Listened to the most recent Steve Austin podcast w/Paul Heyman, which I quite enjoyed. One thing they talk about is how WWF/WWE was (and still is) a babyface territory, and NWA was a heel territory.

The difference between coming to see the hero win and coming to see the hero struggle is a pretty good one to keep in mind when booking your WWWRPG matches, I think!

  1. For sure!

    A lot of people who pay way too much attention to wrestling (like me) talk about how the chase is more engaging than the destination.

    the Hogan (and now Cena) model is more about the destination, being that top babyface guy and staying there.

    the Flair model is more about the journey – what will it take to beat that final bad guy? how will the hero keep it when the odds are stacked against him? This was the Daniel Bryan story last year, too, which (I think) is one reason it was so great.
