3. Kayfabe Is Dying
A magician never reveals his secrets and, for a long time, neither did wrestlers. In a wider sense, it can be argued that wrestling will never carry the same mystique and exciting unpredictability as it once did. More and more WWE fans are now also critics, wannabe bookers and amateur talent scouts, scrutinising every decision the company makes behind the scenes and airing their views. Wisely, the WWE seems finally to have embraced the gradual death of kayfabe in the industry, airing podcast interviews featuring Austin, Jericho, Vince and Triple H for network subscribers to see. However, its fair to say that the industry will never be the same again. Something has been lost and - although there's nothing the WWE could have realistically done to stop it - it must still be considered a potentially huge problem. Although the increasing desire of fans to know about the inner workings of the business as a whole has generated a different kind of interest, the original magic of wrestling gradually becomes a little more faint with each passing year. While more of an intangible issue than a problem with the company itself, it could still spell trouble many years down the line.
