Is he dead... OR ALIVE!? (RAW Spoilers)

[Xero]

So, who's Kane looking for?

Taker?

Paul Bearer?

Katie Vick's father?

Fake Kane?

May 19th?

[thedamndest]

Jacob Goodnight?

[Innovator]

Isaac Yankem DDS

[Pardeep 619]

Fake Diesel?

Christmas Creature?

[Pardeep 619]

Vince McMahon?

[Impact!]

He's looking for the Dentist I. Yankem. As he saw that Snitsky could use some work.

[Impact!]

Damn you Inno

[Mr. Nerfect]

Charles Robinson. Recently in a match, Kane communicated with referee Charles Robinson by his first name, implying that they are on a first name basis. Kane is probably just concerned because of the incident depicted in your sig, Xero.

[KingofKings]

I hope Kane just go for this all out feud with Taker. I dont think their matches are all that good, but it could produce a good storyline. Only thing is if he was talking about Taker why would he ask is he dead or alive? Taker is the 'deadman'.

[BigDaddyCool]

Chris Benoit?

[BigDaddyCool]

I do recall him yelling something about tapping.

[Rammsteinmad]

Sounds most likely to be Paul Bearer, since he is supposed to be his Dad who Undertaker "buried" alive.

Anyways to be honest who gives a shit?! Kane goes through a heel/face turn at least once a year. They may make it look like their really gonna start using Kane properly and make him the monster he should be, but by Summerslam he'll be back to himself.

[Shadow]

The ring tech he threw over the railing?

[Stickman]

No way does this lead to anything worthwhile. Kane's been a glorified jobber for years.

[Hanso Amore]

Kane may be a glory Jobber, but he is one of the few guys that can job for years, then get a solid push and be taken seriously.

If they bring back evil Murderer Kane, it will work.

[Disturbed316]

They need to bring back the monster Kane from 97/98, that would rule.

[parkmania]

It's a shame they didn't do this about 2 months ago - right around MAY 19TH!!!

[Hanso Amore]

I still cant believe that fucking storyline. It was nothing....but he was like haunted by the movie release date.

[Slow]

I'm 90% sure he said vince when he was playing with michael cole

[GD]

If you guys remember Paul Bearer made an appearance on The Dirt Sheet a few many many many weeks ago.

[KingofOldSchool]

Eddie Guerrero

[Fox]

I'm 90% sure he said vince when he was playing with michael cole

That was my first thought too, but its pretty clear that Vince McMahon is not dead. We saw him talking and moving about a little bit when he was carted off the night of the accident. And if Vince was "dead," Steph and Shane would have made an announcement or something, like last time. Currently they are "not releasing the extent of his injuries," which does not, to me, point to death or anything related to that. Probably he's gone insane or something.

Anyways, I don't care what this storyline is, I'm just glad that Kane turned heel and looks to be getting some form of a push. And with Randy out of the picture, that makes him the new top heel on RAW beside Jericho and JBL. I wouldn't mind seeing a Kane run with the World Title; God knows he deserves it after all of the shit he's gone through his career, neving bitching, always doing what is asked of him despite how stupid or "career damaging" it may be.

[Fox]

Also, maybe after seeing FourFifty's tattoo they will decide that the mask was "cool" and will put him back underneath it.

[James Steele]

He is concerned for our beloved fallen chairman.

[Fox]

What's his motive?

There is none.

[DarKCentaur]

Also, maybe after seeing FourFifty's tattoo they will decide that the mask was "cool" and will put him back underneath it.

His new heel gimmick will be him Rick Rolling the face wrestlers before their match

[Kenny]

Usually, I'd be a little pumped up about this... but lets go over this.

[Crimson]

lol

[Triple Naitch]

Ron Paul's chances in the election?

[mrslackalack]

I think it has to be 1 of 3 prime canidates Vince and Taker most likely or maybe Paul Bearer

[Kalyx triaD]

Taker's going to Raw. End of story.

[DaVe]

I very highly doubt that.

After watching it again, I'm sure it is along the lines of Anybody Thrilla/Noid thought's: Kane is talking about himself as a monster. He snapped after he lost, and after a few moments to think about how pathetic he was becoming.

Doesn't make much sense for him to randomly start thinking about Taker (or any person other than Kane for that matter) after he loses a match.=/

[TerranRich]

If he was talking about himself, that would add a new dimension to his insanity.

[Theo Dious]

I'd like to see it be Paul Bearer. He needs another run in WWE.

[JT]

Disco?

[Indifferent Clox]

Heath Ledger?

Kane doesn't understand the concept of nonlive tv now that he is on raw. So when he sees these commercials with Heth Ledger in them he is thinking, HOW CAN HE BE ON THIS UPCOMING MOVIE IF HE IS DEAD?

This may sound odd because he was on ECW recentley, but we all know wwe doesn't give a fuck about continuity especially with kane.

[The Optimist]

I still cant believe that fucking storyline. It was nothing....but he was like haunted by the movie release date.
If you're interested, you should look into his "biography" that came out right around May 19th that year. It rewrote alot of the storyline between him and the Undertaker and I think it includes the whole May 19th phenomena a little bit better.

LOL What I've said all along. This poor guys career is so cyclical its not even funny.

[Sepholio]

Maybe was referring to himself. He then convinces himself he is a dead man and insanity ensues as we wait for Taker, the real dead man, to return and fued with Kane. Kane loses.

[Outsider]

Booker T.

