WWE Night Of Champions: 21 Things You Might Have Missed

12. Cole Makes A 'Heel' Joke, Bangs Another Nail Into Kayfabe's Coffin

Ok, Michael, we get it. Wrestling's fake, but do you have to make a joke about it live on global TV? After Rusev lost his match by being accidentally hit by a shoe thrown by Summer Rae (aren't you proud to like wrestling sometimes?) Michael Cole quipped to his fellow announcers: "That gives new meaning to the word heel here in WWE" Kayfabe has been more or less dead since the 80s but that doesn't mean you should trot out its corpse and do a little marionette number. 'Heel' means 'someone scripted to be a bad guy' and even though pretty much everyone knows WWE ain't real, the announcers should at least try to keep the pretence going. Lie to us, for god's sake.
