X-Pac heat

[Vastardikai]

"X-Pac heat" is the type of heat generated towards someone who is disliked but it's not cool to dislike.

Ironically, named after someone who, if the internet was created 10 years prior, would have cause the IWC to masturbate due to his "workrate."

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.
