Next you need to do least favorite heel turns and favorite face turns. lets do em homie! These come to mind. Worst Heel Turns: Austin at WM17 - people didn't want to boo Austin yet. Less than a year later they were turning him back. Sting in 1999 - same as above, people didn't want to boo Sting. It was like 4 months later they turned him back babyface. Tatanka in 1994 - didn't really do anything for him, they should have turned Lex Luger heel and returned him to his Total Package/Narcissist gimmick. Jim Duggan in WCW - just didn't seem right him not being for the USA. Demolition in 1990 - just came off a great babyface run and could have been big but they turned them quickly and jobbed them out too soon. Road Warriors in 1988 - same as Austin and Sting, didn't seem like people wanted to hate these guys at that time. Best Face Turns: Steve Austin at WM13 - fans were ready to start cheering him, after this turn he became the biggest star in wrestling. Randy Savage in 1987 - was a white-hot heel and then became the 2nd biggest babyface in the company. He had a great run as WWF champion. Andre the Giant at WM6 - it was a nice send off for him. Didn't really do anything for him but it was nice that he ended his WWF career with a standing ovation. Mr. Perfect in 1992/93 - it was nice to see him get another run, fans really took to him, too bad it was short because of injuries. Paul Orndorff after WM1 - he really got over strong, had a nice run, and it set him up for a great run with Hogan when he turned on him. Roddy Piper in 1986/87 - like Savage, he was a white-hot heel who got over huge as a babyface. Demolition at SSE 88 - turned them into the biggest/most popular tag team in the company.

Worst Heel Turns.
Big Show at various times - felt like a weekly event with him turning. The laws of diminishing returns in play each time. Rikishi - he probably needed to freshen his act up at that point but was poor saying he was the driver because his people had been held down. Then cast aside as pawn for Triple H. Could have been a hell of a heel with a better storyline. The Radicalz - I get they needed a reason to gain contracts but the whole angle of attacking Foley so soon after they arrived was weak.
I’d agree with MK Savage on his choices as well.
