The thing that I love most about the Rollins turn is that one person in the crowd saw it just a LITTLE faster than everyone else and cries out, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" like a time traveler who JUST missed.

[@retrokoh]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who LOVED that. Whoever that fan was, made the moment tons better.

[@FigWidIt]

Mark Henry's fake retirement wearing that Salmon colored Suit Jacket was pretty damn good, beating up John Cena 😂

[@bullet2852]

Seth Rollins destroying The Shield has to be at the top, nobody saw that coming.

[@WrestleTalk]

ADAM: I mean... it's on the list, but its a way from number 1

[@GxGNoir]

I agree. Everyone thought either Roman or Ambrose would be the one to turn heel. No one thought Rollins

[@Slick5150]

Except that guy that's said Noooooooo

[@SL-fb1ze]

If you want an heel turn that no one saw coming : the one from Bryan in 2018.

[@GxGNoir]

S L oh yes that was excellent. Wish he had stayed heel he was an amazing heel. They should’ve kept him and Rowan together.

[@sheepdog8140]

Owens turning heel-squared was a great turn, but Bryan might be my favorite of the 2010s. Daniel Bryan turning after *no one* thought he ever would again and becoming the ultra-righteous Captain Planet asshole to match Kofi's rise to WWE Champion was the best main roster heel turn of the second brand split. The dude was the best babyface *and* the best heel in the company in the span of just over five years. Very few people can accomplish that.

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

Best face, best heel, best comeback, one of the best technicians, great storyteller, some of the best promos. How did they fit so much wrestler into such a tiny tiny man.

[@spacebound12]

I was so heated when he beat Styles’ reign by cheating before AJ could break the 434

[@TheVarietyVendor]

The Rock going Hollywood. One of the best incarnations of a mega star ever.

[@stephenmuir6812]

His first heel turn in 1997 could've been an honourable mention, considering it was the beginning of the Rock.

[@venomousnate7263]

Man I remember when Ciampa returned in his match against Gargano at TakeOver New Orleans. Just pure hatred from the crowd. That is a lost art.

[@Alex-2-5-1]

That’s was Shawn Michael in Montreal levels of hate

[@dispater101]

It definitely hurt me. When I was younger, I was OBSESSED over Batista like he was even my favorite wrestler over other main kid appeal characters such as John Cena and Jeff Hardy lol

[@jasyon4149]

Only kevin owens could be a heel and still find away to turn heel

[@BEMSmarky]

Did you forgot Mark Henry or The Rock?

[@crylittlesister6377]

Triple H anyone?

[@christophertkeeler]

Bayley

[@ThePaineTrain]

What made the Ambrose turn have even more emotional impact was Seth saying 'It’s OK' after the first DDT before being destroyed.

[@piglatin9]

My favorite part of HBK superkicking Janetty was when he threw him through the window, Bobby Heenan goes, Janetty tried to dive through the window to escape. Did you see that? What an act of cowardest 😂

[@broken75.20]

What i love about this is that the commentor when HBK and Janetty rise their hand, they were like :" ladies and gentlemen the rockers!" when HBK Sweet Chin Music Janetty, Bobby Heenan said "OH I KNEW HE WAS GONNA DO THAT, I JUST KNEW HE WAS GONNA DO THAT"

I remember getting a text from my brother the night Roman announced his leukemia diagnosis. I watched the rest of Raw, and when they announced the Ziggler/McIntyre vs Shield match, I was excited af for the main event. I knew the Shield had to win. I was freaking out when the Shield eventually won. And I was legitimately shocked when Ambrose planted Rollins with Dirty Deeds. In terms of story (before it got bastardized), it was perfect. And I agree with Adam; that was one of Michael Cole’s best calls ever.

[@johnb5082]

"And speaking of the rattlesnake..." (*bud light commercial starts playing.*) Damn Adam that was so perfect lol

I would swap those KO turns with Mark Henry's "retirement speech", perhaps the best moment of his whole career.

[@jimbobjones9330]

And 100% completely stolen from... you guessed it... Kevin Owens. (when he was Kevin Steen in ROH and turned on... you guessed it... El Generico, or Sami Zayn, as you know him)

[@destendgem]

Get your facts right. El Generico retired from wrestling to run an orphanage! Sami Zayn is one of those orphans.

[@jimbobjones9330]

@@destendgem Fair. I should have said that he was one of Generico's proteges. And Generico will be missed. RIP.

[@irrsinnrainer]

Say about Vince what you want. But the "Mr. McMahon" character was something else... But my favouritehas to be Seth Rollins. I would have never expected it and I screamed in agony at my TV when it happened. And the heel run Seth went on was amazing! Crowned by the best cash-in of all time at Mania 31.

[@thinkingboutsoccer]

Yes especially when he wanted to stomp on Edge. Ooh what a heel moment too.

