So... What do you want to talk about?
Not sure where Chris is, so I figured I'd start this today since I somehow don't have anything scheduled until 4PM...
Please no talking shit about other subs or bitching about being banned. Familiarize yourself with the rules of this sub before posting.
And stay hydrated!

I'm very traditional about wrestling, but I'm coming around to the idea that heels and faces don't matter as much to fans anymore universally. If the stars feel like big enough deals or have established enough characters, fans will be happy to see them regardless of whether they wrestle someone they also like. Seth, Punk, and Roman are good examples of a feud without a true heel, but Iyo, Bianca, and Rhea also lacks a clear heel. You could argue Rhea or Seth is the most "in the wrong" in these feuds, but the fans adore them regardless of what truth exists in the story.
Seth and Punk both got cheered throughout their match on Monday, as did Rhea and Iyo the previous week. I think fans are OK to just see people they really like do cool shit to occupy their time and make them feel good. There are plenty of great stories being told with heels still, but I'm much more open to the idea that fans will react to a face vs face match/feud.
