WWE History Vol. 15: The greatest heel turns

Hulk Hogan's heel turn at Bash at the Beach reverberates through wrestling history. Where does it rank on our list?

#9 Paul Bearer--SummerSlam 1996

Mankind and Paul Bearer during the aftermath of SummerSlam 1996.

No one has a better win loss record against the legendary Phenom, The Undertaker, than Mick Foley aka Mankind.

Mankind's main purpose was to help humanize Undertaker, who had been booked to look invincible for many years. To that end they engaged in a vicious feud, which culminated at SummerSlam 1996 in a brand new match type: The Boiler Room brawl.

Mixing horror elements and suspense with the traditional backstage brawling style popular since the 1970s, the boiler room brawl was a smash hit, particularly the shocker ending. Paul Bearer, whose name was synonymous with the Undertaker almost from the get go, betrayed his former ally and sided with Mankind instead.

It's a heel turn that no one could stop talking about at the time, and helped usher in the Attitude Era's feeling of 'anything goes.'
