Five superstars in Pro-wrestling who never broke kayfabe

1. The story of Tim Woods

Tim Woods

Tim Woods’ story is probably one of my favourite old school wrestling stories of all time. This personifies the importance of keeping kayfabe in the old days. Woods, along with Johnny Valentine, a young Ric Flair and another wrestler was involved in a plane crash, which resulted in the death of the pilot, two of the wrestlers retiring for good and Woods breaking his back along with Ric Flair. The only problem was, Tim was supposed to face Johnny, and Tim was the good guy while Valentine was the hated villain. If people found out that Tim and Johnny were travelling together, that would imply that both of them were friends!

Tim, being the old school wrestler, fought 2 weeks after the plane crash with a broken back! Although it didn’t result in any further damage, this shows that the professional wrestlers would go to any length to protect the integrity of business. Even Ric Flair started wrestling just 6 months after the plane crash, which was described as a miracle!

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
