If you were a wrestler would you rather be extremely hated like Cena but is getting a reaction albeit negative one or would you rather be a wrestler who people are apathetic to. You don't get booed but the crowd doesn't really cheer you either. During your match it's usually silent and people on forums would be like "That guy? Meh."
I would rather be booed, even as a face. Getting booed means the fans actually care about me in some way, no reaction means the crowd doesn't care enough to hate you.
Getting booed means you can turn heel successfully, no reaction means off to jobbing on Superstars for you.
I'd rather get booed out of the building than walk out there to no reaction, and I'd live it up, too! I'd get in the face of every guy who talks shit at me on the way to the ring, I'd ensure no child could pat me as I walk down the aisle etc.
The art of being a genuinely despicable, hate-able heel isn't about in the WWE right now (and yes, I know Vince has reportedly banned a lot of heel tactics).
Even if you're a top face like Cena and getting booed, people still care therefore you'll still bring in $$$. If there's no reaction, people aren't going to pay to see you and ultimately your stock won't be worth shit.
If I was a face and I was starting to get booed, then cool, I'll just turn my ass heel. Nothing worse is coming out to a crowd who doesn't give any shits about you. It's much better to evoke emotions than apathy.
I'd want to be a heel anyway, so I'd prefer boos. I just can't stand being a fake ass happy go lucky person. I have to do it at work and it causes a lot of built up tension. I need a release. If you don't get any reaction, then you're an uninteresting failure. That's never a good sign.
Getting nuclear heat would actually be kind of fun for awhile, especially if you troll the audience in the process. Eventually I'd want to be cheered though. It has to be one of the most intoxicating feelings on earth to have an entire stadium cheering or chanting for you.
I would rather be booed, because it would show that I got personality and could carry a feud. No reactions means people can't decide what you are and that is not a good sign, especially in a professional wrestling company.
