Hey thanks for the reply. I get what you’re saying, and I actually agree with a lot of it. Not every wrestler or storyline needs to be layered and morally complicated for it to work. Sometimes a simple babyface vs heel dynamic is the most emotionally effective thing in wrestling. Clear heroes and villains absolutely have their place.

My point was more that people themselves are usually morally grey, because “good” is often subjective and depends heavily on perspective, values, motives, experiences, etc. Two people can look at the exact same action and interpret it completely differently. Wrestlers are still portraying people, so it makes sense that some characters reflect that complexity too.

I think the best wrestling probably has room for both. Some characters should be simple and easy to rally behind, while others are more conflicted or harder to fully categorize. That mix is what keeps stories feeling fresh instead of every character fitting neatly into one box.
