10 Wrestling Heel Turns That Made No Sense Whatsoever

10. The Iraqi Turncoat

Wrestling has had many 'American Heroes' over the many decades, and none were more patriotic than Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge had initially turned to the good side in 1984 by defending the honour of the Stars and Bars against that dastardly Iron Sheik.

However, the emergence of Hulk Hogan as the biggest wrestling star on the planet saw Slaughter phased out, and he left for the AWA.

Slaughter returned to the WWF in 1990, but not as the American hero everyone knew him as. No, Slaughter decided to turn his back on his nation due to the fact that the US had welcomed Nikolai Volkoff with open arms. The freedom that he once fought for was the reason he turned his back on his country.

Not only that, but Slaughter went so far as to align himself with the enemy, Iraq. The whole point was to capitalise on the Gulf War to get a big gate in for WrestleMania VII, but by the time 'Mania came around the war was over and the whole thing was even more illogical.
