      The role of a heel is to get ‘heat,’ which means spurring the crowd to obstreperous hatred, and generally involves cheating and any other manner of socially unacceptable behavior.

      Obstreperous ob•strep•er•ous adjective noisy and difficult to control: the boy is cocky and obstreperous.

      TIL a new word, from wrestling of all things!
