. If given legs, I bet it would've been great. The problem was the timing of it. Bryan was meant to be the top top guy from the fans point of view. So him going 'heel' is a bit of a backwards step. But I'd argue it's far from being top 10 'WORST' heel turns.
Although Austin babyface run is better than his heel run, Austin heel run had its memorable moments and great matches as a heel, in my opinion I wouldn’t put him on top 10 WORST heel turns, especially because his heel turn At Wrestlemania was epic.
Nikki A.S.H was a.... novel gimmick and obviously inspired by Hurricane, by Nikki was ALWAYS best as "the Twisted Sister". Her time with Alexa Bliss should have gone into and through Bliss' Wyatt stint, and as part of the Wyatt Sicks i seriously hope Bliss makes a return and joins up with them.
Dean Ambrose turning heel on Raw in 2018 during the Raw episode where Roman announced he had cancer was one of the most heelish things ever and a super heel move but what made it so bad was the booking that came after it. Idk again how Vince fumbled that so bad 😕🤦. No wonder Dean left in 2019 god so glad Vince left
Vince was the reason Ambrose/Moxley left. He wanted Ambrose/Moxley to cut a messed up promo about Reigns' leukemia during that turn, which would've made the cringe germaphobe gimmick an actual 🍆 move
Nikki A.S.H was a terrible gimmick! What are you talking about? They turned her heel as a last ditch effort since there was silence during her matches.
However, you can make a drinking game out of it and take a shot every time he says "However". However, that will result in alcohol poisoning, but it's however you wanna go about it
eugene's heel turn could have worked if he said he was a like the character in the Ringer movie and faked being special to get ahead. Yes I am sure it would have gotten a lot of people upset but that was the only way to make that heel turn work.
Austin’s heel run was a diamond in the rough, yea business wise it was a terrible decision but from an entertainment perspective it was pure gold. Plus it was the birth of the “What?” chant as well I might add.
For me the best moments were the petition against the Triple Threat between him, Benoit and Jericho, the kidnapping by Kurt Angle (the peak was the "crying" moment. XD), the ambulance segment with Triple H and Undertaker and, in general, the numerous fits of anger and paranoia he had in numerous segments. People can say what they want, but for me Austin's heel period was a breath of fresh air after so much time spent as a face, and as a rebel hero, perpetually opposed to the authority of the McMahons. To this day, I still watch those segments every now and then, and it still makes me laugh. XD
@@zadkal8873 people who hate Austin’s heel run are most likely people who take professional wrestling as seriously as real life. Wrestling is not Shakespeare, it’s unadulterated entertainment.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19people who loved Austin's heel turn are people who take wrestling so seriously to the extent they cry for it and get normalised with whatever they come up with. Cringest universe is the wwe universe ofcourse after Marvel and woke Hollywood, the king, no, queens of cringe.
Also to add on to the Stone Cold Spot, Austin would be a brief Face again when the Invasion angle started but then at the Invasion he turned on WWE and joined The Alliance aka WCW the same exact company that kicked him out and said he would never make it in the buissness
It actually could’ve been really good if Nikki ASH turned heel and all of a sudden started referring to herself as an actual hero instead of almost a super hero
To be fair... from a story telling standpoint, Dean rejoining the Shield to turn back face would make sense with what he said given the results afterwards: - Turns heel ; Says Shield made him weak - Loses credibility throughout a good chunk of the heel run - Welp... I must've been wrong, then ; Turns face and rejoins Shield Sure! The run SHOULD have been handled better but what we got as a result does KINDA make sense...
Funny thing is heel turns could also ruin the one committing that. Tucker turned heel and left WWE with only 1 achievement: 24/7 title Meanwhile, Otis won tag team championship.
I'll be on the minority here: I think Cole killed it as a heel. The problem was that he was THE commentator. Other heel commentators like Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler were secondary supports to their face counterparts (McMahon and Ross). But Cole, he was THE commentator and that's what turned a pretty good heel run into misery.
They could have done deans heel turn so good him still having a grudge against rollins and rollins trying to make up for his past mistakes would have been awesome
I disagree with Number 2. I actually think Michael Cole played a really good heel. He used to make my blood boil during that era. He knew his role quite well and played it to perfection and I think the fact that he was a commentator and couldn't often be beaten up for his jabs made his heel persona even more infuriating.
