10 Best Times Wrestlers Kept Kayfabe Outside Of Wrestling
7. Bully Ray - Sam Roberts Interview
Whilst enjoying arguably the most successful period of his career from 2012 - 13, Bully Ray somehow found himself romantically linked to Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke on TNA programming.
The pair were married on-screen amidst the Aces & Eights takeover storyline and because Bully Ray is a true master of the business he decided to uphold the facade of their on-screen commitment whenever he was interviewed about the subject during that time.
In an interview with Sam Roberts, Ray openly announced 'it's not a storyline' and that he was 'full blown' in love with Brooke. Ray fully detailed how his 'relationship' with Brooke started and did it all with a level of conviction which would make an Academy Award nominee jealous.
It's so rare for a talent to maintain this level of commitment outside of a wrestling television storyline in the 21st century and it definitely made fans invest in what was happening on TNA that bit more - whether they believed what Ray was saying or just wanted to tune in to see it all inevitably blow up.
It was revealed later down the line to be a complete lie and a formulated storyline all along, but Ray definitely deserves credit for keeping up his side of the bargain.
