I think the Murdoch-Dibiase double turn is probably the greatest of all time. I think this one may have had the strongest reprecussions on the business though.
Honestly I found this underwhelming at best. The crowd too didn't seem that psyched. I watched the Buddy Rose face turn recently and that was done a lot better and got a much bigger reaction.
Obviously this is of epic importance to wrestling history but as a moment. meh, it's really not that great.
Best line was calling Gary Hart (who seems unwilling to take a bump even before the crash) a semi professional wino from Chicago.
How popular was Dusty with the fans before his face turn? Was he already in the process of becoming popular or did the turn do it?
Eddie Graham positioned Dusty so that the fans wanted to cheer him. My memory is fuzzy, but I believe it was the match with Jack Brisco that really kicked things into high gear. Going toe to toe with the Golden Boy heavyweight champ on tv earned the fans' respect, and of course Dusty just oozed charisma. Having Big Dust in a typical Gary Hart stable, filled with nefarious foreign heels didn't hurt either as it was a "one of these things is not like the others" situation.

I agree,probably against the views of most people. It was good but not great. The crowd wasn't that into it. It's far from the best ever in my opinion. It's historical for sure,but that's about it.
