oh I hear what you're saying but there are always going to be smaller guys who can do the coward stuff better/get a better reaction because they build to the point where people want to see them get killed because they're small cowards. Heel or not, booing or cheering, people want to see a big guy kill things. A big guy cowering from people, especially guys that small, is probably just going to get a mixed reaction. Wrestling is really really simple. And the babyface won't need anymore sympathy if he bumps like a trooper for your shit and doesn't "die"/shows out whilst doing. As for the corner thing during the entrance, I know what you were going for with the arrogant/not taking the other guy seriously gimmick. Like 90% of indy heels do the exact same schtick, you see it on every single show

And absolutely it's trial and error but I almost guarantee that if you just go full on killer/big man and work on polishing that act, you'll get a better reaction. Because at some point you're probably going to work a show with a smaller guy doing the same type character/gimmick and he'll get a better reaction than you simply because it makes more sense. Whereas he'll never be able to go out and be 6'4 or whatever and powerbomb somebody and have the audience believing you may have just actually killed somebody and so forth.