He was channel flicking and saw some TNA.

Vince doesn't tell them that people leave, he tells them that they died. TNA is actually a euphemism for hell in the WWE looker room.

So Kane is pretty damn confused as to why dead people were wrestling on his TV.

[MCEazy]

"On Monday's Raw, Kane turned heel after losing a World Heavyweight Championship number one contender's match by attacking commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler as well as several other ringside employees, repeating "Is He alive or is He dead?" Apparently, some people think Kane is talking about storyline father Paul Bearer, who was essentially murdered on television at the 2004 Great American Bash when Undertaker pulled a lever burying him in cement. On the following week's SmackDown, Bearer was acknowledged to be alive, although gravely injured, in a brief note from one of the announcers. So unless fans remember that brief mention on commentary, they probably think he's "dead" in the WWE world.

Since Monday's angle, his website has been flooded with traffic, not to mention that he's been getting a ton of e-mails. He commented on the situation on his blog with the following post:

ALIVE OR DEAD?

Mercy...
PP.com has had over 20,000 visitors since WWE RAW went off the air last night, and my mailbox has been bombarded with emails. The question of the day seems to be...
"Was Kane's rampage last night about his cemented Father Paul Bearer?"

Sorry, but I can't answer that one. Interesting storyline, isn't it?

Be Blessed.

~Percy"

[NoRoolz]

Kane loses to everyone.

Even Kane. :(

[thedamndest]

Seems like Kane would have Paul Bearer's cell phone number.

[Kenny]

The sad thing is that so many others follow the same pattern.

Who here can honestly say they didn't know that Khali was going to start putting people over? What about Umaga? Snitsky?

When somebody comes in as an unstoppable monster, you can safely bet it won't be long until they are putting people over left and right.

The thing the WWE STILL doesn't get is that you can somebody over so many times using the same person, before that person is no longer able to put people over because they lose so much!

"By GOLLY! Mark Henry beat Kane!" Yeah, and so did Miz, Morrison, Umaga, Snitsky, Khali, Big Show, Batista, X-Pac, Chris Jericho, Tajiri, Spike Dudley (count out), and even himself!!! It's not a big deal anymore when somebody beats Kane.

But... I'm sure after his clean victory over Kofi Kingston on Raw in the upcoming weeks we're supposed to assume he's unstoppable again. So when he loses to John Cena we're supposed to make a big deal out of it.

[Fox]

Kane is like that big bully in the schoolyard. He picks on the little guys who can't defend themselves (Cole, JR, Spike, Hurricane, etc) and beats the living shit out of them, but when it comes to the popular kids and shit he doesn't stand a chance. That works for certain characters, but not an "unstoppable man monster" like our supposed Kane.

What they need to do is have him beat the shit out of one of RAW's top faces (not Punk for the love of God) like Cena, HBK, Batista, or someone like that, and make him look totally dominant. Then he can lose the PPV by a millimeter. And keep building him that way.



That or give him an Orson Welles gimmick and have him pretend to be Charles Foster Kane, long silk robe, wooden pipe and all. Make some black and white vignettes of him, in the past, talking to Katie Vick, throw in a storyline about a sled from his past and you've got a WrestleMania 25 main event.

[Lock Jaw]

I think its leading to Kane breaking out a guitar and entering into a rousing rendition of Iron Man.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I very highly doubt that.

After watching it again, I'm sure it is along the lines of Anybody Thrilla/Noid thought's: Kane is talking about himself as a monster. He snapped after he lost, and after a few moments to think about how pathetic he was becoming.

Doesn't make much sense for him to randomly start thinking about Taker (or any person other than Kane for that matter) after he loses a match.=/

I agree with myself/Noid as well. Also, I think this would be the most entertaining outcome of all this. I am sick of Kane/Undertaker matches. They've never been good.

Also, has there been any talk about Paul Bearer returning at all anyway?

[Kenny]

Maybe he was talking about Imposter Kane? Being on Raw again reminded him that he did get his mask back, but he completely forgot about the tights.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would mark the fuck out of Kane taking on CTC all by himself. It'd never happen, but I would fucking love it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/special/kanewhoishe/

LOL at some of those possibilities. By the way, I am with Anybody Thriller now, and thinking Kane was referring to himself.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Seems like Kane would have Paul Bearer's cell phone number.

If you're legally dead, it becomes harder to get a phone contract.

[Fox]

-- In a strange twist, deceased rapper 2Pac is leading WWE.com's poll asking fans who Kane was referring to last Monday on Raw. 2Pac leads the poll with 43.81% of the vote. Undertaker (31.35%) and Paul Bearer (10.55%) trail behind. Yesterday, 2Pac had under 10% of the vote.

LOL.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's not quite "Val Venis should be WWE Champion," but I approve of the statement this poll implies.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd mark out pretty hard for Kane being the first man to hold all three of the WWE's World Titles, by the way. I doubt it will happen, as I think Randy Orton or Batista will be taking the belt from Punk at Unforgiven or No Mercy, but Kane winning the big gold belt would be pretty cool. Hopefully it wouldn't be at the expense of Punk.

[Theo Dious]

If you're legally dead, it becomes harder to get a phone contract.

Please. My grandfather has been dead for ten years and he's always getting mail begging him to get a cell phone.

I'm going with Pete Rose, btw. I haven't seen him in years.

[Xero]

What about that monkey Kane chokeslammed?

Maybe Donkey Kong is finally going to debut.
