Update: I still love wrestling
HEEL: I've lived in Philly for 13 years.... and I hate it here
ME: [politely] boo
HEEL: I don't actually live in Philly, I live on the Mainline
ME: lol respect to you sir, a classic heel move
HEEL: [to face] And maybe we used to be best friends, but--
ME: DIEEEE
Guy standing next to me: why am I so invested in this match?
Me: The magic of wrestling!!
(I enjoyed the ROH show last night so much that I went to see free wrestling in South Street today and it was delightful)
Favorite wrestling feud tropes:
3. The face is the only opponent the heel actually respects and/or fears
2. The heel is desperate to drag the face down to their level
1. They used to be best friends (probably closer than brothers? IJS)
(Not mutually exclusive obviously)
