i was watching return of the jedi and it got me thinking about the emperor/Palpatine, one of the most evil characters in movie history. it got me to thinking about the biggest heel turns of all time. not to get all bill simmons on everyone (because i am not nearly as clever or as funny as he is) but here are the top ten heel turns of all time. i am sure i am forgetting some, so i would love for any good ones to be added. in no order, here goes:
*for those who watch the shield, Shane kills lem. nothing else needs to be said.
*that snake art modell moves the browns out of Cleveland to Baltimore. part two of this is browns legend ozzie newsome becomes the longtime and very savvy gm of the ravens.
*johnny damon leaves the red sox for the yankees. red sox nation help make damon a household name. he leaves, the sox get younger, less expensive and win a title, the yankees are forced to move the weak armed damon out of center field within 2 years
*palpatine turns out to be working for the dark side all along.
*parcells leaves the patriots for the rival jets. parcells is gone 4 years later, the patriots go on to win a bunch of super bowls. along with this is how curtis martin left the pats to join the jets out of loyalty to parcells (who was gone 4 years later) and had to watch the pats win 3 super bowls without him.
*Terry Silver pretends to help Danny Larusso in Karate Kid III, only to later reveal himself as a longtime friend of John Kreese, and a Cobra Kai sympathizer.
*Hulk Hogan comes down to the ring at Bash At The Beach , appearing to be there to help Lex Luger, Sting, and Randy Savage. Hogan gets to the ring and shows he is the third man in the Hall/Nash/Mystery Partner team. Hogan helps destroy Luger, Sting, and Savage and the NWO is formed.
*Karen goes back to Rick at the end of The Last American Virgin, leaving a crying Gary broken hearted.
*Andre the Giant turns heel on Hulk Hogan, comes onto the set with Bobby Heenan, and challenges him to a match at WrestleMania III, and rips off his shirt and crucifix before walking off the set with Heenan as well.
*henry hill enters witness protection and sells out former friends Jimmy Conway and Paul Cicero, two of the guys who got him started in the business.
that is all i got.....would love to hear others.
