Who is the face here? Doesn't HBK come off being the face, because he is honest. Won't the fans see that and cheer him on instead? Is that what the WWE wants? What do you all think

No..I would have to say Hogan is the face...and HBK the heel. 10-1 says HBK is gonna job to Hogan. I just hope HBK can carry the delapidated X superstar through this match. HBK is the ShowStoppa...but can even he make Hogan look good?
Smart thing to do...depending on how the crowd is reacting leading up to the PPV. If HBK is getting more face appeal than Hogan...Have him remain the Face and have Hogan come out in his old NWO black and whites with perhaps an appearance of Hall and Nash with him. Have them beat down HBK. Hogan still gets the win and HBK will be elevated to a higher face level.
Did you see the promo on Raw mocking the Larry King appearance? GOD I almost wet myself!

That was an hilarious promo brotha. I really enjoyed it brotha. It had me poppin brotha. But I felt it made HBK the rebel face brotha. Everyone seems to be seeing HBK as the face here brotha even though Hogan is publicized that way on television brotha. This might be the first time since Hogan returns that he will have to improvise brotha and play the heel in the match depending on the fan reaction brotha. Brotha Brotha Brotha Brotha

Oh Brotha!
Enough with the brotha before I have to Layeth The Smacketh Down on you two brothas!
Do you get me, brotha?
Well, let me tell you something, brotha! The Hulkster is the face here, brotha and that backstabbing little weasel HBK brotha is the heel here brotha. After the Montreal Survivor Series, brotha, HBK will always be the heel, brotha, when there are two Faces brotha. Hulk in this stage of his career, brotha, would never be willing to be the heel, brotha, unless it's to a younger talent like Cena, brotha!
So what'cha gonna do, brotha, when the Hulkster turns heel on you, brotha?

Oh and by the way...speaking of WWE past their prime superstars.....Just what have they been feeding Tatanka on that reservation! LOL Probably the same stuff they've been feeding Road Warrior Animal. Anyway, I think that HBK only really comes across as a face to the smarks and hardcore fans. As far as the casual fans are concerned, he's simply being an arrogant prick, and the things that he says about Hogan are supposed to be taken with a grain of salt. Sure, a portion of them will cheer for him anyway, but that probably has more to do with them liking him in general than his current character. So the way it looks now, I'd say that HBK is still the heel and Hogan is still the face...but then again, if HBK continues cutting quality promos like he has in recent weeks, who knows?

Watching them work up to this match for SummerSlam I'd bet dollar to donuts that it ends a draw. Neither EGO will allow a loss in this one.

True, but Hogan would but the one most likely to do the job between the two of them if there was to be one. Gee, since Earl is gone....How much you want to bet his kid comes out to do the job?

So, what did you guys think of the match and then the sudden babyface turn of HBK and his reaction to the match the following night?

I was pleasantly surprised by the match. Granted, it wasn't a ****+ classic, but it was still pretty good under the circumstances. Considering Hogan's limited mobility, as well as the fact that he and Michaels hadn't worked together in the past, the match was better than I thought it would be. Regarding Shawn's face turn, that was also somewhat unexpected, especially since his character has been so arrogant as of late. It's become fairly common to do the whole "respectful handshake" thing after matches against veterans, particularly Hogan, but HBK's recent behavior led me to believe that it wouldn't happen this time. The sarcasm at the beginning of his promo the next night on Raw was a bit confusing at first, but it made sense afterwards. On one hand, he was essentially admitting to laying down for Hogan, in the same manner as the other worked shoot promos he's been cutting as of late. On the other hand, he was continuing to act like a prick so that he could be a tweener as opposed to a full-fledged face or heel. Sure, having him feud with Chris Masters seems like a natural way to turn him face again, but Shawn's attitude means that the fans will have to decide for themselves whether to cheer or boo him. In other words, he can be a face without really acting like one, much like Austin, the Rock, Eddie Guerrero, etc. Anyway, I've enjoyed what's been going on with HBK. I admittedly haven't been a major fan of his in recent years (although that's largely due to my fondness for Bret Hart), but he has definitely been earning my respect lately. And if he can actually get Masters over...well, then he could be viewed as a miracle worker.
