• Stone Cold Explains Why He Turned Heel At WrestleMania 17
During an interview with Dan Patrick, WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin explained why he turned heel at WWF WrestleMania 17 back in 2001.
Below is what Austin said:
“Well, they revolted. They didn’t want to hate me. By that time they loved me so much. You always want to do something big at WrestleMania. I didn’t think we had anything big that year, so I told Vince ‘hey man, I’ll turn heel.’
At a certain point, you just kind of flip and you think things are going to get hotter, but it has to be warranted.
I was feeling flat going into WrestleMania 17, because I’d been hot for so long and I’ve always liked to be the bad guy anyway. So, that’s why I wanted to turn into the bad guy, so I could have fun. But, people didn’t like it.”
