Next week he should pull out that ridiculous headdress thing that Rey wore at Wrestlemania Whatever.

darkpower, don't you mean 2005? ECW didn't even do pay-per-views in 1995. :P

HOLY SHIT! I JUST REALISED SOMETHING!!! SPOILERS IN BLACK!!! HIGHLIGHT TO READ!!!

I believe this is the first thread of mine to reach 100 replies. :rofl:

If Kane ever puts the mask back on, there should be a proper build up and a reason that makes sense.... not just "if Kane puts the mask on, he becomes even more of a monster than he already is". It's the whole "Mick Foley isn't a glorified broken-down jobber when he wears a different T-shirt" thing again.

Maybe if something tragic happened to him over a series of events that broke him down to a shadow of his former self, culminating in some horrific facial injury that put him on the shelf for a few months, and upon his return he is masked and badass again... that would be more understandable.

But, again, if they were to do that and inevitably take it off again they'd need to explain the lack of real injury... Again.

they could have him kill Mysterio, and don his mask which would give him luchador powers

OR... they could have him kill Mysterio, and don the mask. ;)

Kane could put the mask on his 6 foot dick and be like Johnny Knoxville's character in MIB2.

Wait, so did they just completely ignore the angle this week? Don't see anything in the results.

My guess, heel turn by the new music he has, i actually liked his new theme, a remixed/better version of his old theme when he wore his masked "Burned" was the title of his old theme

That's pretty much exactly my problem with it. I got pissed off when Rey came off an epic feud with Eddie Guerrero, and then suddenly became the only guy who loved him, judging by how he got pushed after Eddie's death. Rey suddenly becoming a champion of Mexican tradition would not sit well with me.

But Afterlife, you were sort of right. My hat's off to you. Now you can say that you are as smart as a WWE writer. Watch out, Freddie. :p

Seriously, though, it sounds like the WWE just scavenged to put something together out of this. Even though your idea was good, and the WWE seems to be doing something similar to it (without the unmasking Rey and Oscar stuff), I'm still finding it riddled with holes and played expectations that led nowhere but disappointment. I still think it's the WWE shocking for the sake of shocking, and then somehow needing to land it.

Also, putting Kane in a mask wouldn't necessarily be a reversion. You're into keeping your mind open. There are plenty of ways to get a mask on Kane, and it act as a step forward. New music, new costume, new mask and a new dominant streak with a story behind it all. There are plenty of ways they could do it.

Fucking raw results in the headlines, are missing the entire Kane segment.

He came out and said he beat up Rey in a parking lot 6 weekas ago. Rey is slim blah blah blah. His spirit is dead. Blah Blah Blah. I'm going to be Dominics pappie now. Blah Blah Blah. New theme music. Blah Blah Blah. Etc.

I'd like to see Kane with new attire, by the way. His attire lacks fire, which has a pretty big significance with Kane.

I now don't think the mask is really needed for Kane, anymore. I mean, before when I thought it was what he had in his bag that it was what he needed. But I liked what I saw of this new Kane. Keep going with this new deranged persona and theme music, and perhaps also give him new attire to fit his persona. Maybe cover him up again. At least give him a shirt.

I'm liking this kane storyline/his new music, i think i prefer this over getting his old mask back. Gotta agree with afterlife on this one.

Well, I am liking that they are going somewhere with Kane. I don't feel that he needs the mask back, specifically, but he could just use a stronger direction. The mask would accomplish this (it's like a wrestler turning face/heel, it just freshens them up), but this more psychopathic direction for Kane seems to be getting the job done.

I'd mark out for him killing Rey, that's all I'm going to add.

Allow me to translate for those of you who cannot read more than one line of text per Noid post:

"Kane = good, no mask needed... could be used, but psycho-ness = greatness, Rey needs to die"

I'm interested to see what they do with rey now to, since he's been 'tortured and scarred beyond all human recognition'

I dunno it sounds like they might turn rey in to a dog or something.

I'm not a big fan of the new music, but it does fit him. I like that he's getting the red lights again, that was always a big part of the entrance for me. I don't think he needs the mask back (it wouldn't necessarily be bad), but new attire is a must. He's been wearing the same pants forever and he needs to change along with this new character. And he could use a shirt, kinda like the one he wore in 2003 (I think that's the year) when he had the smaller mask.

Don't think i would like him wearing a shirt, would make no sense really. Also his theme is just fine. :)

In honor of the new Kane:
