The Kane Appreciation Thread
You know, being psyched about Kane's return, I went to read about his success in the WWE on Wikipedia. When I was done reading it, I was really surprised to see just how successful he's been given a big memory I have of him is how quickly he lost the title to Steve Austin in the 1990's.
But I have a new perspective after reading this. Quote:

well I did say he'd look stupid bald with a mask on. Looks like they've got some sort of wig stapled to him lol.

Just watched the video of the imposter Kane thing from a few years back. Luke Gallows didn't really get all the mannerisms down too well did he? And the wig they gave him was terrible.

Are we only supposed to say good things about Kane in this thread? I never liked Kane. He's been in some terrible feuds, hasn't had many great matches (I can't even think of one right now), and his character got stale about 12 years ago (except when he lost his mask in 2003. He was interesting for a couple of months then).

I TOLD YOU ALL!!!!
My roommates who use to be wrestlin fans when they were kids but grew up, were pretty psyched by the return of the masked kane. It gives this PG bullshit some edgyness, darkness. However, the new mask is garbage, bring back the old mask. |

Back to said topic....
question... is Kane the only guy who can make heel turns or attack whoever he wants and the explanation of "because its Kane" is believable? |

Not even reading this thread. Like, seriously. I did Kane promos in my acting class, I have the Kane mask tattoo, I read the damn Kane fake biography a few times, his theme is my alarm clock... I've been a Kane fan since his idea came around. Not even Glen Jacobs. Just the idea of him.

Was really hoping that FourFifty had come in here to say he never liked Kane after the JBL fiasco.

Kane gives some pretty awesome promos. Kane was actually the performer who got me hooked on wrestling. I was instantly drawn to the character (I think I liked how he was turned into a monster, and lost his face -- adding sympathy to him), and his performance in the 2001 Royal Rumble came as a surprise to me, and supported my interest to the product.
So yeah, you bitches can all hate Kane for my Noid posts. He's been a damn solid competitor for pretty much the entire duration of his career, and although his storylines have often been silly, and he's never had a classic match or headlined a WrestleMania; I do agree that the guy has had a Hall of Fame career. But it's not over yet, and this last run might breathe some new life into the Kane character. |

Repost of mine from an old thread asking "Would Kane have made it to the level he did if it wasn't for the Kane character?":
It's hard to say. I think the bigger question is whether or not the Kane character would have gotten over as well as it did without Glenn Jacobs? WWE has done everything they can to kill this character, but he keeps making it work somehow. Let's chronicle the destruction of the Kane character: - He's a disfigured, mute monster who is horrifically burned over his entire body! - Oh, well maybe only about 80% burns. - Also, he can talk, but he needs a voice box. - Actually, screw the voice box. He can say a word or two. - Hell, have him cut a full promo. - Burns weren't as bad as we thought. Put him in a mesh tank top. - That mask he's wearing? The iconic one that's been the key to his gimmick for years? Let's have that removed on a non-hyped match on RAW sometime. But at least let's put some make up on him to make him ugly. - Nobody brought the make up tonight? I don't know, just put a hand towel on his head. - ...screw it, just do what you want Then of course add him fighting some weird, alternate-earth Kane and never explaining why. To survive that pussification of your monster character and still a mid-high tier guy? Epic. And to add to all that, let's not forget the Lita/Divas storyline/s, Katie Vick and him arbitarily showing up last Monday with his mask. |

Glad he has the mask back, and I like his new music - his previous theme sounded like generic, public domain haunted house music.
However, mask and music aside, I thought his new outfit was terrible. It looked like a bunch of rejected scraps from his previous costumes stitched together at the last minute. Those flames on his leg looked especially cheesy. |

It honestly looks incomplete, along the lines of Shawn Michaels' attire at Survivor Series 2002. Like they had the seamstress start on it just as RAW went on the air or something.

3 PPVs of shitty matches with Taker and then probably the worst storyline of the last 2 years with Edge?

His story and matches with Taker were Awesome. Shut up.
The Edge stuff was indeed terrible, though. |
