Yep. When I look back at the whole last piece of Bret's WWE run, the heel in US/babyface in Canada thing was so excellent. I'm very glad that rasslin in general has not run that deal into the ground since then. So it can still happen.

And AEW has done a solid job of making their shows have the right kind of local/regional/indy feel when they go out of their way to be like 'THIS GUY IS FROM THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW..ISN'T THAT SOMETHING!?'. And yeah, it is a grand change from the 'Jim Ross gets fucked over every time WWE is in Oklahoma' era of WWE. Even they have tried to cut it out with that in recent years.
