'WWE Unreal' Has Pissed Off Wrestling Purists

How far are you willing to go to protect your job? In a bygone era of professional wrestling, an art form founded when the light bulb was a technological marvel, wrestlers were sworn to protect the business. Meaning: maintain the illusion (often referred to as "kayfabe") that everything about them and what they did was real. If two wrestlers were embroiled in a blood feud, no one could see them chowing steaks together at a restaurant. Wrestlers and promoters believed (maybe even correctly) that the illusion of costumed titans fighting each other for glory was what compelled people to spend money to see matches. No kayfabe, no business. Protect the business. It was an order. A vow.
