I have always enjoyed watching HBK in the ring, but I cannot root for him - he's the kind of wrestler who is easier to root against. It's part of his personality and wrestling character that make things this way. What I don't understand is why he was turned into a good guy in late 1995 - I know he was beaten up in a bar in real life, but he became stale about a month through his title reign a year later.
HBK should have turned on his manager after the Iron Man match. He should have told Jose that his services were no longer necessary and then kicked him through a glass window, just like he did to Marty. Or, he could have lost the Iron Man match and blamed it on Jose, and then kicked him.
By the way, I just watched HBK's two matches against Sid, so that's why I'm posting about this. Also, did anyone find it funny when Jose got hit with the camera?

HBK as a heel is classic. He can play a good face, but I'll always prefer heel HBK.

he used to be a natural heel, but now he's in flair zone. Can't be a heel unless he goes after Hogan

He does his best as a tweener. When he's just Shawn Michaels out for Shawn Michaels. He played the tweener going into WrestleMania XX, since Benoit was the clear-cut face, and it was the best he'd been in quite some time.

HBK plays the obnoxious ego maniac character so well it's almost as if he's one in real life.
Oh wait, he is.
So yes, better as a heel.

It's kinda like Mick Foley said about being a good heel, in that you need to believe what you're doing is the right thing, so Shawn Michaels would need to have the right storyline to turn heel. His heel work with Hulk Hogan is a perfect example, because HBK could say what he felt was true.
Otherwise, I think he's better off as a babyface when he's not really important to the story of the show, and just kinda there for the fans to cheer another recognizable name/face.
[Wow, I'm such a huge HBK mark (he's been my #1 favorite since 1988) and I don't really think I came off that way. Hence the reason for me to include it down here.]

He was an amazing heel in the beginning of DX. Damn he was good. Definately one of the important aspects of the popularity of Stone Cold. As a Stone Cold-hater Shawn even had me rooting for Austin.

Heel, no doubt. I loved the episode of Raw last year a week or two before Summerslam 05' where he teased a Bret Hart return. Shawn was without a doubt at his best from 1996 to 1998, especially with the ORIGINAL (not "born again") DX. Alot of his heel performances from that time step all over anything he's done lately

Shawn comes off as insincere when he's a babyface. He's much better as a heel.

HBK is more entertaining as a heel.

I was always partial to the late 95-early 95 heel HBK.

These days Shawn is a lot better as a heel. He's too phony now as a face.
