Youth N Asia Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I think just about all of us saw the Brock turn coming a couple weeks in advance. Seems to be the case for every turn now. Which was the last time the WWE really got you on a turn?
fazzle Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Why do I have a feeling that everyone's response is going to have the phrase "because I was away from the internet for a few weeks" in it?
Aero Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Well, the ECW / WCW alliance was pretty surprising to me. Kurt Angle turning on WWF and joining WCW in November 2001, I believe, was somewhat surprising. On this subject, I was surprised that the fans took Steve Austin back as a face so quick after Survivor Series 2001. Just recently, I was surprised that Eddie Guerrero turned on Tajiri. He approached his car all sympathetic, and then suddenly, he slides Tajiri off the car like nothing and moans about the car. You know the rest.
Youth N Asia Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah, the Eddie turn got me a little. He was getting over big as a face.
ChrisMWaters Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I think for me it was...when HHH turned heel and aligned with Rikishi. That came out of left field to me. And yes, I was getting internet at the time.
Dangerous A Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I would agree with Chris. HHH turning on Stone Cold and revealing himself as the person behind the hit and run surprised me because at the time I thought HHH was turning the corner into becoming a big time babyface.
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I would agree with Chris. HHH turning on Stone Cold and revealing himself as the person behind the hit and run surprised me because at the time I thought HHH was turning the corner into becoming a big time babyface. I agree. That was the perfect time for Trip's babyface run.
Guest Trivia247 Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 its hard not to see a face turn coming usually does with some promping
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Rock's "turn" at Sur.Series 98 threw me off guard. He was getting so much face heat and BAM, the first ever Montreal re-enactment.
caboose Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Rocky at Survivor Series 1998 shocked the hell out of me.
Lord of The Curry Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Benoit's turn on Austin in Edmonton in 2002, simply because I thought the WWE would never do something that ass-backwards. How wrong I was.
caboose Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Come on, they tried to turn Austin in Texas. What do you expect?
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 WWE logic: job your stars and turn their allegiance's, IN THEIR HOMETOWN~!
Lord of The Curry Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 NOT turning Benoit in Canada. It was his fucking return to the company from an 8 month injury for shits sake.
Youth N Asia Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 Rocky at Survivor Series 1998 shocked the hell out of me. Nah...they were pushing sooo much at Foley turning against Rock I knew it was going the other way
Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Shane McMahon turning on the Rock at No Way Out 2000- didn't see that coming at ALL. Most instantaneous giant face heat to heel heat reaction I've seen in the WWF.
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Shane McMahon turning on the Rock at No Way Out 2000- didn't see that coming at ALL. Most instantaneous giant face heat to heel heat reaction I've seen in the WWF. I was more shocked Big Show won the match.
iliketurtles Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Benoit turning on Austin shocked me. Can't say I wasn't pissed off, either...cause I was. Too bad we never got to see those matches.
Ripper Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 The ECW faction turing on Jerhico and Kane. Then they flushed it down the toilet some 30 minutes later.
Just call me Dan Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I would have been genuinely caught off guard with the Brock turn had I not read the spoilers. I knew something was going to happen, but I seemed to be one of the only guys on this board who thought he found his niche as an innovative babyface. I really didn't expect a Kurt or Brock turn, but more of something like an Undertaker heel turn/push again. The last time I was truly shocked though was HHH turning on Shawn on RAW after reforming DX.
Papacita Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah, Hunter's turn on HBK got me last year. I knew SOMEONE was turning, but I thought (and hoped) it would be Shawn. To be honest, Gail Kim's turn on Raw caught me off guard...I didn't really care, but still...
Guest CaseyJones Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Shane turning on Austin at Survivor Series 98.
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Shane turning on Austin at Survivor Series 98. I saw that one coming.
Tully316 Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Barry Windham turning on Lex Luger to join the horsemen Luger turning on Ricky Steamboat for the #1 contendership Yeah..they're both NWA, but there has rarely been a good turn because the WWF/E likes to forecast it like a mofo nowadays.
Steviekick Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Austin turning at WM XVII. I as slowly getting surprised by the thought of a heel Austin, but they ruined it as son as Vince came down to help him. That ruined it for me.
Austin3164life Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Just recently, I was surprised that Eddie Guerrero turned on Tajiri. He approached his car all sympathetic, and then suddenly, he slides Tajiri off the car like nothing and moans about the car. You know the rest. I was there live, and it was shocking when Eddie moaned about the truck rather than his fallen "friend". Of course, the fans still cheered after he slammed Tajiri into the windshield anyway.
LaParkaYourCar Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Even though she sucks, I never saw Gail Kim's heel turn coming.
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 ECW reforming on "RAW is ECW" back in '01, and then promptly ending what could have been a purely awesome three-way feud by joining WCW. Seriously, one of the BIG peeves I had with The Alliance was that it made no sense for ECW and WCW to team up. NONE. ECW always had a decent working relationship with the WWF, and hated WCW. Paul and Vince both hated Bischoff. So it made NO FUCKING SENSE to team two companies that ABSOLUTELY DESPISED EACH OTHER together against the WWF. But, alas, a dead topic...
Guest The Old Me Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Even though she sucks, I never saw Gail Kim's heel turn coming. I think no one saw it, because no one cared. I thought Austin's turn at Mania 17 was telegraphed. I knew someone would turn and Rocky was going to shoot a movie. I liked heel Austin.
