I'd argue that he simply was the more over and respected wrestler due to being a bigger and true superstar. Was he a bad heel against Daniel Bryan? Mick Foley? Dean Ambrose? The Shield? Batista? Vince McMahon (1999)? Ric Flair? HBK? Undertaker? Should I keep mentioning his cornucopia of epic feuds?

At some point, it is the responsibility of the babyface to actually be over in order for the heel to get heat. When they cheer you getting bludgeoned with a sledgehammer, you are a very ineffective babyface.
