I always saw X-Pac heat as not a negative reaction towards a heel, but rather negative towards someone you just don't want to see. I never had anything against X-Pac myself. I thought he was a fairly solid worker who got saddled with a pretty cruel term for no reason.
In WWE today, though, the clear winner is Brad Maddox. I don't dislike him because he's a well-established heel character, I just dislike him because he has the charisma of skin cancer and has no purpose on television. I don't want to see him made out to be a fool or get his come-uppance: I just want to see him leave.
