I mean, with the teased superkick on Cena last night and everything, it looks to me that he's becoming at least a tweener, a bit like Stone Cold in the old days. In your honest opinion, what do you think?

No this is just HBK, you might remember him before the McMahon fued and the DX crap.

This is how HBK use to be before his crachter got messed up since he came back in 2002. HBK use to not care about shit and just be "The Showstopper" and think for himself. This is HBK from 1994-1998 when he was awesome! People forget who cool he was back than.

I've been a huge HBK fan since I was a kid, and ever since he came back he's been my favorite WWE wrestler. But I gotta admit that after he lost the title at armageddon and got obscenely kid friendly, it's been a bit of a strain to keep cheering for him. Maybe now they'll take him back to the way he was in the old days (see avatar for more) and finally get a good story line goin around the title.

I hope so, but I doubt he will...
And you know WWE aren't stupid enough to book Cena v HBK at WrestleMania... Heel or face, Michaels is gonna out-pop Cena. And since it took one year of hard work to get the crowd back on Cena's side, they won't waste the effort...
So I expect a more "motivated" but still face HBK to "help" Cena against Rated RKO (if Cena doesn't face Taker)

The Deadman would kill any chance of Cena being cheered. Just listening to that reaction last night, people are clamoring for him to win a title.

True if he faced Undertaker one on one it wouldn't hut Cena at all since Undertaker is impossible to boo and people are in awe of him so it wouldn't effect Cena babyface status. He still has to lose to Taker because if he would defeat him his babyface gimmick would be crushed and he would be unholy booed again.
If he faced HBK people would go nuts! For that reason it can't happen. Although I don't get the rumoured HBK-Booker match though.

I feel that WWE's obsession over only booking faces vs. heels hurts them in the long run. it really limits the number of matches we can see, which is evident on every RAW when we see Carlito vs. Nitro for the 157th time. I miss the days when two guys just wanted the title and just scrapped for it(i.e. Austin/Rock feud).

I'd love to see HBK as a heel vs. Cena, but that'll never happen. I still predict that a 4-way with Edge vs. Orton vs. Cena vs. HBK will happen at Mania.

After the showdown on Sunday night, I'm wondering if HBK takes the title off Cena before Mania, and we're treated (and I do mean that) to HBK vs. 'Taker for the gold at Mania...?

I doubt they'd do anything like that, you're not going to see any big title changes between now and Mania, especially with Cena, no way.
The only title I see Cena losing is the tag belts, that's all.

Surprised no one has said it:
WWE Title match for WrestleMania: Cena vs. HBK vs. Orton vs. Edge.
Cena doesn't get outshined, because there's two heels and two faces. Cena can pin one of the heels (Edge, likely) and HBK doesn't lose luster.

I doubt HBK will turn heel, not fully anyway.

Didn't stop them from booking Hogan vs Rock IN CANADA where even attempted manslaughter the week before didn't stop popping for the hulkster.. Just as the crowd response in that match turned hogan heel-to-face in record time,HBK vs Cena could have the reverse effect,turning Cena heel...but unfortuantely,thier is still money to be squeezed from selling spinning belt merch,but wishfull thinking nonetheless.

One could dream.
Heel HBK would still get a bigger pop than face Cena.

What I want to happen: Cena loses to HBK some time before Mania. Taker decides to challenge for the WWE title which Shawn now has, at Mania. And it will be...
HELL IN A CELL!!
What will happen: Taker chooses to go for the WHC, Batista beats him clean at Mania, everyone in Detroit riots, then goes home and WWE ratigns drop by a large degree.
