5 Superstars who were poorly booked by WWE

#2 Stone Cold's Heel Turn

Austin's heel turn is still considered as a failure by the WWE

That invasion plan needed guys like Steve Austin on the WWF side, and he should've been supporting the organization he had rebuilt from WCW units. It didn't need the creative team's refusal to see that, or their firm belief that Austin should remain heel when fans were whining out to see him "open up a can of whoop-a$$" on Shane O Mac's boys.

WrestleMania X-Seven is globally known as the best WrestleMania of all time. So many legendary matches took place on this show; Triple H vs The Undertaker, TLC II, Kane vs Big Show vs Raven for the Hardcore title. However, out all these legendary matches, there’s one that stands out above all the rest – The Rock vs Steve Austin in the main event for the WWE Championship. Most people remember this match for one reason and, sadly, it’s not the best one.

It could be argued that turning Steve Austin heel at WrestleMania X7 was the mistake creatives could have made in 2001. It's a solid exchange, but it was also arguably worth trying. In 2001, Austin had a long run as a heel, and it was strong of him and Vince McMahon to give something else a go.

Despite the distinct absence of star power on The Alliance side, it didn't make sense that Austin would serve WCW. Years earlier, he had been brutally abandoned by that company and forced to pick up the remnants of his career in the WWF. Staying loyal to the company who helped him become a megastar as "Stone Cold" would've been more relevant.
