It would be nice if a couple of heels that are full time wrestlers would be booked the way "heel" HHH is being booked currently, but not ALL heels should be booked like this. "Chickenshit" heels and "smart" heels have their places as well.

If ALL heels were booked like HHH is being currently, then it would make ALL the faces look weak most of the time and that's not a good thing either. There needs to be balance.

pretty easy to be the heel who takes no shit when you never wrestle

the only reason this works with triple h is he put in the work in the past so he's credible

any other heel coming out doing this never wrestling and it would stink

It's common knowledge that if you want a more succesful wrestling angle (or story in general) you need to make the heel the more powerful guy for a significant part of the thing so as to make the comeback and eventual victory actually satisfying to an audience. However, the prototypical "super" babyface in the vein of Cena (but started long before him) has also been traditionally successful too, so it's a case of the rules of narrative butting heads with the rules of booking. I think that WWE will start leaning more towards the former in times to come though.

No one's starting a comparison thread. OP is making the very valid point that it would be a lot better if the heels had actual power in their feuds instead of being the typical tail-between-legs that they are 90% of the time. Look at what happened when they gave Barrett that sort of dominance. If they had closed the chapter on him properly, and actually let him rid WWE of Cena (temporarily, of course, but not the fake "I bought a ticket so my face is still here every week" thing) then he would in all likelihood still be a top guy today.

There is only one man on the current roster who can pull off a heel run to the caliber of Triple H. His name is Dean Ambrose. Yeah I said it. You know why? Because it's the truth. Believe it.

Well triple h has a pretty big hand in booking, so he can book himself the right way, he should be able to do it for others.
In saying that, less and less heels are booked cowardly. Right now I can only think of NAO (to an extent) and Orton,

He seems too goofy to be a heel

While he's apart of a 3-man unit that was built to eventually build a big time babyface in Roman Reigns, he's going to be somewhat shackled and restricted in what he can and cannot do. Once that leash is cut and he's given the opportunity to go full blown heel on someone, he will exceed expectations of his doubters. He is a villain at heart.

The problem with this is ever since the Attitude Era these particular heels get cheered.

True. But usually when they attack or screw over someone who is actually beloved by the majority of the crowd (Daniel Bryan), it works to establish the guy as a villain. It especially works when said heel beats up someone who is relatively helpless. Remember when Triple H had his way with Jim Ross?

Newsflash Heel HHH ran away ALOT of times. People have short term memory.