[@anthonyfappiano5645]

Zybysko turning on Bruno

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Pro-wrestling is what it is today because of Vince McMahon. Not only is the guy an absolute shoe-in for the WWE Hall of Fame, he deserves his own wing. But the guy is a narcissist, and he was off his rocker for at least the last 15 years of his time as the boss.

[@KDOGLP]

One of my favourite heel turns was Eddie turning on Rey because he couldn’t beat his tag team partner.

[@SiriusBlack-xx9fg]

I know this is a WWF/WWE list, but i think the best Heel turn of wrestling is Hulk Hogan becoming Hollywood Hulk Hogan and forming the N.W.O in WCW. As good as Vince screwing Bret Hart

But right now there is something about your voice and the sarcasm that reminds me on my brother Nathaniel that makes me feel whole for a moment and not like half me is never coming back. Me and him watched every RAW from like 90 til we moved out in the 00. He stopped watching wrestling for a long time. Until I showed him Orange Cassidy and the laughter me and him had watching those ....

My favorite heel turn is Adam not giving us How WWE should have booked Asuka’s streak

[@crylittlesister6377]

HHH turning on DX and joining the Corporation at WM 15 is one of my top favourite heel turns of all time

[@undertakerpitt]

"Despite already being heel, he somehow managed to heel turn again" is, objectively, the funniest thing Adam has ever said.

[@MangaGirl232]

For me it had to be Seth Rollins. I loved The Shield and when he hit Roman with that chair it was like a punch to the gut

[@juliooquendo220]

Seth Rollins joker laugh

[@gamechanger700]

For me it was Dean Ambrose's heel turn,everybody expected it but still nobody saw that coming on the night Roman announced his leukemia

[@bonusbaby801]

Seth Rollins by far...nobody saw that coming. My favorite, though, is Ted DiBiase turning heel on Junkyard Dog in the 80's Mid-South.

[@noahp1124]

Really? I remember thinking it was time for the shield to break up and I figured it probably wouldn't be roman or Dean bc that was obvious and that it made sense for it to be seth.

[@DreamWeave288]

Nah, there were plenty of other heel turns that were on par with Rollins' one, and in some cases even better. Definitely not "by far".

[@edenromanov]

When Vince retires completely I do hope whoever takes over the company makes sure to put the old bastard into the Hall of Fame because love him or hate him the man has been absolutely instrumental for the best times in the WWE and he should be lionized for it.

[@beney8157]

Finn Balor's heel turn was also incredible

[@davidmb3376]

Not WWE but Jeff Hardy’s TNA heel turn was a shocker. I was surprised he was able to actually get some heat given how popular he’s always been Also, Taz revealing he was in the Aces & 8’s at Bubba Ray’s wedding was awesome

[@romanramirez7847]

I remember everyone thought it would be Kurt Angle. Not Jeff.

[@CoryTheRaven]

The festival of friendship was hard to watch, because you could see that Jericho MEANT it when he said that working with KO was the most fun he's had in years. BWAAAAAAAAAAA...

[@hey4506]

Stephanie turning her back on her father is *chefs kiss* a masterpiece no one expected it

[@RONGEE2099]

My favorite heel turn by far was Stone Cold Steve Austiin turn at Wrestlmania. Steve was vicious and funny as a heel character; very underrated performance

[@Emper0rH0rde]

From what I understand, it was a poorly booked heel run, and I think he turned face again before the end of the year.

[@leonelcardenas5847]

So many great heel turns Adam. I would say Andre's heel turn was awesome. He was always scary to me since I was around 3 years old, and finally he was supposed to be scary!!!

[@braedenmartin8596]

The idea of Vince standing at the foot of my bed saying and saying “never sleep.” Will be in my nightmares 😂 😂 😂

[@chaosof99]

My favorite heel turn is really Neville in his return, back when Cruiserweight wrestling in WWE actually mattered to an extend. Also, is Batista turning on Evolution the greatest face turn of all time?

[@mrpink1616]

Watching Shawn Michaels turn at the barbershop will always my favorite turn because I was actually there at Tuesday in Texass with my brother and Dad.

[@tinotica]

Batistas heel turn in 2009 will always be my favorite. So scary how he started off by calmly telling Mysterio he was gonna rip his head off then absolutely destroys him!!

You guys forgot The Rock turning heel at Survivor Series 1998 and joining The Corporation. It was one of the biggest angles of the Attitude Era

[@josephsua7246]

My earliest memory of a heel turn has to be when Randy was betrayed by Evolution (I grew up with tape recordings of the attitude era but never had any where someone turns, unless it’s Austin at WM). My favourite recent one has to be Ambrose on that night of Roman’s announcement. That was the first time in a while a was shocked.

[@thuganomicswag]

I think the best heel turn was Big Show's 6th Heel Turn. That one was truly the unexpected one
