10 Wrestling Heel Turns That Made No Sense Whatsoever

2. Austin's Alliance

In fact, you could probably just put huge parts of the Invasion angle in here. Why did ECW align with WCW when it was Ted Turner & Co that the Extreme lot hated the most?

You can run with the McMahons as the owners all you like, but Stephanie and Shane working together made little sense by then as well.

Despite all of this, the dumbest turn of any during this time was performed by the man that would be the figurehead of the Alliance, Stone Cold Steve Austin. He had not long returned to the WWF, and received a thunderous applause on RAW when he stormed out to clear the ring of the invaders.

It was soon revealed that Austin was working with the Alliance however, aligning himself with WCW and ECW. This made and still makes no sense. Austin had been treated like dirt by WCW in his earlier career, and the logic that he wanted to put Vince McMahon out of business doesn't add up when you consider the events of WrestleMania X-Seven just months earlier.

Not only did this turn make no sense, you could also argue that it condemned the Invasion storyline to certain failure.

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.
