EDIT: Completely forgot about this "Show and Shane formed “The Conspiracy” with Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, and Edge and Christian."

I know he and Kane are frequently referred to for their nonstop turns, but the guy who I could never figure out their alignment was Attitude-era Val Venis. It seemed like his face/heel status was based solely on who he was plowing

I just assumed Val was face and didn't turn heel until he stuffed "Mr. Rocko" down his pants and started feuding with Mankind.

There were times where he would do the quasi-Rick Rude thing with the towel and seemed to be much more heelish and arrogant. I think there was something with Nicole Bass at some point as well. Then there was the RTC, Chief Morley runs and the like...It was all kind of one big haze.

Inspired by this, here's my attempt to calculate Kane's turns:

- Debuts in 1997 as a heel coming after Undertaker.

- Turned face for a bit in early 1998 to side with 'Taker vs. D-X.

- Turns heel at 1998 Royal Rumble when he betrays and sets Undertaker on fire in a casket.

- Turns face in Oct./Nov. 1998 when Paul Bearer betrays him for Undertaker, then having an alliance with Stone Cold Steve Austin for a bit.

- Turns heel shortly after as a member of The Corporation.

- Around April/May 1999, turns face and teams up with D-X's X-Pac.

- Turned heel in Summer 2000 to feud with American Bad Ass Undertaker.

- Turned back face in early(?) 2001 to team up with Undertaker as the Brothers of Destruction. Would disappear for a bit in 2002, but returned as face with a new appearance.

- Turned heel in August 2003 after being unmasked.

- Turned face in 2005(?).

- Turned heel in 2007(?)

- Stays face until 2010, when he reveals his "plan" to destroy the Undertaker.

- Turned face in early 2011 to team-up with Big Show, Kofi Kingston, and Santino in a hilariously one-sided squash of The Corre at WM27.

- After some time off, returns in December 2011 as a heel to start a feud with John Cena.

- Turned face in late 2012 as part of Team Hell No with Daniel Bryan.

- Turned heel in November 2013 when emerging as "Korporate Kane" after going missing for a few months due to being taken by the Wyatt Family. He joins The Authority as "Director of Operations".

You forgot "turned back face in 2011 to team with Big Show" (one that gets points for being one of the more blatant throwaway turns, because even in 2011- before the new, masked appearance, it was clearly a "we're just trying to shoehorn him on the Mania 27 card" move.

HE was in WCW a lot less and turne like 5 times in one year. Poor Show.

Actually, The Giant's turn history is pretty clear cut.

Debuted in the Dungeon of Doom as a heel in 1995.

Turned face to oppose the nWo as World champion in July of 1996.

Sold out WCW and joined the nWo after losing the title around August of 1996.

Turned face when Hogan refused to honor his World War 3 mandated title shot at the end of 96.

Rejoined nWo Hollywood and turned heel in May 1998 to oppose Kevin Nash's Wolfpac. He would stay as a heel until his contract expired and jumped to the WWF.

It's not bad considering 1996 and the nWo formation screwed with everyone's alignment.

Face all through 97? Dang I remember it differently.
