Friends, it’s been a wonderful journey making KayFab. We’ve laughed, we’ve gasped in horror, we’ve learned proper wrestling terminology and promptly forgotten it. But now it’s time to hang up our shiny diapers and move on to new projects. For our final episode, we take a lightning-round journey through some of the wrestlers we always wanted to cover but hadn’t gotten around to.

KayFAB The Podcast

Episode 47: No Steel Magnolias Spoilers!

Producer Mike has spent nearly two years patiently answering KayFab's questions and producing episodes.

Will they graduate from new wrestling fans to merely wrestling fans?

KayFab has always been neutral towards Kevin Owens, but Producer Mike is making it his mission to change their minds!
