Top 10 heel turns in the modern era – Part One

8. Shawn Michaels betrays his partner

Long before Shawn became the icon in the WWE, he was a part of the tag team known as The Rockers, along with Marty Jannetty. As Michaels wanted to pursue his singles career, he wanted to go his own way. This led to the memorable Barber shop incident, where Brutus had Shawn and Marty as his guests. As things would have it, Shawn turned on Marty, leading to an official split.

Shawn delivered a super kick to Marty, and threw him head first through the window, which is now one of the most iconic incidents in the WWE. What added to this turn was the genius of Bobby Heenan, who implied that Marty was trying to escape through the window! Those are the times that will never return in the WWE.
