Kayfabe died May 19th, 1996.

Also on November 9, 1997.

I don't know why "kayfabe is dead" seems to be something new when it's been dead for more than 25 years.

Reality TV is the Kayfabe. I'm serious you know the production crews will tell them to say stuff to make it interesting and cut footage to totally change context.

Kayfabe has been dead since Jim Duggan and Iron Sheik got arrested together for possession of cocaine.

 

[Breadbassket]

Kayfabe has been dead for a long time but at the same time it's strange how pro-wrestling relishes in how fake it is all the time these days.

Honorable mention for the WCW Disney tapings in the '90s. I once had a Disney adult friend (she has good qualities, too) read the wikipedia entry on that debacle, she knew next to nothing about wrestling and couldn't stop laughing. Kayfabe has been dead longer than some people on this forum have been alive.

 

[Blackstar]

No matter how dead it is, I always appreciate wrestlers that still keep it up.

The IWC never calls out TK on this and the few times he's been asked about it in interviews he kind of sheepishly said stuff along the lines of their being no need for it because everyone in AEW is already treated fairly.

It's also why the unions in the professional sports kind of suck as well, particularly in the NFL; the interests of fhe top players and the average players do not align at all.

The IWC never calls out TK on this and the few times he's been asked about it in interviews he kind of sheepishly said stuff along the lines of their being no need for it because everyone in AEW is already treated fairly.

Also the promise that the wrestlers would have health insurance plans covered/provided by the company. Turns out that was only for the executives. Whoops.

its been the same thing since AEW formed to most of the IWC, its the Tony Good Vince Bad thing, like there were people staunchly defending TK when he added injury time to the Lucha Bros contracts despite Vince doing the same thing to various other wrestlers throughout the years, they can't ever engage in criticism of their favorite fed its peak Internet Brain

Last time I saw Hulk Hogan, he was getting out of his truck and thanked everyone who showed up. Being a Japanese fan, I yelled out “ICHIBAN!” which he says “easy on that Japanese stuff, that’s too real for me!”

Kayfabe has been dead since Jim Duggan and Iron Sheik got arrested together for possession of cocaine.

Kayfabe has been dead ever since that one San Francisco promoter blew the whistle on it because he was mad about getting run out of the business.

 

[ChunkyKong]

Been rewatching old TNA. NGL I love the documentary style filming they did. Think a show in this format would've done well tbh.

Flaaaaair! FLAAAAAAAIR!

According to Bluesky celebrating Hulk Hogan's death is a good thing that should be allowed because some glowies shot at some Emmett Till sign.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Bianca Belair’s albino nieces and nephews adore Cody.

I thought this was a shitpostt then googled it, JFC.

Better not let them go to Africa lest some Wesley Snipes dark brother tries to break their head open with a hammer for the gold inside.

That tweet seems to be trying to make Hulk looks shitty. He actually says "easy on the Japanese stuff brother, that wrestling's too real for me".

Which WWE wrestler will kill themselves over this reality show?

Sometimes I wonder if Kaufman didnt get cancer he would of ended up in the WWF as a personality or a manager
