Why don't we have a forum of talking about things only in Kayfabe,nothing like spoilers,reports,backstage news, or talking about things that we can't see on screen happening.

Your thoughts?

I think for it to be effective, it would need separated from the WWE threads. The minute you poke in there, simply to navigate to the kayfabe thread, you'd see spoilers and news which would detract from the element of kayfabe.

It could survive in a General WWE Sub Forum, hoping the users don't view the top threads and those top threads aren't "Cena breaks his leg for realz!!!". But, not as a sticky in general WWE.

Personally, I find this forum could handle kayfabe alright if people weren't jerks. But, most wrestling fans looking for a forum online to discuss wrestling are miserable and jerks. So, I would gladly contribute to a kayfabe thread. That's not saying it would work well, becuse opinions would still be a thing.

A sub-wwe forum where we can discuss wrestling things without spoilers, dirt sheets, ratings, drawing power, and back stage politics is what I'd prefer. That way I can still love Neville as a heel despite me kayfabe supposed to hate him. I can also still make predictions based on what I think the company will do, but I wouldn't back it up with dirt sheets or merchandise numbers.

This has potential. I wonder though if there might have to be rules like in Rants, where you can flame people without getting infractions. Because if we were to go about this like people are thinking, if we try to "keep it real" then some people might get out of hand with their "markdom". Just a thought.

Does Kayfabe and Spoiler Free mean the same thing?

Spoiler free I don’t think looks much different than anywhere else because WWE isn’t that hard to figure out. Maybe get the occasional surprise preserved by not reading a report ahead of time.

Actual kayfabe I feel like would be kind of embarrassing to read. Like where everyone is super serious about it being real and pretends to hate all the heels.

But why would everyone have to hate the heels? In life there are always jerks who root for the bullies (because they themselves are bullies, etc.) or like to see bad things happen to "goody two shoes" characters. There have been heel commentators for a long time, why not heel fans? I say let them try.

And if it is cringey then those who don't like the thread can stay away. My biggest concern is that the trolls will ruin it for the ones who try to take it seriously. I think if someone is going to start a thread like this they might as well try it in the Games and Trivia Section first. I don't see it working in the regular Wrestling Sections.
