5 Heels who got some massive pops

We just can’t forget the Summer of Punk!There isn’t an easier definition of a heel and babyface except the fact that the babyface being the face of all things virtuous is the fan favorite and supposed to be the one getting all the cheers; while a heel gets the boos. But throughout WWE’s history, there have been heels who were just too interesting, who just about managed to get the crowds happy because of them being present.Over the last two decades with the rising emergence of backstage workings of the business, fans got more than a touch of a wrestler’s life outside of kayfabe, that more or less affected their opinion of a particular superstar which may also be the reason for a positive reaction.Or maybe it’s all about how darn entertaining a performer he or she can be, by being someone who brings the level of the show up by a few notches with their presence.Here are the top 5 heels who got some massive pops.

#5 Triple H

Technically, after this particular night under discussion, Triple H became a babyface. The Game was the premier heel in the promotion before a legit career threatening injury sidetracked him for more than 8 months. So, when Triple H did return he got a hero’s welcome.

Not because the audience had forgotten all that he did before his absence, not because they had forgotten that he was still the boss’ son in law, that he was still Stephanie McMahon’s husband; no. They welcomed him in all this glory because he was just that darn good as a heel and his work was terribly missed.

Before this return, WWE had aired inspirational videos of his recovery. But Triple H himself mentioned that he was apprehensive to return to no ovation, to crickets actually. But the New York crowd erupted after his music hit the arena and it still is regarded as one of the biggest pops ever witnessed in pro-wrestling history.
