>>12001167OP, I can tell you're a retard so I'm going to be as detailed as possible. But I understand if none of it registers due to your retardation.
Kayfabe did exist, because kayfabe is a code of conduct for the performers. It has nothing to do with if the general public believe it or not. Try not to use terms you don't understand, tardboy.
Wrestling wasn't presented like it is today. Until the 80s you would only do a storyline if you were having trouble drawing. And a storyline would mostly be things getting heated during a match and guys continuing to fight after the bell, or a heel needing to be put in his place cause he hurt a rookie, often followed up by showing off bruises and cuts from the altercation. It wasn't possessed school girls haunting people with her evil doll, or a bunch of fags wishing they could still be friends.
For the most part people knew it was fake, but they didn't have that fakeness shoved down their throats and as a result could actually draw fans in the same towns every week because they weren't constantly being told their heroes and villains were just pretending.
I know you faggots don't really comprehend wrestling as anything more than a vehicle for gymnastics or putting catch phrases on T-shirts. But a big part of wrestling use to be using the physical language of pro wrestling to create an emotional investment with the audience. Like if you ever watched Grey's Anatomy or This is Us with a girl, they know it's not real, but they're invested in those characters. That use to be wrestling.
And people took that investment to the shows, not pulling the curtain back to one another. In fact at least through the 90s, if a smark met a retard, like OP, who thought it was real at a show, you had an obligation to play along.
