       Word of the Day - Heat

       From Wikipedia:
       In professional wrestling, heat refers to both crowd reaction
       and real-life animosity between those involved in the
       professional wrestling business. In terms of crowd reaction,
       heat is usually either cheers for a babyface or boos for a heel.
       The amount of heat a wrestler generates is often an accurate
       gauge of his popularity.
       Although the term can in some contexts refer to either positive
       or negative crowd reactions, "heat" can otherwise be used
       specifically to mean a negative crowd response (booing etc.);
       its opposite being a "pop" or positive reaction (cheering etc.).
       Heat can also mean "to have heat" as in Jesse Sorenson has heat
       with Dixie Carter because she is mad with him (the most
       immediate example). There are many different kinds of heat and
       heat changes depending on where you are.
       Japanese heat has changed over the years. From the 40's to the
       70's Japanese fans who where then mostly male clapped politely
       at the end of the match or particularly exciting series of
       moves. With the birth of Hulkamania and more so with The Crush
       Girls, Japanese fans began to open up.
       White heat, or extreme heat rarely occurs in the modern
       wrestling world. Shane Douglas received White Heat during his
       ECW feud with The Pitbulls after breaking Gary Wolfe's neck and
       then taunting him over it throughout his recovery and eventually
       attacking him by shaking him by his supportive halo. The
       Dudley's received whit heat during their feud with Tommy Dreamer
       thanks to profanity laced promos usually accusing women in the
       audience of being morally lax. White Heat is virtually
       impossible to recreate in the modern era, partly due to the lack
       of kayfabe and partly due to PG nature of the product. Zeb
       Colter has become the first person in a long time to get
       anywhere near white heat in the last few years.
       X Pac Heat, named after the aforementioned X Pac has gone to
       wrestlers who are just hated, not because they are heel
       performers, but just thoroughly unlikeable characters and refers
       to X Pac's WWE Run upon his return from WCW.
