8 Wrestling Heel Turns That Were Immediately Reversed

4. Goldberg

In truth it's been a total disaster almost any time that Golberg has been divorced from the tried and tested formula of having him walk through a cocky heel opponent in three minutes or less.

Given that, it's not really clear why WCW thought it was a good idea to move him over to the dark side in June 2000, other than the fact that it was WCW, a company that turned every single one of its wrestlers from face to heel and back again at least once.

Costing Kevin Nash victory at The Great American Bash, Goldberg formed a short-lived alliance with the cast of The New Blood (including, appropriately, the presumed architect of his character shift, Vince Russo), before reprising his good guy role two months later.

In an appearance on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, the former football star later admitted that he didn't enjoy turning his back on the fans one bit, especially the younger ones who saw him as a real-life superhero.
