I understand kayfabe as being the code of conduct whereby professional wrestlers, carneys, and the like would not divulge the secrets of their professions. To "break kayfabe" is to transcend the fourth wall, allowing the public in on the act -- admitting that wrestling moves are not intended to cause pain, that feuds only exist "on stage", etc.
