Have you seen a more half-baked heel turn than Foley’s? I guess they’re setting up ECW vs. WWE but it was very short-sighted.
I will agree with you that the execution of the heel turn was not done well. However, if it leads to the return of the anti-hardcore Cactus Jack from ECW then the execution of the turn won’t matter. That character was the epitomy of everything that made ECW great.
As far as a more half-baked heel turn, the whole Kane turns bad when he hears May 19 could be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. I hate when they use the wrestling shows to promote a movie. That has led to such horrible events as Zeus being in a main event, Robocop saving Sting, Chucky threatening Rick Steiner and David Arquette winning the WCW title.
