Shawn Michaels and heel turns

Shawn Michaels had, for some reason, a penchant of being involved in a number of well-executed heel turns.

Top WWE star punished? More details HERE

When he Superkicked then tag team partner Marty Jannetty to the depths of hell, when he Superkicked the dentures off Hulk Hogan's face (deservedly so, I might add) or when he was on the receiving end, having his head shoved into the Jeritron by Chris Jericho or while being double-crossed by his DX partner-in-crime, Triple H.

In every case, it wasn't a heel turn that we could see coming and it led to an engaging feud to follow.

Perhaps it just boiled down to good booking when he was involved or maybe he just had a knack of pulling off a swerve.

Either way, we're not complaining.

And we'll leave you with a hilarious match that was borne out of one such heel turn: Michaels vs Hogan at SummerSlam 2005.

Enjoy.
