Most face/heel heat garnered in a single night..

[MGH]

The heat Cena got at ONS was amazing, but I think it is rivaled if not less than the amount of crowd hate that he got at NYR 06. I think he got more heat at NYR than he did at Mania.

[Count Creepyhead]

Hands down, Hogan's 10 min plus standing ovation, or when he hulked up at WM 18. Probably the biggest pops of all time.

Heel heat..please. Hogan's heel turn. first time EVER in the modern wrestling era people littered the ring like that. That was REAL heat folks.

Top Heel Heat

Shawn Michaels in August 2005. He even had me thinking Bret had showed up!
Bash at the Beach '96. nuff said.

I may not be able to stand HBK, but damn it if that night I didn't nearly cream my pants when Bret's music played on the P.A system on that Raw. Man alive the heel heat was sick.

But the top heel heat of all time has to go to BATB 96, that came out of nowhere and it's pretty damn hard to recreate something like that, especially in this Internet-dominated world we live in.

Big Show's title win over RVD last year had super heat as well, I never thought I'd see people litter a WWECW ring like that.

Lita at MSG in March or April 2005.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Here's one for Face Heat.

On the SmackDown immediately following 9/11, Kurt Angle was in the main event draped in the American flag. I would have to say this is probably the only instance I have ever seen where 100% of the audience was behind him.

austin at wmx7 shocked the fans.

Triple H's eventual return after his first quad tear was thunderous.

And while it doesn't quite rival many of the already mentioned reactions, people cheered and cheered LOUDLY when Scott Steiner made his WWE debut.

Top face heat: Probably HHH on his return, or Austin when his music hit the night Mick Foley won the title for the first time.

Top heel heat: John Cena (either: RAW first blood match, NYR, SNME, Wrestlemania, ONS 2 or Unforgiven), also Jeff Jarrett at last year's Slammiversary.

Seem to remember the build up for Summerslam 99, when they were determining the main event for Austins' title.

May not be much of a heel/face event, but Triple H, Mankind and strangely enough, Chyna were in the running for a no.1 contender spot.

They all faced each other throughout the night, and eventually, ended up having an undisputed match, between HHH and Mankind.

The both got a fall, and it resulted in a Triple Threat at Summerslam, Mankind winning the title.

when triple h returned from his first quad injury, he got some amazing face pops.

Not really, as I remember the crowd popped huge for the win over the Rock, even with the help of McMahon. Plus, it was in his home state of Texas, so I doubt he would've gotten booed anyways.

[Nickie James]

For a diva, face heat would go to Lita's return on RAW after her neck injury.

[nerdinitupagain]

Face: Tommy Dreamer beating Raven for the biggest face pop. A storyline of such a long time finally culminating/Raven returning to beat the Dudleyz for the Tag Titles
Heel: Lawler going off on the ECW fans right after Dreamer beat Raven/Dudleyz when they won the ECW Tag Titles right before going to the WWF.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

IMO, if you dont think Hogan's 2002 return vs Rock and his following RAW appearences after turning face with 10 MINUTE STANDING OVATIONS are the top face reaction, your kidding yourselves. Brother.

[jobberknocker]

Face heat: Austins return at Backlash 2001, taking out hhh, vince etc witha chair, huge reaction to that.

Heel heat: John cena at ONS2.
