Top 10 heel turns in the modern era – Part Two

3. Stone Cold makes a deal with the devil

The Austin – McMahon rivalry is arguably the greatest feud in professional wrestling history. Vince tried to do everything within his power to get rid of Austin, and Austin did everything he could to make Vince’s life miserable. After all the beer baths and pointing guns, Austin faced The Rock for the WWF title at WrestleMania in 2001, and that was when Austin shocked the world.

As Jim Ross voiced his utter shock and disgust, Austin defeated The Rock with the help of Vince McMahon and won the WWF championship. As J.R said that Austin had made a deal with the devil himself, Austin shook Vince’s hand, and the fans couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. Austin’s heel turn wasn’t successful, however, as the crowd cheered him on no matter what he did.