Austin’s heel turn at WM17 made sense the Rock was better than him at that point and Austin couldn’t accept that but his second heel turn at Invasion didn’t make any sense
If you want to see how the these bad heel turns could've worked, go watch the videos from both Partsfunknown and Whatculture under the list titled How WWE/Adam would've booked. There, you'll find very well explained rebooking of Michael Cole being both a bad guy and the Anonymous Raw GM, Steve Austin working with Eric Bischoff (basically a precurssor to the Invasion story), and Ambrose in a emotionally charged psychological thriller style story with Rollins. Even though I'm not a wrestling fan, just seeing how some of the most atrociously bad storytelling can be made into something that fit in perfectly with an academy winning film or tv series. You're welcome for reconmending it.
Honestly, Nikki A.S.H as a heel could have worked if they had fully committed to the "Delusional Superhero doesn't realize they've become the villain" trope. Let Nikki demonize all other stars, become a fully developed Superhero and maybe try to recruit people for her own Justice League of people, mostly heels, who she sees as misunderstood and actual heroes
To me there's no bad Heel turn Because no matter what I only like Heels I hate the good guys Babyfaces Ther boring never root for them So I'm glad when someone turns Heel
So many of these takes seem to completely misunderstand why the heel turns were done, and several weren't even really legit heel turns. This is just silly.
To me, the main problem with Cole's heel run is that he'll shit over *EVERY SINGLE FACE WRESTLER*. Like even if you're someone loved like Rey Mysterio, someone that even JBL compliments and respects despite being in a rivarly with him at the time, to Cole, if you're a good guy, you're nothing to him. Also, to quote a wrestling sinner, his creepy erection for The Miz.
I don't care what anybody says, turning Austin heel made no sense at WM 17. Especially seeing as they mentioned in the video, Rock was going to go to Hollywood for a while and HHH was already your biggest heel. Would've been better to have the seeds of his heel turn be planted, but for the Invasion angle. Since he and Vince hated each other for so long, they could've had him be conflicted as they did closing in on the Invasion PPV of wanting to help and lead WWE but because of his hatred for Vince he hesitated. Then at the Invasion PPV, Austin does indeed turn and it is revealed that Eric Bischoff was behind the whole thing. Would've been perfect and made a hell of a lot more sense then what they eventually did. The storylines would've been plentiful and could've led to the following year's Wrestlemania in a winner take all. Would've arguably been the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. By then you could've had some of the big time WCW stars contracts expire to make it even more compelling. They missed the boat big time with that one and it all started with making the industry's biggest star turn heel at the wrong time.
What is the worst heel turn in WWE history?
Seth Rollins
Anything big show related. Just because of how many there have been.
@@Lucas-rk5ngwhich?

2. Nobody wanted to boo Edge after he came back 9 years after his neck injury
Another is that during that time, there was WAY too many dominate heels in the WWE. So turning another major face like Edge heel made no sense as well
But they booed him and it kinda worked but yeah
I'm still sad AJ never beat Edge on one one one match.
Edge was wasted by returning
I respect the guy for wanting to do something different at that stage in his career, and his goal of turning Damien Priest and Rhea Ripley into stars did end up working in the weirdest way possible, but yeah the heel turn didn’t really work.

Like even if you're someone loved like Rey Mysterio, someone that even JBL compliments and respects despite being in a rivarly with him at the time, to Cole, if you're a good guy, you're nothing to him. Also, to quote a wrestling sinner, his creepy erection for The Miz.
I don't care what anybody says, turning Austin heel made no sense at WM 17. Especially seeing as they mentioned in the video, Rock was going to go to Hollywood for a while and HHH was already your biggest heel.
Would've been better to have the seeds of his heel turn be planted, but for the Invasion angle. Since he and Vince hated each other for so long, they could've had him be conflicted as they did closing in on the Invasion PPV of wanting to help and lead WWE but because of his hatred for Vince he hesitated.
Then at the Invasion PPV, Austin does indeed turn and it is revealed that Eric Bischoff was behind the whole thing. Would've been perfect and made a hell of a lot more sense then what they eventually did. The storylines would've been plentiful and could've led to the following year's Wrestlemania in a winner take all. Would've arguably been the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. By then you could've had some of the big time WCW stars contracts expire to make it even more compelling.
They missed the boat big time with that one and it all started with making the industry's biggest star turn heel at the wrong time.
For me, it’s Jimmy Usos one😵💫
Personally, I liked Eugene as a face than as a heel.
0:05 There was some vitriol behind this pedigree.
