Kayfabe in wrestling is like The Force in Star Wars. The second you break the bond between kayfabe and the audience to point to where wrestlers can't overcome the lack of it, how can you tell a story that you can control. Sure Kayfabe is in the mud at this point, but when the shift went from the WWF Superstars to "This Business", you steadily start to lose the fantasy. Whether you are as a kid or an adult, a good thought-out story is key. Wrestling's greatest crutch are wrestlers who can perform at such a high level that that it covers for shitty storylines. Funny enough Naomi, Toni Storm, Mercedes, and Stephanie Vaquer have had the best and bigger compelling wrasslin' stories over the recent years, and it helped they looked great doing it. And also with the implementation of getting more newer lucha wrestlers integrated with American audiences that can add that variety, the ball has been the major companies ball to fumble. But in a time where it is more important to make the company the star of the show, we are where we are now with stupid booking decisions being made to cater to prior obligations by those who have different goals than insuring that the pro wrestling balance is being maintained. At least in the past, shows that bent the rules of breaking kayfabe left to door open to funny crashouts that you didn't know where real or not. By today's standards, breaking kayfabe not only exposed who wrestlers are as people, you now can telegraph how they move as a character and as a person. And that's terrible.
