It was one of the loudest white hot reactions I’ve seen. My only thing is I just wish it happened in the Rumble with Wyatt & Bryan as the final 2, or even all the Wyatts as the final 4 to stack the odds. Bryan refuses to eliminate himself and takes them all out, correcting the mistake of the 2014 Rumble. Bryan later faces Bray 1-on-1 & then has to defend his shot against HHH. I also would’ve been interested in underdog Bryan facing corporate heel CM Punk at WM30 for the WWE WHC. Punk doing what Bryan did against Kofi in 2019 by becoming everything he once fought against, cashing in MITB at SummerSlam & becoming Vince’s puppet. If only Punk wasn’t such a headache in the locker room, this would’ve been cool to see. Although you could argue Bryan being kept out of the Rumble made his fan support even stronger. I also wish WM30 had The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family, Batista vs. Brock Lesnar, & John Cena vs. The Undertaker with the possibility of Cena turning heel to break the streak, or save that moment for Roman to go full Tribal Chief a couple years later.
The Usos forfeiting against the New Day was such a heartwarming moment. It was a genius idea in general to have Kofi’s friends fight for him in a gauntlet match for a WWE title shot at WM.
Jeff hardy being constantly destroyed by taker and still getting up to have taker raise his hand is the first wwe match I ever saw and is exactly why I love Jeff put his body on the line more than anyone took a beating
The Randy Savage and Elizabeth moment is like something out of Fantasia. Truly the closest thing WWE ever got to having that classic Disney magic. That and Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan's moment WM title wins.
I was at the Manchester, NH show live for the Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy championship ladder match. The crowd was ecstatic at Taker raising Hardy's hand up. Hard to describe that pop. Love your stuff Ross. Keep it up!
One of my favorites was when the first time Kane turned face, though it turned out to be a betrayal, sadly. Kane was called out by the DOA and some jobbers for attacking them, so he comes down to the ring. Before the brawl starts, Undertaker shows up too and the commentators say he's gonna join the 7 men in finishing off Kane, but then he helps him clear the ring. The next week, Paul Bearer can't find Kane. Then DX tries to get Kane to join them to oppose the Undertaker, but Undertaker comes out and threatens Shawn. DX starts ganging up on him and Kane comes out to save him, then they do the Undertaker kneeling thing at each other. Definitely my favorite moment, still gives me goosebumps. Unfortunately, they had Kane betray the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble so it probably wasn't a genuine face turn.
If Virgil only knew how to wrestle and cut a promo, then MAYBE his face turn woulda worked with Ted Dibiase. Like Punk said about Laurinitis "he had the look but boy oh boy did he suck".
The shield turning babyface and attacking kane was🔥. Daniel Bryan turning on the Wyatt family was awesome. Randy trowing up the double🖕🏽🖕🏽for Seth was Amazing
I live in Louisville, and during a raw here when he was still tagging with the miz, you should’ve heard the crowd cheering when he came out since he lived here for a while, he turned face pretty quickly after
I don't know what my all-time favorite is, just wanna highlight some of the ones on this list: 1. Bryan turn (even though it was short-lived) on the Wyatt Family.. a lot of frustration with his booking was worth it for that crowd 2. Seth return from injury vs Triple H .. he got to show he is a good babyface and a fitting foil for Triple H, a more natural turn due to recovery than Roman being forced against HHH. 3. Randy's "anger management in '06" promo.. him blending it with real life and snapping while Triple H stood pissed off 😂 otherwise forgettable WM storyline 4. Angle turning on The Alliance at the Survivor Series... I wrote about it before but all of the moments in those last few minutes of the show are such a sight to see. 5. Not necessarily Riley, maybe more Sandow - but the overall ability of Miz to incite great reactions out of his former proteges' turns. He should have do that more often, Ciampa may not be the best idea but Miz associate is a nice first easy story for someone they want to try out as a heel then face. 6. The Shield going against Authority... you could argue it didn't make sense for them to be sided with them in the first place, they were ready to fight odds as faces. 