Professional Wrestling back in the day, when I was really young, had pretty definitive lines of good and evil. At least in the sense that the 'good guys' had values and principles. They didn't cheat, they helped other people out, were loyal, told you to say your prayers and take your vitamins and were generally good role models that people looked up to. Whereas the 'bad guys' or heels did cheat, they didn't care about the rules, were openly disdainful, took cheap shots, betrayed one another, etc.
This was part of the spectacle and appeal of professional wrestling which played out as a sort of drama of good vs. evil, even if it was in a simplistic way.
The documentary is fascinating because Bret Hart was one of the 'good guys' and really identified with that, both on and off-stage. He took his role very seriously and 25 years ago was probably the most famous Canadian in the world. So when the 90's came around and traditional values, values that he grew up in, cherished and wanted to continue promoting in the wrestling world started to become "passe" and in a sense overshadowed, he came face-to-face with a changing world that saw a gradual dissolution of concepts of 'good' and 'evil' in the wrestling world in exchange for a moral relativism grey area that saw the 'bad guys' become the protagonists and his struggles amidst all this.
