Mitä tarkoittaa
Kayfabe on termi, jota käytetään ammattimaisessa painissa (pro wrestling) kuvaamaan tilannetta, jossa painijat esittävät hahmojaan ja tarinoitaan uskottavina, vaikka ne ovatkin ennalta kirjoitettuja tai suunniteltuja. Tämä käytäntö on tärkeä osa painikulttuuria, sillä se luo illuusion, että tapahtumat ovat aitoja ja vahvistaa katsojien tunteita ja sitoutumista. Kayfaben ylläpitäminen voi ulottua myös painijoiden toimintaan kehässä ja sen ulkopuolella, mukaan lukien sosiaalisessa mediassa. Kayfabe on auttanut määrittämään ammattipainin erityisen luonteen ja sen eron muista urheilulajeista.

Kayfabe is neither a suspension of disbelief nor the legitimating rules found in sport; rather, it is the outward projection or performance of events as real, both within and without the simulated realm of sports entertainment. Business historian Fiona A. E. McQuarrie has noted that the concept of kayfabe is not uncommon outside the realm of professional wrestling, as many corporations "formally require their members to maintain public silence on company issues or not to express any explicit criticism of the company, through such means as employment contracts or through contracts governing severance or termination of employment."
