WWE superstars In Character Persona?

Question

Why Is It essential. that Once a wrestler goes through that curtain they are to remain in-character until they go back to the locker room. even after the WWE is off air and the show has ended?

Answer 1

Goes back to the days (Kayfabe) when wrestling was a deep secret. In Mexico they still honor that they eat,shop and all that in there mask.

Keep in character at all times, never be seen in public with the guy you just wrestled

Answer 2

i know snitsky,  real name gene snisky... hes not that polite at all ....EVER

Answer 3

b/c if they don't they will get fired. they have a role to play like in a movie and they must play it correctly or suffer the consequences (get fined, fired, etc.)

Answer 4

because most probably its stipulated on their contract that they have to stay in character as long as they're inside the wwe premises for believability purposes.. people shouldn't see them out of their on-screen character 'coz it will ruin their image & packaging..

Answer 5

Answer 6

well most superstars use there real names you can tell wich ones dont but anyway.

they dont have to remain in character b/c thats not fair to them.

it would be like not ever getting a chance to have a actually life.

i can almost guarentet that edge or taker or kane or whoever doesnt reamain in character at say a mall or something.

b/c if they did any fans that seen them would be all on them.

and theyd never get any peace.

Answer 7

Well if your watching a TV show do you want a character from the show to break character?

Answer 8

That's Pretty tough to Answer but

Before the days of the Internet, when the professional wrestling industry was still a mystery, wrestlers remained in-character anytime they were in a public situation. That was one of the unwritten rules of professional wrestling – never break character under any circumstance. Bret Hart wrote in his book how he would remain in-character while drinking in bars or just going out for dinner.  

Answer 9

It used to be like that now wrestlers can act any kind of way after they are off camera like u can see tem on myspace talking bout drugs, getting drunk partyin, stuff like that so its really any kinda way now, only superstar who has to  carry own theyre persona off camera is CM punk who knows why but i read an article says Vinces requires it

Answer 10

Maybe in case they get near a camera.
