How many wrestlers (and details of who and when) have changed from face to heel or visa versa while holding a title?

Ok, the obvious first
Stone Cold during Wrestlemania 17 or X7 if you like to call it that.
but he won it that night so he didn't really change until after he won.
Macho Man before WM 5 he was a face and became a heel so Hogan could win again.
Bret Hart during the WM 12 phase when he turned into a crybaby.
Those were the really big ones. If you are talking about WWF titles. As for IC and stuff like that, most Champs stayed loyal to their side, it made for better champs. Even Tag Teams. Some teams became more popular. Like the Road Warriors. But that has more to do with the way they were, not a planned change.
One notable exception.
Demolition in the 1988 Survivor Series made the change to face when Mr. Fuji went with the Powers of Pain.
How is that???

Stone Cold (Invasion and Wrestlemania 17 shocking heel turn)
--WWE Champion
Chris Jericho(Vengeance 2002 proud heel)
--Undisputed Champion
John Cena(Wrestlemania 23 reluctant heel; turned face again)
--WWE Champion
Triple H(Raw USA Homecoming 2005; shortest heel turn)
--No, he wasn't champ, but you might find it interesting...
Shawn Michaels(Summerslam)
--Not champ either...okay, wait...
Okay! I give up, man!!

a number of human beings right here be responsive to me. Kjors, you be responsive to me. i'm in all hazard the main "previous-college" person right here. I bear in mind sitting with the aid of "innovations-set era" uncooked staring at my watch, thinking "are they even going to HAVE a adventure this night?" If i needed to visual show unit a sitcom or a comedy variety show, i might swap the channel. A humorous 3-minute promo each now after that's a solid concern. quarter-hour of The Rock making a music and doing his catchphrases then going without delay into yet another 10-15 minute comedy skit isn't. Hardcore adventure after hardcore adventure gets previous. extreme spot after extreme spot gets repetitious. Even the unique ECW (and Paul Heyman) knew this. They mixed a number of stunning wrestling into their shows. i do no longer desire yet another "innovations-set era"; i desire wrestling. i'm going to commerce each episode of "innovations-set era" uncooked one show each for Kurt attitude vs Chris Benoit, Bret Hart vs Owen Hart, Ric aptitude vs Ricky Steamboat, RVD vs Jerry Lynn, or The Von Erichs vs The Freebirds. humorous promos, a extreme spot now and then, a hardcore adventure sometimes; all of it is solid carefully. i do no longer want a slow weight-alleviation plan of it. i think of in the present day's followers do no longer likely understand professional wrestling. i think of they are needing an action action picture rather, the place something is often getting blown up. i'd desire to bypass off on Vince McMahon and state the excuses why he's to blame, yet i'm going to save this particularly short with what i've got already written.

Didn't Hulk Hogan also switch when he joined nWo? Wasn't he holding the Heavyweight Title at the time?

Don't ask me - I only follow association football, cricket, rugby league and rugby union. I think my dad used to follow wrestling when ITV showed World of Sport, which I think was in the 1980s.

whoever and whatever sells the most tickets, I've been watching this for longer than most of you have been born,off and on, the only thing that changes is the faces and the cameras angle.
