Kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true", specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not staged.

Maybe Person A in a tag team attacks Person B. There are a few ways to handle this:

• Is it because Person A is a big 'ole meanie and Person B is going to have to teach them a lesson?

• Is it because Person B couldn't pull their weight and Person A was justified in their actions?

What I'm trying to avoid is something like "Person A hasn't gotten over with audiences and so they're changing up their character to see if that will garner a better crowd reaction". Being "in the know" of the backstage stuff is cool and all but wrestling is so much more fun when treating the storylines as real and watching and posting in kayfabe. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and have fun discussing wrestling the way it should be enjoyed.

With that in mind: In kayfabe, what are your thoughts this week?
