this is from a Guardian review of Channel 4's Wrestling With Trump documentary. Positing, in 2026, that Kayfabe is an explanation for why fans don't like to admit wrestling isn't real should have you taken off any beat that covers anything remotely close to wrestling.

a screenshot from the Guardian website, it reads:

"Kayfabe refers to the willing suspension of disbelief around wrestling. It's why fans don't like to acknowledge that their favourite physical spectacle is pure theatre, staged and scripted. It's far more entertaining and dramatic if you believe it's true; though deep down, in some Bluebeard's chamber, locked door of the psyche, you know it's not."
