Wade Keller: It's all about bonding with characters that you want to see either win or lose.

Eric Bischoff: It is, and sometimes the best way to move forward is to move back. Just step back and say what works. Good vs. Evil has worked since the history of entertainment, and even before television. Plays, Shakespeare, probably drawings on caveman walls. It was Good vs. Evil. That's human nature. That's the human experience. That's what people want to watch. Just throwing people out there and hoping the audience is going to make a decision is the creative equivalent of throwing mud up against the wall and seeing what sticks. It doesn't really take much talent.

Keller: In a Shakespearian sense, it's tragedy or comedy. You have a happy ending or a sad ending that leads to the next chapter. I think a lot of times bookers are scared to end something and begin something new. They just want to create more nuances and chaos. Sometimes you have to give them that happy ending or sad ending.

Bischoff: Yep.
