I got a good cs degree . I do at least something programming related daily . Some of these often still go over my head . Nothing like programming to make you feel a bit stupid a few times a day . <| sep |> They ' re not that bad for a beginner with a starter deck , and TBH , it ' s their only choice lol <| sep |> I approach it a bit differently . I don ' t think of it in terms of guidelines , per se . For me , it ' s about the stories and how you get the wrestlers playing certain roles and making it believable . Lets use your Kevin Owens example . For me , he doesn ' t look like a monster . But his abilities in the ring obviously shows that he ' s very good . But I think some of his moves actually get the crowd on side for him more than it enhances him as a heel . I don ' t think heels need to be seen as a credible threat per se , unless they look like they are . It ' s the same concept for faces . It ' s the same reason why I think most people cannot fathom Roman Reigns being beaten down and fighting against the odds . Someone like him big , strong , athletic , good looking , cool doesn ' t fight against the odds because it ' s expected that the odds aren ' t against him . Faces don ' t need to be underdogs . But what they do need to do is be able to elicit sympathy from the crowd . The easiest and more often than not , laziest way to do that is to have the face be the underdog . But that doesn ' t mean much when you don ' t build your characters up for the audience to care about . For instance , Sin Cara , unless he ' s facing other cruiserweights , will always be the underdog . But his build and history has been so decimated that he will probably find it very hard to elicit sympathy from the crowd . So when he gets killed by a monster heel no one really cares . On the other hand , someone like Cesaro , who is never really ever been the underdog but is so likable that when he loses people really sympathise with him because they know he can go and they know that he should win and that he ' s capable of winning but it ' s just another case of so close , yet so far . Jericho is so brilliant at making us believe what he does that he can be any type of heel or face that he wants . Heel Triple H is the same . Despite being an Adonis with powerful strength , he cheats not because he cannot win , but because he wants to find the easy way out . On the flip , face Triple H is a tough MFer who is difficult to beat because he ' s so resilient .
