On the Pillman DVD, you can clearly hear someone say "low blow" (not sure who it was, but definetly wasn't a fan) and then Austin gives Bret a low blow. I remember spotting that and I was all "XD". There's a few of those. I think it was Judgement Day (2000) when Earl Hebner is clearly seen giving The Rock a razor blade. That's because Monty Burns wanted him to trim those sideburns

It's 'Ricky' Vaughn, not Kevin Vaughn Ricky Vaughn was a name he used early in his career, but Ricky wasn't his real name. Kevin is his middle name, but I assumed he went by Kevin due to Gary Hart calling him 'Kevin Vaughn' in a shoot interview. Yeah, for years we thought his real name was Ricky Vaughn, the name he used in Portland, but on the World Class WWE DVD, Gary Hart refers to him as Kevin Vaughn. He COULD I guess be Richard Kevin Vaughn or Kevin Richard Vaughn.

Not exactly the biggest or most blatant, but...
No Way Out 2001, where The Rock got pissed at Earl Hebner for flubbing the finish by only counting to two when The Rock hit Angle with a Rock Bottom for what was supposed to be the pinfall. The Rock hoisted Angle up again, hit him with another and then could be seen screaming at Hebner to count the pin.
Another smaller one would be this week's Tribute to the Troops. Kelly Kelly and Layla El suddenly are tag team partners? Although, I guess that can just be chalked up to the fact that women are just plain nutty.

I'm apparently the only person who considered Ric Flair saying he was friends with the Undertaker breaking kayfabe. I agree. Although, I think Undertaker isn't so much an undead zombie these days as someone who plays one on TV. But yeah, no friends. Well, not even that so much. Yeah, but, even moreso, the fact that 'Taker once beat the shit out of David Flair and then destroyed Ric at Wrestlemania X8.

That could be explained easy, since Miz in kayfabe still has control over Kelly's contract. It's theoretically possible that he volunteered her to go to Iraq himself, even. Or alternatively, Layla had no reason to be an evil bitch as Miz (who also owns her contract) was thousands of miles away.

After his match with Goldberg, The Rock grabbing the mic talking for no reason like he was drunk.
And when Sid jumped off the turnbuckle and snapped his leg in half and it was dangling and they sat in the ring not knowing what to do but Sid told them to keep beating on him.

That Rock promo was very good at backlash

How about Vince and Stephanie calling the Undertaker "Mark" during the Ministry of Darkness deal? As also later seen on the Halloween edition of Celebrity Deathmatch.

The time when Vince McMahon got in the middle of the ring and said "WRESTLING IS FAKE" and gave out all the wrestlers real names was pretty much the most significant one I can recall. When did this happen?

When did this happen? I dunno. I just assumed it happened in the wrestling ring in his mind. I don't recall this.....at all.

I think the tribute to troops is a big breaqking of Kayfabe, not the matches themself, but clearly when you see heals and faces meeting the troops together, how could you not be breaking kayfabe?

There was the time that Lita was pregnant and they stopped they show after she feel. That was a huge Kayfabe moment. I'll also remember the time Hawk commited suicide on live TV.

But Jim Ross talked just like he did when Owen Hart died and that was real.

I dont feel like reading 7 pages to see if this was mentioned already, but I would have to say the speach Vince gave around 97 or 98 which pretty much broke kayfabe forever. You know, the one where he coined the phrase "sports entertainment" and said that there are no more "good guys vs bad guys". He pretty much went on WWE TV and admited wrestling was fake once and for all. I'm not saying that it wasnt already known that wrestling was fake, but to my knowledge this is the first time that the WWE admited it in any way
