A well handled feud can seem like a shoot, but people will never believe that wrestling is real again.

the curtains have been revealed so much over the years that kayfabe largely can't exist the same way anymore. like >>13523162 said, if a feud is done well, it can mirror a shoot but no one outside of wrestling circles would largely care.

AEW could have brought it back by letting punk murder Hangman or one the bucks in the ring.

There is sort of a kayfabe still. It's just via "shooting" now. Half the shit you read is probably never true and that's how you work people these days.

There's no reason why kayfabe can't come back. People can suspend their disbelief for shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. If wrestling was any good it would make people suspend their disbelief the same way. All it needs is some decent writing and a basic commitment to verisimilitude.

kayfabe is already back but you just don't realize it. the whole cody/rock/roman angle was a complete work including leaking fake info to dirtsheets about rock forcing his way into the main event

Kayfabe is dead, we are in the era of worked kayfabe. Learn to love it, social media has ruined everything.

It's more alive now than it was 15 years ago, thanks to all the marks flaming out on Twitter every time they get worked.

It's dead forever because the wrestlers aren't talented enough to trick the audience anyplace
