Kayfabe Café

Every end is a new beginning. New challenges, new triumphs, new failures. But to win, much like in wrestling, we have to look back at the past and learn from the lessons from our experiences.

As the Kayfabe Café comes to a close, we kick off our sendoff by looking at another notable ending this year, Manila Wrestling Federation.

Let the battle begin! As we at Kayfabe Cafe match 2 different wrestling perspectives against each other in a fight of epic proportions… well, epic-ish. In the first edition of LVL, Link looks to fight for Sports Entertainment supremacy, while Linus defends the honor of Pro Wrestling. So, whose side are you on?

What if Eric Bischoff’s mantra of ‘controversy creates cash’ and Vince Russo’s idea of crash course TV got its way? On this episode of the podcast Ant, Link, and Linus talked about the possible reality we could be experiencing had WCW WON the Monday Night Wars!

Burnout is real, yo. Sometimes we don't even realize it.

On this episode of the podcast, Ant, Linus, and Link are joined by The Slickmaster in talking about everything that has to do with being burnt out in wrestling as a fan, and how to avoid losing interest in something that you enjoy.

The more things evolve, the more they replicate images of the past— that goes double in pro wrestling. On this episode of the podcast, the boys celebrate Ant’s birthday by breaking down one of his observations: how modern wrestling adapted the territory system.

14 months, 7 men, 1 bad series of bookings. But what if the Nexus was booked better? In this edition of our wrestling what if series, we took a look at how things could have gone a different way and what the alternate timeline could have looked like for one of WWE’s most misused factions.

Does being a ‘smark’ make you a better wrestling fan, or does it just turn you into an annoying fan? On this episode of the podcast, we talked about everything that has something to do with the smark culture and how it affects the larger wrestling community.

It's pretty weird to find other wrestling fans trying to be heavily involved with the product in a way that goes beyond watching the program - kinda like they want to be wrestlers as well. On this episode of the podcast we took a closer look at this strange behavior to try and answer why this happens often.

It’s a brand new year in wrestling and we want to be as optimistic as ever. So, on this episode of the podcast, we shared some of the things we want to see happen in the world of pro wrestling this 2024!
