Heels turned Face

By Scott Keith on 16 June 2021


Scott,

I've been watching a fair amount of WWF house shows from the early 80s, and its remarkable how hated Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Snuka and Sergeant Slaughter were given the majority of their WWF career. Would these 3 be the biggest examples of heels turned faces in
wrestling ever?
Hogan certainly. Slaughter as a babyface wasn’t really a huge national draw outside of his brief hot run in the WWF and his GI Joe money, though. I’d say he was a way bigger deal to wrestling fans as a heel.
