HHH can get cheered as a heel, John Cena can get booed as a face, the Rock when he was around could get booed as a heel. It's who has the clout and who has the boosters attached to their behind. If the Miz stops getting pushed it's because he got hit by the glass ceiling not because they were actually upset with him getting reactions from the crowd. I can't stand fucking knowitall marks.

Well... Gee... I suppose I know he was punished for being cheered in the same way we all know Vince was holding Xian back. And, for the second time now, nobody is disputing that WWE decides "for us" who's the good guy and the bad guy. But if they wanted the fans to bood Cena, they'd have turned him heel. Instead, they ignored it, just like the fans cheering for Xian before he left. Because -- and try to absorb this -- it wasn't what they wanted. I'm not sure why you're so angry and defensive about this, because I'm sure that we're in agreement that it's the WWE's decision. But saying that it's good that the Miz is being cheered as a heel is like saying it was good that Cena got booed as a face. It's not what they want, so they're not going to consider it good. Hell, even Morrison was stunted before teaming with Miz in the first place because he was a heel that was "too funny". When they don't like the reaction you get, they try to force it. It's just the way it is.
