Boys Meet Kayfabe and Brand New Hairdos
Boy Meets World Fever - A podcast by Cameron and Chance
In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true", specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not staged. This allows for a real investment in the characters and events within the sport while downplaying the staged nature of the events (which are not actually staged because kayfabe tells us they are not).As we begin season 7 in earnest and not as a hilarious prank that made everyone laugh, it is clear that some element of kayfabe has infiltrated the world of Boy Meets World. Some of this is through the literal presence of wrestler Mankind and maybe the strangest moment in Boy Meets World to date. But at the same time, things are starting to feel a bit off, but rather than acknowledge the fact that season 7 of Boy Meets World is in some ways going against all of the characters and not really doing the things that we know the show does well, we are just joining in the Boy Meets World kayfabe and are along for the ride.Join us for the kayfabe as we rewatch episodes 701 and 702 "Show Me the Love" and "For Love and Apartments".Did I say kayfabe enough times?
