With Steve Austin, you wanna be Steve Austin. You don't want him to reflect your misery, you want to be a badass like him.
That's what makes over-the-top wrestlers so good and lovable, even if they're heels. That element of "too much"? That's how we're thinking when we're kids. Unrestrained, unhindered, sometimes unhinged too.
In your own childlike imagination back when you were a kid, you weren't relating to a character in a game or TV show or book or movie because of the misery. You wanted to be the guy, and in your imagination, you were that guy.
When I see a Hangman Adam Page, I can stomach watching him sulk for a show or two so he can build a story, but he has to conquer his problems and reign triumphantly.
That inspires people to do it too.
If he stays an insecure faggot, he might be more relatable to the audience, but he's never going to uplift them or help them by staying that.
Whatever blog over.
Imma down a beer.
