I understand that as fans, we're supposed to cheer the face and boo the heel. But I usually cheer the heel or whomever is most charismatic.

Who do you cheer/boo and why?

I personally don't cheer for any particular person. I cheer for a great move, a great chain wrestling sequence. I guess I rock it the Japanese style .

I guess we're sorta like that too but my wife has favourites (faces). If we rocked it Japanese wrestling style, we'd proably have to toss those stringy things into the ring at the beginning of every match too.

Its going to be funny next Saturday since Rush was a face at CSE and he will NOT BE CHEERED in his C4 angle. We'll probably yap back and forth with Steen though.

If fans actually dictated who was face and who was heel, it would kinda ruin the storylines.

Fans have a lot more say in that than people think. Rush will never be a true face in C*4 for some reason. I dunno, As for the "STRINGY THINGS" I forgot to put that in my IWS review but Twiggy gets the "STRINGY THING TREATMENT in the IWS. LOL. It was awesome. Wrestling needs the loud asnd boisterous people and the quiet people , they play off each other, I am sure the Japanese will apppreciate the respect and I am sure the North Americans will want the pop. It all goes hand in hand.

Twiggy?!?!??! Don't tell us he still uses the Bon Jovi and 80's gimmick there too? I'll say this....everyone wants to cheer the small underdog types and that's Twiggy to a tee. he even bows at the end of his matches to the fans. Kinda cool.

It'll all depend on my mood.  Sometimes, I'll just want to cheer for the heel just to mess around.

I cheer for the Hollywood Hunks regardless of whether they're heel or face.

Whenever we're at a card, they always talk with us. I cheer them face or heel too.

Do you feel though that you should cheer how you are lead to by the promoter, to advance their storyline of heels vs faces or do you think you as fans, we can alter the promoters storyline by the way we cheer. Who leads who: the promoter leads the fans or the fans lead the promoter?

I would say the answer to this is pretty simple - if the promoter wants to push a wrestler into any type of role, face or heel, it is the job of the promoter and the wrestler to make you believe, if they fail to do that job, it is up to them, not the fans, to adapt.

What did Vince do when the fans began to cheer for Stone Cold? He adapted - made Stone Cold the face and The Hitman the heel.

I don't know if the promoter leads the fans or the fans lead the promoter. All I know is I think we (Drunk Tank) turned Rush heel. We were bashing the shit outta him as a face, constantly. When you generate that kind of heat as a face, even though you don't mean/want to, it's just a natural progression. I prefer Rush as a heel. Still hate him though (the wrestler that is. Prolly a nice guy outside of wrasslin).

i like it wen a wrestler goes either face or heel due 2 fans, a few years back Synn was tryin 2 b the heel in UWA, but we all cheered him so much, he'd tell us 2 shut the fuck up and we'd cheer louder, then 1 show he came out the good guy
