Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

The vast majority of people that I know don't hate him because he's a heel, they hated him when he was with his dad too...they literally just want him to go away.

Nah. He has go away heat at first, but now it's legit heat.

Should have changed his name to Dominik Guerrero.

:-) That actually would've been fantastic. Comes out to the Guerrero theme at Mania and demands to be announced as Dominik Guerrero.

I think WBD could get MJF started with something involving HBO.

I've never understood the Term "Go away heat"

If youre getting heat you're getting heat. He's getting massive reactions and has been for a while. The only true "go away heat" imo is if the crowd is just apathetic.

It matters if no one gives a shit about you and they boo just because they want you to "go away"

There's a difference in someone wanting to see you lose and someone turning the channel.

I accidentally downvoted this and I didn't mean to.

But how can you really quantify that? If someone is getting boos they are getting boos. And we don't have the minute by minute ratings to see if they turning away.

If no-one gives a shit they should respond by not giving a shit. Either no response or chanting unrelated shit. Booing would give the complete opposite result of what they want.

If you're a face and getting booed you're teetering on the edge of go away heat

This is basically a study of Xpac, that dude had go away heat for years.
[Reply]

XPac was special.

Between the old worn out gimmick, the lack of effort he gave, the terrible storylines and the product placement shit he would do.

Only thing I've seen close to it was John Cena at the ECW pape and earlier era Roman Reigns.

Meh, every single top superstar barring Stone Cold had some form of go away heat at one point in time. It's the byproduct of being so overexposed

Stone Colds run didn't even last that long, it was just in the hottest period ever. Most guys overstay their welcome.

Right. He also got to work consistently with the best heel of all time over that relatively short time.

Dominik as the scummy and cringe pretend hardass is heel and comedic gold. Judgement Day is best when it sorta leans into the edgelord cringe.
