Do we really even need “heels and faces” that much in wrestling though?

As long as everyone can put on great matches, is “that” aspect really that important?

I say this as a person recently into NJPW.

A lot of their guys or even factions don’t really seem to be straight up “clear cut heels” themselves and it works.

When Okada is going up against Tanahashi/Naito/Sanada/Ishii.

None of them to me seem like heels just 2 bad asses colliding.

And they did say they want this to be more sports based, well in sports. You root for who you root for but there really are no heels and faces

Not really. I think it was probably Cody saying they weren't going to do the traditional face/heel thing and everyone could be who they are and fans could cheer or boo who they want. Certain characters and angles work better with clearly defined roles but I don't think they (or any company) need to stick so hard to those. Which isn't the same thing as TWEENERS, BRO Russo shyt. Two good guys can have a conflict. Two bad guys can have a conflict. Two bad guys where the fans like one a little more than the other can have a conflict. Two good guys where the fans like one a little more than the other can have a conflict.

Yo, Renee gives no fukks out here :dead:

Trying to get herself fired so they can go on that Sid and Nancy World Tour :whoo:

It's weird how hateable motherfukkers be getting the biggest pops of the night which is why I tip my hat to MJF for somehow managing to get all the heat on himself

Court Bauer said in an interview that Cornette has taken MJF and Salina under his wing in MLW. They're learning old skool heel shyt from him.

Salina has gotten damn good. I think she is working in the MLW office, so hopefully Court doesn't have to worry about losing her anytime soon.

Enzo Cass and Ryback as a three man heel faction could bring some fukkery being ex-WWE guys mad at Cody for "not looking out" and not giving them first contract offer's when he was putting AEW together

they could be both anti AEW and anti WWE looking at the rest of the AEW roster as a bunch of "little flippy geeks" they can easily run through and we know Enzo and Ryback would have no problems shytting Vince, HHH,

Anyone that thinks AEW will sign either of these 3 has not been following the foundation's of AEW

That's the thing though...the Bucks have already toned down a LOT over the past 2-3 years. Not that I've gone out of my way to see their matches, but what I have seen from them in the past 2 1/2 years or so (NJ/ROH/PWG) is significantly less crazy high spots and gimmicky wink wink stuff and more traditional straight forward tag matches. I don't even think the story they were running with the Bucks being rusty and maybe not on the same page was even necessary for that match, as that's pretty similar to how they've been working for the better part of 2 years now anyway.
I can't wait for the Bucks of The Youth turn to Old Bucks and be a dirty cheating scientific wrestlers for us Old Heads Wrestling Traditionalist
