I guess Rocky was all about "cheap heat" back in the day, why would that change?
Well what other way would you garner heat/pops that isn't ...

1. playing to the crowd?
2. talking trash to your opponent/enemy/etc?
3. Dropping your catchphrases?

I take "cheap heat" as when someone drops an f-bomb just for shock value, or whatever. Thats how Shawn Michaels refers to it and he's one of the best promo guys ever

It's more specifically the first point. The whole "...has come back..." is cheap. As are the sing-along catchphrases I guess.

Plenty of people have cut incredible promos without resorting to those tactics. Dunno, I always took issue with The Rock's "by the numbers" promos. Never really "did it" for me.
