Brock Lesnar. He was a Heel when he won it, he was a Face when he defended the WWE Title against The Big Show at Survivor Series 2002.

Didn't Austin turn when he joined the Alliance as WWF Champion?

Flair on Sting in 1991 (when he kicked Sting out of the Horsemen following the 45-minute draw at Clash 1), and again in 1994 (during their World title unification match).

Austin was all over the place in 01. He kinda turned heel as he won the title at Wrestlemania 17, became a full heel later, had a very brief face run at the start of the invasion, turned heel again at the Invasion ppv, then turned face right after the Survivor Series winner take all match.

Sid Vicious turned heel during his second 2000 WCW World Title reign.

 

David Arquette turned heel during his 2000 WCW World Title reign.

 

Booker T turned heel during his first of two WCW World Title reigns in 2001 upon entering the WWF.

Please don't ever mention this again.

[Guest Fook]

Just last year, Orton won the title as a heel, but turned face pretty much immediately afterwards.

I wouldn't class Orton as turning in that way. I'd say he turned from a polished turd into a piece of shit.

David Arquette turned heel during his 2000 WCW World Title reign.

I was gonna say, that doesnt really count.

 

I'll second the Orton turn, though I really don't hate him.

Didnt Flair turn from heel to face after he won the title from Steamboat i WCW in '89'. Was it Music City showdown or WrestleWar?

Yes, and it was WrestleWar. Flair was getting cheered by the end of the match because of how awesome he and Steamboat had wrestled each other in that feud. Funk was a judge awarding points at ringside and asked Ric for a title shot. Flair told him he'd have to get in line and Funk turned on him and gave him a piledriver on the judge's table. Flair was de facto face because of that.

The night after uncensored 2000 sid teamed with hogan and turned on him by chokeslamming him. this was all forgotten as WCW had a week off before russo and bischoff returned and stripped all the titles setting up the New vs Old feud.

David Arquette turned heel during his 2000 WCW World Title reign.

WTF, why and how

[Papacita 0]

IIRC he defended the belt in against DDP and Jarrett in the triple cage match. DDP was on his side and tried to get him to stay out of the way, but in the end Arquette ended up turning on him and helping Jarrett win the belt.

[eiker_ir 0]

Taker when he was champ in 2002 was a heel, but was becoming kinda face-ish by the time he had the ladder match with Jeff.

 

he didn't do anything really, the crowd just started cheering him again.

[Fartsauce 0]

They planted the face turn by having Taker raise Jeff's hand after the match.

It made sense too since

DDP was the top heel in R2R

That's probably the most accurate thing I've heard on TSM in a while.

DDp during his first title reign in 1999.

Flair on Sting in 1991 (when he kicked Sting out of the Horsemen following the 45-minute draw at Clash 1), and again in 1994 (during their World title unification match).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Actually...that was in 1990 at the Clash of Champions X when Sting was kicked out of the Horsemen when he refused to give up his title shot against Flair at Wrestlewar '90.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

It's on the Flair DVD, if you haven't seen it.
