The Old Bucks are joined by Gherkins Dunphy from Shaz Beef’s Gorilla Room to take a look at some of the worst heel turns in professional wrestling history.

A great heel turn can change the entire direction of a character, but when it goes wrong it can confuse fans, damage momentum, or simply make no sense at all. The lads dig into some of the most debated turns ever, including Stone Cold Steve Austin aligning with Vince McMahon at WrestleMania X-Seven, Rikishi revealing he “did it for the Rock,” and the recent heel turn of John Cena.

Along the way the discussion moves across multiple eras and promotions including WCW, WWE, and AEW, as the lads debate what actually makes a heel turn work — and why some of wrestling’s biggest moments didn’t land the way they should have.
