The second rule of wrestling is do not break kayfabe.
The third rule is do not tell marks that kayfabe exists because that would break kayfabe.
Kayfabe is the code wrestlers live by- maintaining the illusion to friends, family, spouses and everyone else to protect the business at all costs. No matter what you do, don’t tell anyone that wrestling isn’t real- kayfabe is the #1 rule of being a pro wrestler.
Well, I'm retired so now I get to ruin kayfabe by sharing trade secrets and wrestling lingo reserved for insiders. But I’m not doing it to kill wrestling; I’m doing it because I love wrestling.
