WWE: 6 Reasons Shawn Michaels Vs The Rock Is The Best Feud Never Seen

4. The Crowd Reaction

If Shawn Michaels and The Rock were to have a feud, who would be the babyface and who would be the heel? The truth is, it's not up to WWE, nor is it up to the competitors €“ It's solely up to the WWE Universe. Just like when Madison Square Garden booed a babyface HBK when he took on Sycho Sid, or when the crowd favored the evil Hollywood Hogan over The Rock at WrestleMania XVIII, WWE's best-laid plans would be thrown out the window when the fans have their say €“ and with two personalities this electrifying, the one guarantee is that every member of the audience would have an opinion and voice it loudly. Also, the venue may make a difference. In Montreal or Miami, the crowd may favor The Rock. In San Antonio, HBK may be the hometown favorite. Heck, in Toronto, both guys could get booed out of the building €“ but as long as there's a reaction and fans plunk down their cash, WWE would be in good shape.
