Heel turns that the wrestler didn't blame the fans?

[Boxer 0]

From Bret Hart to Shawn Michaels to Stone Cold to The Rock, etc..............

 

Pretty much every guy that turned heel blamed the fans with the old line I tried to please them, they turned on me, etc...........

 

Has their been anyone that turn heel and it wasn't our fault?

Sting turned on Hogan in WCW and I am pretty sure the fans had nothing to do with his reasoning, but I could be wrong.

[Boxer 0]

Why did he turn heel again? I wasn't watching WCW in 1999 and I know many guys made stupid heel turns.

 

What was Sting's excuse?

Wasn't Steve Austin's 2001 heel run based on the fact he needed Vinces help to beat The Rock?

 

I don't think the fans were mentioned.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

I think Luger and Hogan were playing tug of war with Sting in terms of trying to lobby for him to side with either guy. Of course, why he would believe the very guy who's screwed him over repeatedly, is beyond me. The turn didn't take and Sting was a face again without actually turning a few weeks later.

I though he blamed it on all of us wanting Rocky and we thought Austin was no good anymore?

 

Remember the "what's wrong with Stone Cold?" line?

If we are going to be technical, Austin gave no reason for the turn. If I recall correctly, "I don't have to explain myself" was what he said.

"I don't have to explain myself". That's compelling shit. I wonder why nobody bought into that turn?

Owen Hart joining the Nation because he was tired of DX outnumbering him.

[... 0]

Jake Roberts. I think he turned because he felt evil. Sid Justice turned because he wanted a piece of Hogan.

 

Maybe the more appropriate scope should be the Attitude / Post-Attitude era.

HHH turning in 2002 because he didn't want to be managed by Shawn Michaels/Didn't want to share the spotlight.

Did any of Kane's turns ever involve the fans?

[TheFranchise 0]

The closest would be when he first lost the mask and didnt want the fans making fun of his face, I guess.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

Many people turned and joined the NWO (Bagwell, Savage, etc) because they were a hot commodity and because there was strength in numbers.

[Richard 0]

The New Age Outlaws, and anyone else to turned heel and continued to play to the fans.

Correct... well except for examples listed in this thread plus more unmentioned examples...

My favorite heel turn hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread. Albert turning on Scotty 2 Hotty because he made him dance.

Even though Rikishi did mention "the people", he turned heel for The Rock to succeed.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the fans were mentioned when Sid turned on Hulk Hogan in '92. I think he stated he was simply sick of Hogan stealing his spotlight, or something along those lines.

Trish Stratus turning on Jericho for Christian didn't seem to have anything to do with the fans.

[... 0]

Chris Jericho in '97/'98 because he was pissed about a losing streak.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Randy Savage turned heel in 1989 because Hogan tried to steal his woman.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Rick Martel by leaving Tito Santana high and dry during their Wrestlemania 5 tag match because Tito accidentally hit him.

 

Shawn Michaels because he felt Marty Jannetty had been holding him back in his wrestling career. Shawn Michaels years later because he wanted to fight Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam.

 

Ric Flair in 1999 because he went on a power trip.

 

DDP for cheating in matches shortly after winning the WCW Title.

 

The Undertaker in 2001 because he wanted J.R. to be more respectful to Vince McMahon or some shit like that.

 

Roddy Piper at WM 19 because he hated Hogan.

 

The Hurricane because Rosey sucked.

 

Randy Orton because he wanted to end Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak.

 

Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, and Kurt Angle all have turned heel just because they wanted to be WWE Champion again.

 

Why did he turn heel again? I wasn't watching WCW in 1999 and I know many guys made stupid heel turns.

 

What was Sting's excuse?

 

Enter Lex Luger to stir some shit. Hogan had a title defense against Sting at Fall Brawl so Luger tried to convince Sting that Hogan was in fact the Hummer Driver (there were of course lots of fake Stings being seen in Hummers to make people think Sting did it). Surely the pictures of Hogan standing next to a wrong colored Hummer was conclusive evidence.

 

Jake Roberts. I think he turned because he felt evil.

 

He turned heel by joining forces with The Ultimate Warrior's enemy, the Undertaker.

 

Sid Justice turned because he wanted a piece of Hogan.

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think the fans were mentioned when Sid turned on Hulk Hogan in '92. I think he stated he was simply sick of Hogan stealing his spotlight, or something along those lines.

 

He was mad at Hogan for costing him the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble. When Hogan was named the number one contender for Ric Flair, Sid went apeshit and started attacking jobbers left and right until Hogan accepted his challenge to a match at Wrestlemania!

Owen Hart in 1994 because he was tired of being in Bret's shadow.

 

Ric Flair and the Horsemen in 1990 because Sting wanted a title shot against Flair (well, and because he's Ric Flair).

 

The Radicalz in 2000 because they wanted to get jobs in the WWF.

AJ Styles' first heel turn in TNA revolved around how arrogant and cocky he was I believe.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Aye. Lynn was meant to be the heel, but the fans responded sympathetically to Lynn demanding Styles's respect compared to Styles not showing Lynn any.

Since someone mentioned Piper's turn on Hogan @ WM 19 thought i'd bring this up

 

Does Piper screw up? He gets in the ring & spits at Hogan, kicks McMahon, spits at Hogan again, spits on McMahon, then does the old "I'm gonna hit McMahon.....NO, HE HIT HOGAN!!!" I mean it wasn't a shocker considering we had no clue why he was there & he came in the ring & spit on both guys.

 

This should prolly go in the question thread but oh well

Big Show has turned countless times with no reason what so ever

All Tajiri needed in ECW was to grow a beard and he was evil
