Referring to events as kayfabe means that they are worked events, and/or part of a wrestling storyline.” (Pro Wrestling Wiki)

Titus O’Neil posted a picture online that featured himself, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman.  Braun and Roman are bitter rivals on Monday Night RAW.  Some fans were up in arms at this breach of kayfabe.  How could two guys who have tried to kill each other for the last several months take a picture with each other?  Well, that’s because kayfabe is dead.  Well, it may not be dead.  Maybe it’s like a grandparent who is clinging to the last bits of life it has left in a nursing home.  Is it a good thing that kayfabe is dead?  Or is the death of kayfabe a huge problem in professional wrestling?  John and I discussed this and the late, great Chris Candido on The Accidental Wrestling Fan.
