This poll comes as a result of a conversation where someone felt that knowledge of what kayfabe was is fairly common.

I figured I'd put that to the test.

Poll will run for 5 days, and then the results will be published.

If I rember right it's the idea that all of wrestling is "Real" the people and the storylines. Just rember wrestling is carney and we should all play the games at the sideshow to give the promter all of out money.

Of course I know what Kayfabe is.

It's that crappy action nobody's put in their deck in years.

That card alone should have endured all Raw Deal players knew the meaning.

isn't Kayfabe the term, wrestlers themselves, used for staying into character no matter what? Didn't the late Barron do an article on this?

Don't break kayfabe. don't break character. don't break that bond between fans and the character?

so i think i know so i am saying yes.

it is not the first rule of fight club!!! wtf!!!
