The best heel turn is one that no one sees coming and breaks the hearts of the fans while devastating the wrestlers betrayed in the act. Some heel turns fans never see coming, such as Seth Rollins betraying The Shield. Others, fans see hints of, such as Shawn Michaels superkicking Marty Jannetty through the Barber Shop window. Yet others changed the entire landscape of professional wrestling, such as when Hulk Hogan dropped the leg on Macho Man Randy Savage and started the nWo.

While WCW had one of the most successful heel turns in professional wrestling history, they also had others that flopped and left fans shaking their heads, or in the worst case, changing channels. Here is a look at 10 WCW heel turns that made absolutely no sense.

10 GOLDBERG

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

The worst booking in WCW history came in 2000 when Vince Russo arrived and started booking an angle where Bill Goldberg, the biggest star in the company who got over on his own, turned heel. Goldberg turned heel at the Great American Bash in 2000, betraying world champion Kevin Nash and then helping Jeff Jarrett and the New Blood.

It made no sense, and fans hated it. Why did Goldberg suddenly turn heel and betray the fans? No one knows but then it got worse when Russo decided to book a work-shoot where Goldberg spoke out about the turn and refused to cooperate in a three-way match with Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner, with the announcers telling the audience that Goldberg was not professional when he refused to take the Jackknife Powerbomb, basically revealing everything was pre-determined.

9 STING

In WWE, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat wanted to turn heel at one point, but WWE would not allow it, smartly, and Steamboat remained a face for the rest of his career. Fans wanted John Cena to turn heel for years, but WWE knew better, and Cena himself said he couldn't turn heel for reasons other than WWE storylines.

In WCW, that man was Sting. Despite this, WCW tried to turn Sting heel in 1999 at Fall Brawl. He was booked in a face vs. face match with Hulk Hogan. After a lot of interference on the match, Sting took a baseball bat and bashed in Hogan's skull, winning his sixth world title. No one booed Sting, and he turned face again two months later.

8 KEVIN NASH

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

The one angle that turned more fans away from WCW more than any other was the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom. This took place on Monday Nitro on Jan. 4, 1999, and took place one night after Starrcade 1998. Kevin Nash was the babyface, and he was battling Goldberg and won the title. He then laid down for Hogan one night later, and fans changed the channel in protest.

What many fans probably have forgotten about by this time was that Kevin Nash was part of the nWo Wolfpac at this time, a spinoff of the nWo that fans loved. However, when Kevin Nash turned heel at Starrcade, it made sense based on his character. When he laid down for Hogan, that was where the heel turn went off the rails, and WCW never recovered.

7 HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN

Hacksaw Jin Duggan had worked as a heel before in Mid-South Wrestling when he and Ted DiBiase were partners. However, after his face turn in Mid-South, Duggan went on a very long run as a loveable babyface. That continued in WWE when he waved the American Flag and fans loved him for it.

In WCW, Duggan continued his flag-waving, 2x4 swinging gimmick and fans still cheered for him despite his 40-year old body breaking down on him. Then, inexplicably, Duggan turned heel at the age of 46, for the first time in almost two decades by joining Team Canada of all things. Fans hated it, and soon WCW had Team Canada turn on him.

6 CURT HENNIG

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

Mr. Perfect was underutilized in WWE due to a back injury that kept getting worse as time wore on. He held titles there and was booked to work alongside with Nature Boy Ric Flair and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, but the former AWA world champion soon had to bow out of his commitment to that company.

Curt Hennig moved to WCW because he wanted to keep wrestling. Hennig joined as a babyface working with Diamond Dallas Page, but he ended up turning on Page at the Bash at the Beast in 1997 and joining the nWo. By this time, the nWo was bloated, and Hennig became just another guy before he ended up in the West Texas Rednecks, an embarrassing faction that ended his tenure with WCW.

5 BRET HART

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

Bret "The Hitman" Hart was the biggest acquisition of WCW, even more so than names like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. With the Montreal Screwjob on everyone's minds, Hart had a chance to come in as a massive hero and swing the tide in WCW's favor. However, Hart was booked terribly from the start in WCW.

Hart showed up and helped Sting beat Hogan for the world title at Starrcade and then moved on to become a strong part of WCW in their feud with the nWo. In April, Hart turned heel and helped Hogan win the world title from Randy Savage, just five months after costing Hogan the title. Hart then turned face and asked for forgiveness five months later, and then immediately turned heel again, and fans stopped caring.

4 MISS ELIZABETH

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

One of the greatest stories in WWE history dealt with the relationship between Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. Elizabeth was Savage's first manager, but they separated, and Sherri Martel became his manager. Elizabeth came to Savage's rescue when Sherri attacked him, and the two had a kayfabe marriage on TV.

When Randy Savage came to WCW, he and Elizabeth were already divorced. However, WCW wanted to bring back the spark and had Elizabeth return as his manager in WCW. Three weeks later, Elizabeth turned on Savage and joined up with Ric Flair. The woman that fans had cheered for over a decade was now supposed to be a heel and it just never felt right.

3 RANDY SAVAGE

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

Macho Man Randy Savage had one of the best heel turns of all-time when he attacked Hulk Hogan in WWE after he grew jealous of Hogan's relationship with Miss Elizabeth. The Mega Powers imploded, and it was an amazing story. Then, in WCW, Hulk Hogan pulled off the best heel turn in history when he dropped a leg on Savage and started the nWo.

Savage was successful in WCW, a multi-time world champion and someone who turned face and heel multiple times as well. However, the one heel turn that made no sense came after Savage left WCW for a time due to contract negotiations going wrong. He joined up with Sting to watch the nWo and then turned on Sting almost immediately to join the nWo.

2 LEX LUGER

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

Lex Luger was a natural heel. Even when Luger was a babyface, he displayed almost more heel tendencies than babyface actions. The best Lex Luger moments in WCW had to be when he teamed with his best friend Sting and acted like a babyface when Sting was watching and then breaking the rules when Sting's back was turned.

With that in mind, Lex Luger was the biggest babyface in WCW when Ric Flair helped put him over in the early '90s. Then, Flair left the company for WWE and left WCW in a predicament. After Luger had developed himself as a top babyface in the company, the 1991 Great American Bash saw Lex Luger battle Barry Windham for the vacant WCW title and Luger turned heel, taking on Harley Race as his manager. Fans didn't care, turned on Luger, and chanted, "We want Flair."

1 RIC FLAIR

10 WCW Heel Turns That Made No Sense

Ric Flair could never be trusted. Just ask Sting, who trusted Flair so many times only to find a knife in his back, that he earned the name the "dumbest man in WCW" for trusting too many people. However, there was at least one Ric Flair heel turn that made no sense.

By 1999, Flair was a God to WCW fans. Even with the company treating him like a second class citizen for so long, fans blew the roof off the arenas whenever Flair showed up. At Uncensored 1999, Ric Flair battled Hulk Hogan and fans loved to see the two '80s icons battle. WCW tried a double turn, with Flair cheating and using a tire iron to win the match, but fans didn't buy it and wouldn't cheer for Hogan or boo Flair. They just left confused and angry at the booking and heel turn.
