If anything in your opinion since we have the best/worst/favorite heel turn topic, I thought that there should be one for face turns, and if anything which is your favorite face turn, best face turn and worst face turn?
Best face turn for me anyway has got to be Randy Orton turning face in 2010 because if anything it helped revitalize his character and it was the best way to break away from Legacy since Rhodes and DiBiase all they did was hold Orton back and they cost him the WWE Title on more than one occasion and the Viper is the #2 or #3 guy in the company right now, definitely needs to stay face or if anything he should go heel again
Worst face turn for me has got to be Sheamus turning face in 2011 because he is just better suited as a heel and his character if anything just screams heel, so he should definitely turn back into one
Favorite face turn for me has got to be Triple H turning face in 2006 to re-form DX with HBK, to feud with the McMahons

I think Batista's face turn in 2005 is my favorite one actually. It was slowly built up and when he officially turned the night he chose to face HHH at Wrestlemania 21, it produced great results. He was over and the crowd cared about him. You can't rush turns. Sometimes building them up will work better in the long run. The implosion of Evolution was great.
I think Randy Orton's in 2004 is the worst face turn. He was doing well as a heel and then BAM was a face all of a sudden because HHH and Evolution beat him down. Initially, it could have worked well, but it just floundered partially because nobody could really buy Orton as a face because he's a natural heel. He had some good matches as a face with Edge, but overall it didn't really work. The crowd slowly started booing him more each week.

Best for me was Hulk Hogan in 2002
Worst for me I think was Randy Orton around 2009ish because he was such a great heel the sudden face turn wasn't fitting
Favourite was Chris Jericho's most recent face turn after 5 years of us being hypocrites we are finally recognised once again as Jerichoholics

hbk/hogan shocked me. came out of nowhere. loved it!
HBK/jannetty stands out, but was coming at some point, bobbys reaction on commentary was awesome.
hogan at Bash is clearly the biggest ever i think, ironically, bobby nearly spoiled it on commentary "whos side is he on!" before hogan got in the ring.
HHH/ hbk teasing DX reunion was another shocker to me. i was like "oh damn"
Punks caught me off guard too. loved it (vs rock)!
rock against mankind at survivor series for title
i remember scott turning on rick, that was unexpected for me back then.

Undertaker's first face turn on Jake Roberts was good. Macho Man turning face at WrestleMania VII is one of wrestling's classic moments, as is Austin at WrestleMania 13. My favourite might be Rock after Backlash '99.  |
