| Heat |
|
(noun) Feedback from the crowd. A heel wrestler will try to get heat from the crowd by doing things to get them angry, such as cheating. If the heel has a lot of heat with the crowd, he is doing his job. If a heel is drawing face heat, then he will usually be made into a babyface to sustain that heat (e.g. The Undertaker in 1992). Rocky Maivia (before he became "The Rock") is the best example of the opposite: a babyface drawing heel heat ('Rocky Sucks!', 'Die Rocky, Die!').
