Payback.
Because WWE has to tweak stuff because they think they're smarter than the fans.

When did kayfable die?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
There wasn't one moment. the 90s for the most part, with ECW doing a lot of it.
It's...Baylariat!

You think me posing as Tully Blanchard on the Disqus part of the WZ main page will get over?

I doubt it. Comments sections usually suck.
Isn't kayfabe already dead when you debut characters like the Undertaker or Max Moon?
In the past there were a lot of lady's man characters. Were they often meant in an ironic way? I'm not an expert on what is considered attractive in men and haven't seen a lot of the guys, but guys like Rose or Landel talking about their way with the ladies seems rather implausible to me.

No. That makes kayfabe even stronger when you consider how well Undertaker did. What killed kayfabe was everyone giving up on the idea of pretending it was all real. Now they talk about respecting the business and stuff like that. By calling it a business, kayfabe is damaged.

Well Rose's gimmick was that he claimed to be 100lbs lighter than he actually was so it was more delusion than anything else. Landel was literaly a Ric Flair tribute character so going with the ladies man stuff is logical.

They would show faces and heels together in the locker room, they would break the fourth wall and call each other by their real names etc.

Wasn't there a better heel for trips and the outlaws to get on there team for the 8 man tag match at the in your house before mania 14? Also any comments on Austin having Owen on his team after he spent all of 97 feuding against the Hart's and of course Owen breaking his neck some 6 months prior?

Yeah Savio is widely considered a horrible pick for that spot. I'm still not sure why they went with him unless they were picking someone Austin had (ancient) history with.
Eh it's wrestling. Stuff like that happens all the time.

The problem I see with them is they're taped 11 months in advance in some cases. That's a LONG way off and a lot could change in that amount of time. That being said, for 15 bucks for 2:45 of HD, it's hard to complain much.
Nothing special.

Was HBK better in his first or second run? I think I prefer his matches after 2002, but his heel persona in the 90's was one of my favourites "characters" ever.
Also, in 1998 when HBK leaves, HHH looks like a midcarder. Next year when he wins the title he looks like a bona-fide main eventer, but I can't figure out why. He didn't get any bigger or anything, whats up with that?

Did you enjoy watching Benoit/Angle's matches from 01-04? They were entertaining.
klunderbunker
Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Probably second but it's splitting hairs.
He was more than a midcarder in 1998. The ladder match at Summerslam made him a much bigger deal than he was before.
Yeah.

Do you think Verne Gagne was legit mad at Vince for taking Hogan away from him?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Probably but he had no one to blame but himself.

Who do you specifically find it stupid that they were a triple crown champ in TNA?
klunderbunker
Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
The first one that comes to mind would be Angle when he was the Triple Crown Champion at the same time.

I hope you just intentionally misinterpreted the question and are commenting on that story only. Also, don't pretend you didn't like that match with Lethal.
