Alright, let’s talk about keeping track of these WWE heel turns in 2024. People sometimes ask me how I follow this stuff, thinking I’ve got some complex system. Nah, it’s way simpler than that. Mostly, I just make sure I’m parked on my couch for Raw and SmackDown every week. And the big events, the PLEs? Definitely watch those too. It kinda became a habit over the years.
So, how did I actually go about “tracking” this year’s turns? It wasn’t like I started January 1st with a checklist, you know? It’s more organic. I’d be watching a match or a promo, and suddenly a wrestler starts doing stuff that makes you raise an eyebrow. Maybe they hesitate to help their partner, or they give someone that nasty side-eye. Little things like that.
My process is pretty low-tech. Usually, it starts with a feeling. That “Hmm, something’s up with this guy” thought. If it keeps happening over a few weeks, maybe they start talking differently, blaming others, getting booed when they shouldn’t be… then I really pay attention. Sometimes, if I’m feeling particularly invested, I might scribble a name on a sticky note – like “Watch out for [Wrestler’s Name]” – just to see if my gut feeling pays off. It’s more for my own amusement than anything serious. I look for the subtle shifts backstage, the arguments caught on camera, the “accidental” bumps in tag matches. Then usually, inevitably, comes the big moment – the attack, the walk-out, the classic betrayal. That’s when you know for sure.
My Takeaways from 2024’s Turns
Looking back at the year so far, here’s what kinda stood out to me:
- Some Real Shockers: Gotta admit, a couple of turns completely blindsided me. Didn’t see ’em coming at all, which is always fun. Keeps you on your toes.
- The Slow Burners: Then you had the ones you could see brewing for ages. Weeks, sometimes months, of hints and teases. When those finally happen, it feels earned, like finishing a long chapter in a book.
- Tag Team Troubles: Seems like breaking up tag teams is still a go-to move. Jealousy, wanting the spotlight alone… it always gets a reaction. Saw a fair bit of that again.
- A Few Duds?: Honestly, not every turn felt perfect. Some felt a bit rushed, or the storyline reason didn’t quite click for me. But that happens, right? Can’t all be winners.
- Keeping it Fresh: Overall though, the turns definitely helped shake things up. Moved people around, created new rivalries. You need those shifts to stop things getting stale.
So yeah, that’s basically my “method”. No spreadsheets, no algorithms. Just watching the shows, paying attention to the characters and the stories, and enjoying the ride when someone decides to go bad. It’s all part of the fun of being a wrestling fan, trying to figure out who’s gonna snap next. Definitely keeps me tuning in.
