WWE: 10 Greatest Babyface Turns In History

9. Virgil

http://youtu.be/EDJlrhW015g Whilst the face turn of Batista led him to glory and main event stardom, the corresponding actions could not greatly enhance the reputation of Virgil. Between 1987 and 1991, Virgil had been the bodyguard of Ted DiBiase Sr., and would often use any opportunity to aid the Million Dollar Man to a victory. Nevertheless, the bonds between them were eventually strained leading up to the Royal Rumble 1991, with Virgil slowly becoming more and more irritated by DiBiase's mistreatment and increasing acts of humiliation. At the PPV, following an accidental clothesline in the tag team match against Dusty and Dustin Rhodes, Dibiase proceeded to assault Virgil, before cheaply rolling up Dusty for the victory. He then proceeded to goad the crowd and Virgil, telling him to bring his Million Dollar Championship into the ring. Virgil brought it up close and personal when he smacked the title across DiBiase's face, eliciting a buoyant response from the fans after many months of abuse at the hands of his wicked employer. Virgil did go on to have a measure of success in his new-found popularity, defeating his ex-boss for the Million Dollar Championship at Summerslam, before dropping it again at Survivor Series. Then, Virgil would often remain among the lower card, although he did at one point have a hard fought attempt at the WWE Championship against Bret Hart. But the pay-off of the long-desired turn was a great moment for Virgil, and provided the best moments of an otherwise forgettable career.
