Does this mean Tiger King was all a Kayfabe?

  Maybe you mean this as a joke but it absolutely was. At one point Joe mentions he and Carole made a lot of money off each other. He ran a whole internet show on the premise of vilifying her, and her whole "Cat Rescue" zoo couldn't exist without the likes of him. They both denounce each-other but depend on each-other. Though I suppose Kayfabe would maybe imply some mutual understanding of this interdependence and some agreed-upon boundaries.

    Sort of like Batman and the Joker?

      "you won't kill me out of some misguided sense of self righteousness and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun" I had the same thought

    Lol I think its a case study in Kayfabe, especially the part where Joe Exotic ironically went off-script and orchestrated a shoot. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_(professional_wrestling) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_(professional_wrestling) A "shoot" is when the agreed-upon boundaries are broken and a "worked shoot" is one where they are "broken" but actually planned E.g. when Joe's barn burned down. Classic.
