I can't think of a lot of the top of my head at the moment, but I've been wanting to put this thread up for a while. I'll get the ball rolling with one of my favorites.
Owen turning on Bret was such a great story and it had a damn good run with some excellent matches in the process. It was a gradual change. Even though I like the surprise ones, it was a turn that made quite an impact. Owen, the clean cut good guy who always supported his brother finally got fed-up with his brother "hogging" the spotlight. The 1994 Royal Rumble turn was a great moment when Owen kicked out his brother's leg to signify his turn. And then during an interview in the back, Owen gets caught up in emotion and the moment and screams out by accident"......and that's why I kicked your leg outta your..leg!" Priceless, indeed.
Ok, all else can share now

Bob Backlund makes a "face" comeback after a few years, working his way all the way up the ladder just to get beaten cleanly by Bret Hart before shaking his hand...
.. and coming up right behind and putting him in the crossface chicken wing for 3-4 minutes while losing whatever was left of his sanity.

Well, this is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, and it's one of his many heel turns but this one remains my favorite. Ric Flair and Sting has supposedly buried the hachet and were tag team partners at Halloween Havoc('95 I think) and were going against Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. Well Flair gets beat up beforehand, shows up late to help out Sting, urging him to make the tag. When he does, he does his usual strut, stylin' and profilin', then he decks Sting out of nowhere and Double A, Pillman, and Flair start beating the crap out of him. Afterwards, the new Four Horsemen were formed with Benoit rounding out the group as the fourth member. Man, those were the days.

Sting was always such a sucker.

That's what was so loveable about that angle. Sting was very gullible.

How many times did he trust Lex Luger?
How many times did Luger burn him?

Seeing Luger's amazingly shiny muscles burned my eyes.

I got Sting to trust me after I slept with his wife and lit his church on fire. Thanks Sting!  |

Something like that could only be a good thing for Sting with his ugly wife and fake church retreat

When Triple H back in his "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" days started an angle with Mr. Perfect, which originally started as a joke for Hennig. Hennig created a friendship between Marc Mero and Mr. Perfect by taking Hunter's escorts away(this was after Triple H lost Sable to Mero), which eventually led to Triple H challenging Hennig.
Before their RAW match, Triple H "attacked" Hennig backstage to the point where he was "injured", or so was thought. Hennig came down with Marc Mero, and told everyone that he couldn't wrestle, but then he asked Mero to take his place. Since Mero hated Triple H anyway, he agreed. But Triple H said he wouldn't wrestle Mero unless the title was on the line. The screwjob was so perfectly set up, and at the end of the match Hennig ran into the ring to attack Hunter with a chair. Instead of whacking Triple H, he drilled Marc Mero to enable Triple H to win his first WWF title.
I don't think *anybody* saw that swerve coming.

Bret Hart during his "I Quit" match with Austin was a masterful turn.
