10 Biggest WrestleMania Heel & Face Turns In WWE History

[@DJDoubleCee]

To me, nothing tops Bret Hart and Stone Cold from WrestleMania 13. We saw both of them turn in the same match.

[@michaelrivera8360]

The only good natch on that show

[@brianhardin9215]

Facts

[@killemsoftly15]

Yeah that is the greatest double turn in history when you consider what stone cold went on to be. Also take into account and happened on the biggest show of the year and just like many said it may have been the only good match on that show. When it's debated that your match is possibly the greatest in wrestlemania history and there was nothing else that was worthwhile on that show

[@bobmarshall8527]

Agreed

[@San-li9ml]

Just watched it for the first time today, pretty good

[@jeremyhegg9367]

Its disappointing they never went back to Shinsuke in the title picture after 2018. You would think he would at least be one of the people Roman slayed in his eternal reign at the top the past 3 years.

[@KevinG7098]

It did seem after boogs they were going that direction, then they just stopped for no apparent reason. Could of been a cool feud and made Nakamura seem a little more important

[@Prossdog]

Yeah the whole Styles/Nakamura feud was sadly underwhelming.

[@johnalbent]

Nakamura and Styles fued was when I gave up on WWE.

[@jeremywilliams5141]

An honorable mention goes out to Brutus Beefcake turning face at Wrestlemania III. He cut the hair of Adrian Adonis after the latter lost a hair match against Roddy Piper thus The Barber was born.

[@alphaguru]

Certainly wasn't as iconic but when you mentioned HHH turning heel at Mania 15 I'm surprised you didn't mention Kane turning babyface as a result

[@quietone3816]

kane overlooked again

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Austin's heel turn at WM17 probably made the biggest change in business for WWE, too bad it wasn't for the positive and the company/industry never reached the popularity heights from before it ever since.

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Stone Cold turning heel at WM 17 was weird decision considering he was still over with fans at that time

[@Braylon1997]

That heel run didn’t do him any favors

[@remingtonbouyer]

He hated that decision

[@bartoszlipinski9807]

@@remingtonbouyer Actually it was his decision. JR mentioned multiple times, that him and Vince McMahon (!) didn't want to do it, but in the end McMahon said that they owe it to him after all he has done for the company and they agreed

[@ReinEngel]

The "So sorry, no speak Engrish!" run for Nakamura was gold. GOLD.

[@jasons4209]

The Hogan and Rock match sends chills when they first lock up an hogan tosses rock then does his pose. The crowd and the visual, it was amazing.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

WrestleMania 2000 will always be my Favorite. They had a McMahon in every corner...EVERY CORNER!

[@patrickdepew4976]

Demolition wasn't challenging for the tag titles at WM V, they were defending them. So they weren't really trying to win the titles for the 3rd straight year at WM VI.

[@DynastyIcon]

man i wish Triple H was in charge during the AJ and Shinsuke rivalry... it was a dream rivalry that was ruined by the reality of Vince's horrible creative

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Jey Uso turning face by costing Roman the title at WM 39 will be in this for sure . Mark my words

[@benharrison9098]

That will be make Cody seem weak.

[@nicholasfrancis2192]

Watch it be paul heyman and cody becomes a heyman guy

[@BigA316]

This aged well

[@stjimmy831]

Austin turning heel was the end of me watching wwf

[@andrewstahl2274]

Bret and Austin should have been number one.

[@Prossdog]

That Warrior-Macho match at WM 7 was indeed an incredible spot in an otherwise horrible event.

[@stevegallo8483]

That Wrestlemania 6 match is bittersweet now, as Andre was unable to wrestle in the match because of his then ongoing health issues.

[@pinkk92]

Trish had been one of the most over babyface's on the roster since 2001. Her turning heel at WMXX was pretty shocking.

[@JaximusPryme]

I’m new and am becoming a fan of this channel. Thanks for not ending your videos by plugging one of your old ones

[@MrEandc4life]

What’s so wrong with that tho?

