Today the Palskis are looking at the job of the heel in modern pro wrestling, and whether the actions or words of a heel wrestler should be judged differently than the actions or words of other villainous characters in fiction. Is there a line that heels shouldn't cross? Are all heel wrestler character types judged equally? Does a "realistic" heel get less slack from our society than an over-the-top cartoonish one? Bigotry, sexism, personal attacks of loved ones, references to reality, offensive or revolting acts... murder?! What exactly is the job of the heel?
