5 Hidden WWE Secrets that have been caught on camera
WWE is the biggest wrestling promotion in the world right now. Led and guided by the on-screen evil boss, Vince McMahon, the company has reached new heights of success with each passing year.
The world of pro-wrestling, as we know it today, has changed so much than what it was before. The whole "kayfabe" factor from the business has gone, as we are now in the "Reality Era" of the business. With the advancement of the internet wrestling community, fans have become more and more aware of what once were huge secrets for WWE.
Being watching WWE since my childhood, I admit without any shame that there was a time when I used to think The Undertaker and Kane are real brothers and pro-wrestling is not scripted but is all absolutely real. But that was a good 15 years ago, and now with the onslaught of the internet, not just these but many more massive secrets of the company and the business overall have been revealed to the world.
It's very popular to get real camera footage from WWE shows and events that often split out many hidden secrets that the company tries to keep away from the fans. Credit where it's due, as WWE tries a lot to keep the "kayfabe" part alive, but things don't always go their way.
In this article, let's take a look at 5 Hidden Secrets of WWE that were unfortunately caught on camera. Feel free to share your thoughts and views on the importance of "kayfabe" in the world of pro-wrestling in the comments section below.
#5 Referees helping wrestlers during the match
The job of a WWE referee isn't as easy as it seems. In one of my other articles, I've discussed some surprising facts about these unsung heroes of pro-wrestling that you might not know. A WWE referee has to do a lot more than just show up on the day of an event and officiate the match.
Much like the wrestlers involved, these referees also train for the match in advance. They are well aware of all the major spots in the match that they will officiate, and hence they are a huge help to wrestlers inside the ring whenever some spot goes wrong.
One of the recent examples of this that was caught on camera was during Becky Lynch and Charlotte's match at the Evolution PPV last year. In the video above, it can be seen clearly how the referee is passing the chair to Becky to help her get out of the Figure 8 lock.
