It seems that every decade or so, pro wrestling experiences a renaissance of popularity. I enjoyed it back in the 80s with the likes of Jesse Ventura, Magnificant Muracco, Roddy Piper, Andre the Giant, Macho Man Savage, Bobby Hennan, and Hulk Hogan. I obviously knew it to be completely fake and staged but I enjoyed the personalities of wrestlers, managers and the announcers. My favorites were the "heels" or bad guys since I found their unapologetic willingness to cheat, lie, play dirty, brag, insult, etc hilarious.

The best heels these days are the ones who can speak the uncomfortable truths that paint babyfaces in a bad light.
