I totally disagree on the HBK thing.
HBK should be a heel,its something I have always felt,but because he has been a face for so long,it was always gonna be hard to turn him & have it accepted by the fans.
The best & only way to do that was have him blindside Hogan.
One thing wrestling needs is heels & faces,just like superhero comics need heroes & villains.
Yes,I agree Jericho should be a tweener,kinda like Stone Cold,but you still need those guys who are 100% face or 100% heel.
At this moment in time HBK had grown incredibly stale & boring as a character,and the way I see it is he had to turn heel.
WWE actually did this in the best way possible.
The only thing I take issue with in this angle is why would Piper defend Hogan?
One thing you have to realise is that WWE does need to decide who is & isnt heels/faces because thats the way to keep characters from going stale.
Just about every character has swapped from one side to the other,at some point in their career,and this is usually when either they have become stale in their current role,or to even up the balance of heels & faces.
It doesnt always work,but quite often it does.
Ultimately the fans decide who they accept in what role.
Y2J,for instance,has rarely been accepted by the fans as a heel.
Eddie Guerrero was not accepted as a heel when he beat up Tajiri,as nobody gives a shit about him,but when he turned on Rey (who people do give a shit about),the fans turned on Eddie.
This alone proves that the decision to have HBK turn on Hogan,was the right idea!
