Edge in 2010 made little to no sense. People on here were saying it was great because Edge sucked as a Face, but the dude was getting great pops and by this stage, the whole "Rated R Superstar" deal was played out. It was about time he be someone different. I was glad they turned him back later that year but the whole turn sucked to begin with.

Owen Hart in '98. Not that there's anything wrong at all with a heel Owen, but attacking Shamrock (his tag partner) out of nowhere and trying to bite his ear off? The motivation and execution were pretty WTF.
Marty Jannetty in '96 went they formed the New Rockers. He was always loved by the crowds before that point. They never explained why he started acting like he did, and people quickly just stopped caring about him.

Davey Boy Smith - I get that he went on to have WWF Championship matches that were foregone conclusions as soon as they were announced, and that he held some mid-card titles, but it's still baffling why they would take such a popular wrestler and turn him heel to advance King Mabel and Sir Mo's "Royal Plan" to defeat Diesel at SummerSlam 1995 (a match that almost nobody cared about to begin with).

Christian's last heel turn. Utterly stupid to have him do that and insult his fans when his popularity was solid. All the hallmarks of being sabotaged by someone.

Cenas heel turn on Raw that time was god awful. Probably the shortest turn in history also.

Alicia Fox's turn where she went from being a face jobber to a heel jobber simply by frowning when she came out one episode.

Honestly, the turn is something of a lost artform in present day WWE.
Guys used to rock their schtick for their entire careers and only turn after their dynamic with their tag partner had been shown to be degenerating for the better part of a year or whatever.
Now it's like "Well, it's August. Better hit somebody with a folding chair and pretend like you're mad all the time aderp aderp."
Imagine how flat the nWo would've been if The Huckster had flipped like these dudes now.

Billy Kidman in 2004, his reason being that the fans were animals because they wanted to see him do his exciting finishing move.

Tatanka.
Tired of being held down by the white man, he attacks Bobby Lashley.

Honestly I was thinking Tatanka in 1994, not his turn on Lashley. The first turn basically wrecked the guy's career, since he did nothing different other than now he's bad. Didn't change his gimmick any, his attire, etc. It would have made so much sense to have Luger join Dibiase too, since Lex was toast as a face by then.
Rikishi in 2000 was bad too. Maybe even worse since it was a main event level storyline, whereas the Tatanka deal was more midcard.

I have to go with Rikishi because not only did it kill his momentum, but Too Cool's as well. The three of them were crazy over at the time, and that ultimately pointless heel turn brought it to a screeching halt.

Edge's from 2010 was the first that came to mind. Edge was one of the top guys in the company, and they couldn't think of a more dramatic heel turn than a promo in the middle of some random SmackDown episode? Turning him heel at that point was dumb anyway, but if you're set on doing it, at least do it right.

Punk rarely got booed last/early this year. I really couldn't boo Punk for the one simple reason of his feud against The Rock & Cena: He was right.
