>>8807727agreed
then vinces shitty invason and austin 2nd heel turn in 4 months killed wwf and stone cold's drawing power
but i just wanted to mention it
the 'double turn' at wm13 is also fake news, and it's been adopted by wwe too
it's bullshit revisionism, it wasnt a double turn
bret finally fully turned heel, he was teetering on the verge, so were the fans on him, and wm13 is when he finally said fuck it and so did the fans
and while fans may have like austin's gutsy performance, he didnt automatically turn face
he was still a heel in the aftermath
it merely began his own slow burn turn, except to babyface
when they faced off at the april ppv, both bret and austin were basically heels
in may when austin challenged undertaker for the belt, austin was the heel
it only really started becoming noticeable / kicked off in the summer
maybe when he had the mini rivalry with shawn
when he became tag champs with dude love
and led the usa vs canada fight against the harts
and started stunnering everyone
and broke his neck but still came back to tv as soon as he could and kept playing the character, still stunnering everyone he could
then finally, finally, the november program with owen, the rematch, and finally capturing the ic title again at SS
only then could you say the face turn was complete
