You don’t need to spend much time in San Antonio to learn it’s both a Spurs city and a wrestling town, a funny contrast when you consider that one kind of fandom has embraced an antiseptic on-court product and the other revels in all the extracurricular, character-driven drama one can get. Last season blurred that line, as the face of the franchise turned heel in a way that felt both scripted and frustratingly ambiguous. In the end, two teams’ fortunes turned, some feelings were hurt, and we’re still not sure why it all happened.
