This is what I like about indy wrestling.

It's less scripted, you have the face/heel dynamic and the good ones are great with the crowd.

For example, the brief exchange here. The heel just lost a 2 out of 3 falls match, where the final fall was as a result of botched interference (another heel meant to hit the face with a belt but hit the heel).



Although sometimes scripted works. I may or may not have come up with the exchange at the start.
