10 Wrestling Heel Turns That Made No Sense Whatsoever
8. Bitterness And Baseball Bats
By 1999, World Championship Wrestling was completely out of ideas. They were getting clobbered in the ratings on a weekly basis, and the ship was taking on more and more water with each passing moment.
The New World Order had eaten itself alive, and Hulk Hogan was back in pole position as the number one babyface.
Except he wasn't really, as crowds still saw him as nWo 'Hollywood' Hogan. What did WCW do to try and remedy this? Well, how about taking the one guy that had stood against the nWo, the man who was the most beloved superstar in WCW history, and turn him heel? Great idea!
Sting as a heel never really worked, especially not in WCW. He turned heel (supposedly) by clobbering Hogan with his trademark baseball bat. His motives were bitterness and jealousy, two things that had never really been associated with the Stinger throughout his career.
Needless to say, he was a good guy again a few short months later.