7. Randy showing a different side with RKBro... of all of the brooding or quiet heels they never did this with Randy, someone trying to break his stoic personality was a clever way to start a team. 8. Mr. Perfect cutting off Heenan and Flair... there is a good promo they don't show where he accepts Randy's offer. Bobby really was the Heyman of his day in terms of being a snake with words and then cowering when it gets physical. 9. LA Knight ... speaks for itself considering his NWA/TNA history but I wasn't sure how he would be as a main event face, glad they went this route! 10. Sami at the Rumble ... My anger about where this went aside, it was a legendary moment. Everything in the last year culminating in such an important match and decision. You rarely get those where you are on the edge of your seat to see what will happen and the consequences. 11. Ryback challenging Punk at Hell in a Cell ... Not a fan of Ryback the person, can't deny this would have been crazy at the time and Punk obviously did not need the year-long reign with how WWE treated his star level in 2012-13. I think fans wanted to see him take down the smaller conniving heel, oh well we got The Shield out of it. 12. Batista vs Triple H .. how could I forget this on my original edit? The one you least suspect having enough, the more threatening between him and Randy hiding longer in the shadow. They did great teasing it and the payoff with the look, the thumbs down, the powerbomb was awesome.
9:05 SPIT IN HIS ORTON ORTON DO IT DO IT YESSSSSSSSS 13:27 RIP Chico 15:49 I know I was born in the 90’s or early 2000 but this verison of DX wasn’t my favorite 17:17 Wonderful RKO
I don't understand why people always forget that John Cena was a heel in his early days and then he turned face... Cena's face turn should be on the list.
The shield at one point they were the authorities hitchmen triple h and Stephanie of course doing that time. And they finally turned their back on the authority that was awesome because not too long after that they had the feud with evolution 🤜🏾💯 awesome fuel to btw between the shield and evolution in 2014‼️💯💯
Rip bray Wyatt and rip umga and rip ultimate warrior and rip Scott Hall, a.k.a. razor Ramon and rip Luke, Harper and rip Eddie Guerrero and rip to Andre the giant and rip yokozuna rip mr. perfect and rip macho man Randy savage
Dolphins doing better now in TNA but man he deserves so much better in WWE bro they really dropped the ball with that man hopefully triple h can get him back cuz he was a good talent
One of my favorite (underrated) ones is when Seth went from tearing up the Shield to the slow burn with him and Triple H. Chef's kiss of a face turn. Edit: Yo the Usos turning face from the New Day feud was GREAT
Sami Zayn. Hands down. Though it was predictable. The payoff was amazing and emotional at the ppv. Also this was the second time the 'f*ck u Roman' chants was heard since raw after wm33 aka the undertaker match. That's how over Sami was with the fans. 5 years of a cowardly heel and now one of the most beloved wrestlers ever And the elimination chamber match felt like wm main event honestly. The first 15 min of people chanting 'Olé', F*ck u roman and Sami chants. And those 2 standing there and watching the crowd for 15 mins straight. Damn
I don't I feel you on that one Ross cuz what was the whole point of breaking them up just to have Jimmy screw him in the long run I was hoping they would go to raw and dominate as the world tag team champions but no they dropped the ball on that one and really f***** it up so yeah I agree 100% on that one😂
So now it’s hard for me to believe that you’re actually a fan of wwe considering you said, you don’t remember Dolph Ziggler being a heel especially considering he’s been a heel at least half of his career I mean he started WWE as a heel as a member of the spirit squad 🤷♂️
What is y’all favorite face turn from a wrestler 🤔
Seth Rollins
Big Show’s seventh face turn just hits different
The night matt saved jeff from cm punk
Batista 2005😌
ˢᵉᵗʰ
ᴰᵃⁿⁱᵉˡ bryan
When Daniel Bryan broke away from the Wyatt Family it was amazing. The crowd doing the YES! chant in unison was such a cool moment.
We all knew it wasn't gonna last long
But it was an awesome moment
That was pretty awesome
It was one of the loudest white hot reactions I’ve seen. My only thing is I just wish it happened in the Rumble with Wyatt & Bryan as the final 2, or even all the Wyatts as the final 4 to stack the odds.

