Kayfabe
In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of events within the industry as “real.” That is, the portrayal of professional wrestling as being genuine or not worked. Referring to events or interviews as being a “work” means that the event/interview has been “kayfabed” or staged, and/or is part of a wrestling angle while being passed off as legitimate.
I’ve mentioned this before, but seriously, look at it. The WWE is one of the single most curious juxtapostions one could hope for in this world, like Adaptation meets NASCAR.
