Dark Match Winner
I have been a fan of Edge, Punk, Y2J, etc etc. I find that I'm drawn to the heels of the business, and hate the baby faces like Cena. Even in the past week I've started getting into Batista even though he was my number one most hated wrestler when he was face.
Now I've tried for a long time to understand why I do this. Back in the attitude era I loved SCSA and Mick Foley when they were faces so this is only the current generation that makes me flip flop.
I've come up with a theory rather than just saying "well you do it cuz your a smark". My theory is that I like the heels because they provide more of an edge reminiscent of late 90's wrestling. As a baby face in today's wrestling characters are dull and boring imo, but the heels can still flourish.
I go back to the Batista example in recent weeks, before when he was face he talked rather boring, never really went insane and generally was just there as a big guy. since his heel turn however he is gone on edge and has become interesting because it seems like he is a more developed character. This isn't just him, take a look at CM Punk as a face the guy had almost no character development, then he goes heel and boom.
Take a look at the opposite, MVP. As a heel this guy had great heat at times and got into promos w/ matt hardy. he turns face and bam he has no development anymore and turns bland and boring.
anyway thanks for reading and I would like feedback as to if this makes sense
