Everyone knows pro wrestling is fake, but I just learned there’s a word the industry uses to describe how all their world’s a stage: kayfabe. Fans apparently don’t care, or they are of an intelligence level I cannot relate to.
This also explains a lot of politics, such as why certain politicians seem to get away with murder - it’s kayfabe to make the audience boo the heel. (see article below). There was even a wrestler named “Kamala” Harris.
