8 Biggest Turncoats In WWE History

Ah yes, the King of Turns. The man who has been both a face and a heel so many times, at this point, the two are just separate characters. The epitome of WWE assuming fans have short attention spans, Big Show is just plopped into the face or heel role willy-nilly whenever the writers don’t have better ideas. Is the Big Show a gentle giant who stands up for the little guy, or is he a big, mean ogre who imposes his will on all those weaker than him? I don’t think Big Show could answer that question, as he seems just as confused as we are.

Since Show’s debut in 1999 for WWE as a heel, the company have had him flip-flop with seeming regularity. People have counted up to 23 distinct times Show has made the switch from heel to face or vice versa, and I bet you’d find lists that count more.

It's honestly hurt Big Show a great degree. While it’s true many wrestlers are capable of seamlessly transitioning from face to heel multiple times (see Chris Jericho), the way the Giant has been so carelessly and frequently tossed between alignments made it difficult for people to take him seriously during his prime. Nowadays, with him being a face since early 2016, fans have steadily become more accepting of him and his character, which is a shame, because he's likely to retire soon.

Whatever legacy Big Show leaves behind, he’ll always have the distinction of being WWE’s biggest turncoat.