I wish it woulda lasted a little longer but it still was a great moment
The Usos forfeiting against the New Day was such a heartwarming moment. It was a genius idea in general to have Kofi’s friends fight for him in a gauntlet match for a WWE title shot at WM.
Man everything done in that story was some of WWE's best work in decades.
Undertaker showing respect to Jeff Hardy and Daniel Bryan turning on Bray Wyatt are my favorites in this list
I swear this man uploads videos every 3 hours the consistency is incredible
Jeff hardy being constantly destroyed by taker and still getting up to have taker raise his hand is the first wwe match I ever saw and is exactly why I love Jeff put his body on the line more than anyone took a beating
12:57 Hopefully we see Cody pin Roman again this time for the WWE Title😖🤞🏾
17:40 My FAVORITE babyface turn of all time🔥
Fun Fact: Shane McMahon is now as old as Vince was during the Vince vs Stone Cold feud 25 years ago.
The Randy Savage and Elizabeth moment is like something out of Fantasia. Truly the closest thing WWE ever got to having that classic Disney magic. That and Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan's moment WM title wins.
Daniel Bryan face turn was pure gold 💯
Remember watching it on tv.

Love your stuff Ross. Keep it up!
18:58 poetic considering years later Sheamus would become Edge last WWE opponent
31:26 nah Kane got PALMED upside the dome lmfao😂
16:07 i feel like HHH wanted to break character but couldnt. Th look on his face is HILARIOUS. mans like "Aint no way boy"
Great video Ross, just sad to have so many R.I.P’s 🕊️
rip bray and brodie and all the others on this list who are gone
I wouldn't call the Hogan/Warrior moment a 'face' turn because both of them went into the match as babyfaces.
My favorite one was Daniel Bryan turning his back on the Wyatt family
loving the videos fan. always waiting for the next one to come out. keep up the good work.
Daniel Bryan face turn was epic.
seth turning face in 2016 is my fav
One of my favorites was when the first time Kane turned face, though it turned out to be a betrayal, sadly.

When Becky turned into the man by attacking flair that was amazing
That wasn’t a baby face turn tho. It was supposed to be a heel turn
@wail-hc2im I no but the pop she got a face like lol
@@rasheemjohnson6739 nope cuz she was a face at the first place.
@@funcky_boy.21 I said the pop not the turn although I get your point
"Hey you haven't broke me Undertaker I'm still standing"
If Virgil only knew how to wrestle and cut a promo, then MAYBE his face turn woulda worked with Ted Dibiase. Like Punk said about Laurinitis "he had the look but boy oh boy did he suck".
Erick rowan face turn was so good they put it twice lol
Love the longer format vids Ross Keep it up!!
Glad that Bo Dallas got to work with his brother Bray, before he passed.
another great vid, seen you and the homies at the game didn’t have time to come over an speak though 😕

I swear, mushing someone is one of the quickest ways to turn them face. It's so disrespectful you gotta retaliate
Yeah Dolph had been a heel with Bobby Roode for years before turning face on Theory.
9:05 SPIT IN HIS ORTON ORTON DO IT DO IT YESSSSSSSSS 13:27 RIP Chico 15:49 I know I was born in the 90’s or early 2000 but this verison of DX wasn’t my favorite 17:17 Wonderful RKO

Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt are legitimate brothers
Rip bray Wyatt and rip umga and rip ultimate warrior and rip Scott Hall, a.k.a. razor Ramon and rip Luke, Harper and rip Eddie Guerrero and rip to Andre the giant and rip yokozuna rip mr. perfect and rip macho man Randy savage
The reason why alex riley push did'nt happended because of john cena
Yup
Umaga never really gotten the chance to have a face run.
I think he turned babyface at end of his WWE's career
A vid I can watch at work? Bet
The usos were already faces when they forfeited that match and honestly daniel Bryan was a heel by association
Damn Daniel Bryant was so over when the yes momment was going on
Sheamus was one of the best. He didn't change personality or faction. He was being Sheamus.
God that guess what im out to with super kick instant goose bumps
Ross reactions to ryback now>😂
One correction Lesnar turned face after Survivor Series 2002 when Paul Heyman screwed Lesnar against the Big Show
Yeah, in fact, a few of the face turns in this list weren't proper face turns
@@ShayeAntonStewart2002 Yea I noticed that like the Ultimate Warrior clip beating Hogan like huh the Warrior was not a heel turned face
@@whatscraccintvwithjmilitant And the Usos forfeiting on behalf of the New Day too and many other examples in this list
When a great heel turn face he will get over af for example example you can see seth Rollins,drew mc intire
Umaga didn't care who he beat up if u were in the same ring as him u was getting hit
Umaga doesn't count because he never turned face after the match and Hogan warrior were 2 faces that went against each other
Wait I’m confused I thought Kane was already a face before facing triple h
Dolphins doing better now in TNA but man he deserves so much better in WWE bro they really dropped the ball with that man hopefully triple h can get him back cuz he was a good talent
When drew turn face it was cool but he needs to be a heel now
F

C

WE NEED THE SCOTTISH SOCIOPATH ☠️
Umaga turned face like Kamala😂😂
Why was the warrior vs hogan on this list? Of course everyone knows both were babyfaces.
Elias was released not to long ago
Baron is on NXT in Dusty Classic teaming with Bron Breaker
One of my favorite (underrated) ones is when Seth went from tearing up the Shield to the slow burn with him and Triple H. Chef's kiss of a face turn.
Edit: Yo the Usos turning face from the New Day feud was GREAT
Shawn technically wasn't a heel vs Hulk and it was only presented that way because Terry used his backstage politics
I think HBK said he didn't want turn heel that year and Hulk Hogan politically forced him to.
Imo Daniel or orton joining the wyatt family made ABSOLUTELY no sense
Sami Zayn. Hands down. Though it was predictable. The payoff was amazing and emotional at the ppv. Also this was the second time the 'f*ck u Roman' chants was heard since raw after wm33 aka the undertaker match. That's how over Sami was with the fans.

You need to switch boxes or do split screens when you do these videos. You'll get more views for sure.
Elias. is not in the WWE no more they removed him
did you watch Raw last night ? It was actually really good
I don't I feel you on that one Ross cuz what was the whole point of breaking them up just to have Jimmy screw him in the long run I was hoping they would go to raw and dominate as the world tag team champions but no they dropped the ball on that one and really f***** it up so yeah I agree 100% on that one😂
batista's best for me. that iconic thumbs down
Rock vs hogan wasn’t a double turn
Hogan wasn't a heel when facing Warrior.
I love yòur videos. Bro could u please check and see if R Truth is ok after Reed got ahold of hìm please ❤❤❤your sensitive Susan
Hogan and Warrior were both face. There was no turn.
CHEESE
Blame John cena for Alex Riley

So now it’s hard for me to believe that you’re actually a fan of wwe considering you said, you don’t remember Dolph Ziggler being a heel especially considering he’s been a heel at least half of his career I mean he started WWE as a heel as a member of the spirit squad 🤷♂️
I was guessing he was referring to that time period
Some of the names on the list doesn't make sense at all.
WWE>aew
Damn dolph Ziggler was wasted talent
Stephanie McMahons voice is every bit as insufferable as Vicki Guerrero
A very loose interpretation of face turn being used in that video
Jimmy is a sellout
