However, I might be in a different place than you. Now I have much less exposure to Nero's character. I think I only have two of his UCW matches (Kenny + Chase), plus the Chase/Cole title match where he reffed. I thought he was great in those. I even gave him a Cavey award for them. <br /><br />If I'd seen more, maybe I'd feel differently, but Nero's character hasn't fazed me for a few reasons. I don't think of any of these guys as unwilling or dupes. Chase and Kenny definitely seemed all in for the premise. It's part of the UCW way. It sure feels like most matches feature someone's hand down his opponent's trunks. And I'm struggling to decide if Nero's particular enjoyment of wrestling is worse than the many sadist characters UCW features. Is Nero's joy really worse than say a Quinn Harper character who gets joy from physically assaulting a guy, including his manhood? Is me liking morally questionable characters like Nero or Quinn something I should worry about?<br /><br />As an aside, it's Nick Diesel's seeming turn from king of bondage into a 'no homo' prude (based on what I've inferred from your posts) that I'd like to see stop.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the thought-provoking post. I don't know if it helped me decide to buy the match or not (maybe based on how I now think it ends), but you got my brain working. :)AlexMiller72https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342817979573894992noreply@blogger.com
