The Money is in the Hero

Professional wrestling is like anything in life in that everyone has their opinions. Probably one of the most well-known and popular opinions among wrestlers, fans, and journalist is that heel (villain) world champions draw more money than babyface (fan favorite) world champions. The thought is fans would rather pay to watch their favorites chase the villains for the World Title across the territory or country then to watch their heroes defend against all comers. I personally disagree with this theory and think the people who believe are absolutely wrong. This article will not only debunk this theory but prove fan favorite world champions are the better choices. Since wrestling is considered "Sports-Entertainment" at times, I think it's only appropriate for me to use sports and entertainment as examples.
