I agree that long-term you want people to pay money to see your heel beaten, but I don't think that having a heel, in the short-term, be cheered is necessarily a bad thing. You want people to buy merchandise and get into matches too. Cesaro is one of the few who can pull off being a bad guy, but being such a good wrestler that some people will cheer him and buy the t-shirt. He'd be the guy on the outside, the guy that the good guys respect (even if they don't like him) and that the fans want to see embrace his potential hero nature, but doesn't, because it's just so much fun being nasty and violent.

It'd be part of Cesaro's character. I thought that was the route they were going to go with his alignment with Paul Heyman. Yes, Heyman has some catchphrases and we all respect his contributions to the industry -- but he's the slimiest of slime-balls in kayfabe. Cesaro would have been the prize-fighter who just wanted to get in there, but Heyman would have been the one holding him back and reminding him that he doesn't fight for free. This would have all led to Cesaro eventually leaving Heyman's camp and going against Lesnar or something (providing Lesnar stuck around post-WrestleMania).
