I think a worker getting heat is very hard to judge, and its even harder to find out what that heat is directed that. For example:

Ted Debiasse - The man got massive heat...and boy did I used to hate him. And yet, you also loved him. If he wasnt on the show, you would boo even more than when he was because you had so much bad feeling towards him.
On the other hand

A-train: He may get heat, but its because ppl dont like him, as opposed to ppl not liking his character.

So my question is this, of the workers who get heat, what kind of heat is it:

Eric Bischoff: I'm inclinedto think ppl hate him, therefore, i think he does a good job.
JBL: I'd say a mixture of ppl hating him, and ppl also hating the push he has recieved.
Booker T: ppl hate him because of the feelings he has towards smackdown. but we all still love the book
Triple H: Does he even get heat anymore?
Y2J: Used to get sufficient heat because ppl hated him (as a heel)
Orton: PPl are getting sick of him, yet we still dislike him because he's so arrogant.
any other names and comments?


- Further to this, i think ppl get less heat now than b4. I remember watching royal rumble '94, and the heat Bam bam and Owen hart were getting was awesome. BUT!, ppl who watched wrestling then were younger. as ppl get older, they boo less, and i think the age of wrestling fans is definatly growing.

Okay, I know I have heard the different kinds of heat loosely defined as 'Cheap Heat' from comments against the town in which a show is being held. 'Syxx-Pac Heat' as in a worker being despised purely because of who they are rather than any gimmick they are playing, and good heat that is achieved by a worker playing a heel effectively. I think some good examples of the types of heat have been raised LOADS of times before, and I would hate for anyone to think I am claiming that the following is an original idea:

Cheap Heat: La Resistance/JBL
Syxx Pac Heat : A-Train, JBL, HHH (To some extent)
Good Heat: Ric Flair.

Yeah I would agree with this. Dibeasse also got the good kind of heat. People just hated the character.

Test, A-Train, JBL, Bashams, most of smackdown heels, all get x-pac heat.

Wouldnt completely agree with JBL to be honest.
there is a certain amount of Xpac heat.
However, there is also alot of resentment towards his character
