Here is the boot camp match against Iron Sheik.

That would be overwhelmingly cheered by the audience, or laughed at if they were mocked. Trannies are not popular with the public. Even gay shit still gets booed in the normiesphere. It takes non-stop propaganda to even partially counteract the natural reaction to gay men and trannies, which is disgust.
America is just too divided today for any heel to get massive heat.
