10 Dumbest Wrestling Heel Turns Ever

10. The Undertaker

The Undertaker was a legitimately detestable d*ckhead for the majority of his early spell as a biker, but WWE's decision to actually deploy him as one in late-2001 completely misread the situation.

After mesmerising reactions for his initial return and repackage, the novelty of BikerTaker wore off the second the bell rang. In the baggiest double denim this side of your Dad, Undertaker was in the worst shape of his career and carrying insecurity as big as the kite in front of him.

He took his internal sadness out on anybody he could get away with. New WWE Champion Kurt Angle was obliterated before literally sending in his own brother to take the beating so he could escape. WCW arrivals were shot on sight in 2001, presumably to show 'respect' or some such sh*te.

Ah, respect. 'The Deadman' had never been so underserving of it, but his heel turn revolved around it. Though he'd already been doing it as a flag-waving babyface for 18 months, he was now going to beat respect into all your favourite midcarders. The matches were still p*ss-poor though. Entrance pops (the only thing he had left) eventually evaporated until he was hastily retooled in July 2002.