[@stevenpagnani7005]

I was shocked that Brock was able to walk after that. What about Paul orndorf at wrestlemania 1

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

WM7 is all the more bittersweet knowing that the year after Miss Elizabeth and Randy would split for real, and Elizabeth would start on a cycle of drug-induced self-destruction that would lead to her death in 2003.

[@Molson-xg9hs]

Should be Trish turning on Jericho here and unlocking Evil Trish

[@zeluxen]

Also trish face turn at wm 17

[@Extreme4LYF]

Austin's heel turn at WM17 was monumental. It put the exclamation point on the Attitude Era and, in addition to Vince buying WCW and the end of ECW, pretty much killed the popularity of wrestling as a global phenomenon. How many of us had friends who stopped watching once Austin turned heel? I personally knew of 5 people who stopped purely for that reason, and they never went back.

[@lk5388]

If your friends stopped watching, it just means you are casuals lol.... Everyone knows heel and face turns are part of the business. In fact, Stone Cold admitted its always more fun to play the heel. He just liked getting paid more in merchandise sales as a baby face.

[@mattmorris2141]

Trish to heel was great at 20...Savage should have been closer to #1. For me, that and WM 13 are the top two, and the only debate is which is which.

[@benespinosa6725]

Trish Stratus Turning Heel at wrestlemania 20 in 2004 is iconic she was a better heel than Babyface in my Honest opinion she did a phenomenal job in that role.

[@JayWIll2000s]

Adam patchete called John Cena a dick in one of his videos on 10 wrestlers who held the title once his last word was Cena a dick just cause he beat Rey mysterious that’s Messed up

[@chrisp679]

Is he not right?

[@benespinosa6725]

​@@LYE333 LMFAO

[@benespinosa6725]

​@@chrisp679 good question

[@benespinosa6725]

​@@LYE333 I don't know

[@scottm9633]

I was at WMX8 and the reaction in the crowd was crazy in support of Hogan

[@jeffreymarksworld534]

Nakamura ahead of Angle. Stuff like this is exactly why I can never take channels like this seriously

[@frenchfrey65]

Dammit, now I want to watch Hogan vs Rock again

[@n.a.s.k5972]

I'm not sure if Io will turn face or not, but I have a good feeling Drew will turn heel on Sheamus if he(Sheamus) wins the title.

[@josephhinz6256]

I think Drew’s turn COSTS him the title and leads to a WALTER retention tbh but also probable.

[@agentorange1156]

Bret vs Steve is the greatest match ever. They did something nearly impossible in the double turn all while having an instant classic. And it was important for the history of wrestling because it was the start of the Austin era. It checks all the boxes.

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@Mariobacuno528estupido]

Honorable mention would be Trish turning heel at wrestlemania xx

[@zeluxen]

And face turn at 17

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

Side note: Savage reunited with Miss Elizabeth, but his face turn didn't happen at the same time... Until SummerSlam he stayed a heel color commentator... Then he and Liz opened up Jake's wedding present and his turn was elementary...

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🙏

[@ChrisManley1994]

Shinsuke never really recovered from that heel turn

[@TheKDTKirby8]

You've ranked every Wrestlemania match, how about every Wrestlemania moment

[@Thechezbailey]

Everyone says the lesnar vs angle match is overshadowed by brock's botch. For me, so is Undertaker vs. Michaels, though.

[@kylefreeman3137]

honestly, who mike tyson is NOW, back then, would have been so much better.

[@eLite-Tiss91]

Im reeling for those terrible nuts shots from AJ Styles Vs Nakamura....that describe wwe booking with Nakamura in a nutshell

[@poh92]

The model rick Martel should be in the hall of fame

[@c0mpr3nd3]

Where's Brutus Beefcake from Mania 3?😢

[@eLite-Tiss91]

Nakamura should been wwe champion years ago.....😡 damn Vince.

[@zanethind]

Roman Reigns turning heel was great!

