Happy Kane Day! Kane Appritiation Thread

the whole mystery mistique wouldn't exist anymore since we already know what he looks like and we already know anough about him

going back to "wearing a mask" doesn't work. Kinda like Rey, we already know what he looks like, you know what I mean?

reverting back to the past isn't really the evolution of the Kane.

I get what you're saying, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be about reviving the mystique of Kane, but more about reviving the bad-ass-ery that was the early years of Kane.

Right now he's a mid-carder. Even when he was the World Champion, I don't know if anyone really took him seriously as the champ - probably nothing further than "good for him, he deserves another reign." But we all knew it was nothing more than a thank-you run as the champ, and that it certainly wouldn't last.

I see my suggested angle as a face Kane getting totally screwed over by someone he trusts - kind of like the angle he did with Tori and X-Pac back in 2000, but to an even further degree. He gets wronged, stabbed in the back, and he disappears for a few weeks. Suddenly he returns in his old outfit, mask and all, and starts decimating everybody. Not even matches - just showing up in the middle of main event matches on RAW and totally shit-housing everyone - chokeslams through tables, knocking people unconscious, victimizing everyone in the most brutal ways possible.

They could do an interview segment where somebody tries to interview him mid-ring and he just doesn't speak. They say something like "We know you can talk, Kane, just tell us why you're doing this" and he just shakes his head and Chokeslams the interviewer to hell. Like he's reverted back to his old ways because of whatever wrong happened to him.

I dunno. I just think it'd be a fresh way to restart the Kane character. I don't really see what else they can do with him where he is now, and I believe the best way to bring him to a higher level is actually to go backwards to the grounds that he started on, and give the current generation of fans a taste of what Kane really was in the beginning.
