Any professional athlete is expected to keep in shape, eat well, doing media interviews, treat the public well. Pro wrestlers have to do that now, too. One of the most pervasive and popular changes in the content of wrestling characters in the past few years is the rise of the anti-hero. In comes a Texas redneck that drinks beer, curses, flips people off and essentially says rebellion is good. Everyone loves it.
Every fan has a favorite wrestler.
All this and more, actually. Some are big on talk. I'm real big on Kurt Angle because he is an Olympic gold medal winner who's an amazing athlete. Others like size. When the Undertaker choke-slammed him through the bottom of the ring, it was pretty exciting.
