10 Wrestling Heel Turns That Made No Sense Whatsoever

TNA wasn't too terrible in 2005. Sure, the virus that was constantly bringing in ageing veterans to clog up the main event scene was around, but the company also had an incredible roster of talent and some of their homegrown faces were really catching fire.

One such name was Monty Brown, who also wrestled in WWECW as Marcus Cor Von. The TNA faithful loved Brown, and desperately wanted to see him usurp Jeff Jarrett at the top of the company. He had come close on a number of occasions, but it seemed to only be a matter of time before TNA pulled the trigger.

In the main event of Destination X in 2005, Jarrett was defending his title against Diamond Dallas Page when, after a mass of interference, Brown made his way to ringside. Instead of attacking his nemesis Jarrett (or even laying out both men, which would have made more sense), Brown delivered a Pounce to DDP and draped Jarrett's arm over him, allowing the champ to retain.

It made no sense at all, and Brown's rationale that he turned because of a lack of opportunities at Jarrett made no sense when you saw that he had aligned with that same man.

The turn put an end to all momentum Brown had, and was a very early sign of TNA's cracking ability to shoot itself in the foot.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
