5 Worst Heel Turns in the WWE

#4 Jim Ross turns his back on the WWE Universe in 1996, bringing in Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon

Using Jim Ross to bring about Fake Diesel and Razor didn't pan out.

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash left the WWE in 1996, leveling the WWE in a huge way, giving WCW exactly what they needed to defeat them in the ratings. However, the WWE still owned the rights to the characters of Diesel and Razor Ramon. In an attempt to keep the fan favorite gimmicks around, Jim Ross reintroduced "Razor Ramon" and "Diesel" to the WWE on September 23, 1996.

Nothing about this storyline went over well with the audience

While backed up by the new Razor and Diesel, Jim Ross took cheap shots at Vince McMahon, officially outing him as the Chairman of the WWE in kayfabe. JR claimed that he was the reason why so many top stars left the company, as he looked to take down the company for treating him so poorly over the years.

The bitter Jim Ross continuously verbally assaulted Vince McMahon while badmouthing the entire WWF. The storyline was shortlived, however, and the turn was quickly dropped, along with fake Diesel and fake Razor Ramon.
