Wrestling rambling, putting it below the cut for heavy subject matter
I think a heel going up on the mic to use a real actual persons struggles with addiction as a way to gain heat just. Sucks actually. I think the key to doing a good script for heel shit is knowing where the line is and walking up to it, but not over it, and any time they have somebody just stride over it like that it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like, man. Can you imagine having something Bad going on in your life and having your boss put that into a show in front of thousands of people. That just. Blows. That can't be good for anyone. And it's not a new nor unprecedented thing this just is part of a Thing in wrestling and i hate it tbh; wrestlers are performers, they are human beings with real lives. I would much prefer if actual real genuine struggles that can severely impact people's lives weren't utilised to gain heat, you can gain it w/o doing that, it just feels like a cheap and dirty shot and not in a fun in-kayfabe way, in a 'man this isn't fun' way. Wrestling is a performance, i wanna watch a good show, i want a good script and great performances, not scripts that are just taking cheap and nasty low blows just to get a reaction; man, get a reaction with a good performance. Make me believe in a heel instead of resorting to That. Everyone is better than that!! You can do better!!