[@dojihajime]

Torontonian are only technically Canadians.

[@khayriward3961]

Shawn Michaels and Marty Ginetty?

[@ivansoto2908]

Hogan was the heel at WMV.

[@lifetimefitnesssolutionsll5743]

I watched wrestling since I was 4-5. I started towards the end of the golden era and my teen years were right straight dab in the middle of the best era of pro wrestling ever. I can say with all honesty, Stone Cold turning was the single reason I stopped watching. I came back about 3-4 years later but it didn’t last.

[@stanettiels7367]

3:29 You mean Cold Thstone.

[@BetoMSea]

You guys really like saying "showcase of the immortals" don't you?

[@nickmontoya3001]

Very rare and short face turn during the Rick martel turn at mania v, ventura actually bashed martel for turning his back on his tag team partner.....dont worry he was heel again the next match

[@talonthehand]

I completely forgot about wank pheasants. Oh man, I clearly needed that.

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

Vince can’t spell “subtle”. Or “continuity”.

[@waltercallihan]

7:50 jiminy Christmas!!!! Andre the giant had a head on him like a bass turd house cat

[@shawnawesome7770]

[@aaronjjacques]

The greatest missed opportunity was not renaming nakamura the king of dong style.

[@geeshep4836]

HEY ADAM CAN YOU COVER WHERE ARE THEY NOW: THE WOMEN OF WCW.

[@multiyapples]

Interesting list.

[@jeffreypridemore100]

Down your drink, and then down nine more for the heel/face turn

[@_Pauper_]

Always will wonder why Shin & Aj couldn’t put together anything in WWE

[@boots8562]

3:37 one can say that Shawn lost his smile again...

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Austin was the most shocking turn of all time. It was Amazing and a Powerful Moment. Austin's Injury is what made the follow up lackluster. If he never gets hurt, we don't have the PG Era.

[@ceulgai2817]

Considering the Ruthless Agression era was largely TV-14, I don't think the PG era is a result of Austin's injury. It's very likely Austin would have been out of the game by that time.

[@MrBeardsley]

Shinsuke “Snickers” Nakamura

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Thank For The Video 💞💗

[@Bman32x]

AJ should have lost and been the one to turn heel. He’s proven multiple times he’s a more effective heel. Had they paired Nakamura with Sami Zayn as his mouthpiece, not because his “English ain’t no good” but of course Sami could put over their NXT rivalry, respect, history and sell it as Shinsuke’s too good to speak to any of you people, THEN the heel turn might have worked.

[@CadChamberlain]

personally i think i had the best heel turn

[@ananyaraizada7657]

Nothing tops Hogan face turn at wm 18. My favorite mania match of all time even though neither Hogan or Rock are my favorite.

[@herecomesdatrain]

Double turn I like it when it makes logical sense and they read the crowd

Nope Bret & Stone Cold double turns at WM 18 is still legendary

[@Veggieman87]

I didn't start watching wrestling until long after it happened, and even I well up after watching Savage and Liz reunite. My efed was planning on doing a similar angle with my character and our NPC backstage interviewer/announcer, but we sadly couldn't finish the story before we had to hang it up.

[@कृतार्थयादव]

I don't fuckin' agree that more success & eyes came to the WWE after that 1997's WrestleMania mostly coz of Mike Tyson!Undoubtedly,he'd a part but that huge that you say it's all coz of him!It's more & hugely because someone like STONE COLD was there,great & quality wrestling was there & great story-telling was there!

[@koxame]

Actually the first lesnar vs angle happened before Wrestlemania, in a short match on smackdown before mania, testing waters to see if angle was capable of making it to event with that neck injury

[@andrea8679]

Early!!!

[@comicpornographer4367]

Sorry, gotta make this correction; but Wrestlemania 5 (and 4) were held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall (now Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall) not Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. These were two entirely different locations (Convention Hall being owned by the state of New Jersey) and any alleged connection between the two was part of WWF’s and Donald Trump’s marketing for the events.
