10 Dumbest Wrestling Heel Turns Ever
7. Ken Anderson
Almost always a failure, the story of a wrestler becoming a face simply because other heels turn on him is one of the stupidest ways to try and garner fan support.
It's especially daft when the heel has only just turned to the dark side.
Such was the case in 2011, when TNA World Champion Ken Anderson just couldn't make his mind up. At January's Genesis pay-per-view, he'd scraped through relentless interference from Hulk Hogan's evil 'Immortal' crew to defeat hand-picked champion Jeff Hardy, but lost the title back to the 'Charismatic Enigma' just a month later.
After regaining the title in June thanks to assistance from Hogan crony Eric Bischoff, he'd feign joining his rivals in the aftermath, before finally doing so on a July edition of Impact when forced to make a choice by the heel group. Just a week later though, he'd lose the World Title to Sting, and fall again to Kurt Angle a fortnight later thanks to botched interference from stablemate Bully Ray. Astonishingly, this led to a feud between the two, won by Ray ahead of Anderson getting kicked out of the group in August. The rivalry plodded on until November, but by then, the loudmouth was completely silenced as both a heel and a face.
