Yes, an HBK heel turn wouldn't be hard at all. I mean you'd still have Michaels fans, same goes with anyone really, but... He got heat when he superkicked Benoit to sign that contract on RAW. Then Benoit has been getting more and more over, and Benoit just went over Michaels with a submission in that Backlash match. Now if Michaels were to do something dick-headed, I'm sure the fans would have no problem booing him.
The reason I bring up Benoit getting more over, is because he is restoring an element to wrestling... Called making main-eventers tap out. We have been fed so many guys (Austin, Rock, Triple H, Michaels, etc...) that don't tap cleanly... I mean honestly, when is the last time you seen any of these guys lose a match to submission? Last time I saw Rock do it, he was a midcarder jobbing to Shamrock. Last time I saw Austin do it... Was... I can't even remember.
It's such a big deal now that fans are going to chant, "YOU TAPPED OUT," to anyone who does that's main event, basically because "no one taps out," and it pussifies them, in a way, in some peoples' eyes. It's an odd point, but Benoit's submission victories are going to get people behind him.
