Kane: Re-Dawning The Mask/1 More Title Run

[go_patriots11]

So I Was feeling nostalgic and decided to watch Kane's debut on youtube and it had me thinking. I've always liked Kane, but hate what WWE is doing with him right now. I think he deserves better than that. Espescially with WWE's top guys seemingly on the decline and close to retirement. Kane is no spring chicken himself either, and I'm not sure how much longer he will be around for. He's probably content where he is right now but I think WWE could do so much more with him, I say I'd take him as champion over Miz, Orton, Cena anyday!
So What do you think? Does Kane have one more title run in him, In a long shot will he re-dawn the mask? Even one more step further, I know this is pure wishful thinking but could he bring back the CASKET MATCH?

 

[Nate DaMac]

No. We got the Title reign we had been wanting for years and while it was nice to see it, it shouldn't happen again. He is where he needs to be, putting over younger guys. That is it.

The whole "bring the mask back" shit is waaaaay old now. It would be ridiculous at this point, not to mention that it wouldn't help anything. Is putting the mask back on suddenly going to put him back in shape? Is it going to make him good in the ring again? No, not likely.

Kane is one of my all time favorites but favoritism doesn't lead me into delusion. Kane's not a top dog anymore, he's there to make the young guys look good.

 

[poppycock]

Not caring about the business side of things anywhere near as much as the kayfabe (I want to be entertained side of things) I would love to see the Kane character destroy everybody in his path and either become Champion or be involved in a really good storyline instead of putting young talent over. I would like to see the mask come back too, why not. I don't really see it being too hard to achieve.. just needs to be done right. We all knew it was Foley behind the mask and knew what he looked like but that never made Mankind anyless believable.

I do agree with nate about him not being in as good a shape as he was back then but even with that it would be fun..at least for a while (just one more time before all he can do is put young guys over)

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Kane had his run with the World Heavyweight Championship, and I don't think he should wear the strap again.

As far as the story behind Kane's WHC reign goes, it worked and it made sense. Kane wanted to be World Champion, but the only man who was standing in his way was his brother, The Undertaker. Kane had to take out Taker to become WHC. He was tired of being in his brother's shadow, and these two men went on to have a personal feud. Kane VS Taker sounded like a good feud, because it was dubbed as "Brother VS Brother." Although, I was glad WWE decided to end this at Bragging Rights, because this feud wasn't that good, and Kane VS Taker has been done to death over the years. Feuding with his storyline brother helped boost some interest in Kane as champion, but it seems as if Taker is taking a backseat now, and he isn't around on a regular basis, so you can't count on Taker VS Kane again.

Kane had his one run with a World Championship, but I think he's doing a lot better as a Tag Team Champion with The Big Show. He's past the point of being "the guy." His heel character wasn't bad last year, but he really shouldn't be in the main event at this stage of his career. Other heels on Smackdown(Sheamus, Cody Rhodes, Ezekiel Jackson) need a chance to shine, because Smackdown needs to create some top bad guys for the future.

As far as the mask thing goes...no...just no. Kane doesn't need to wear the mask again. We all know what he looks like now, so the mystery of the disfigured person under the mask is gone. The mask isn't going to help him transform into the old Kane, and there really is no point for him to wear it again.

 

[poppycock]

I disagree with certain points made by the post above. There is no reason kane should not still be a main eventer. He can still move and it is still believable as a character that he can be one of the top guys. I am all for making way for the up and coming talent when it's time (otherwise you get a WCW situation) but you have to let the talent develop before all the old timers become "put young talent over" wrestlers. It's not like he has reached the Flair stage yet..I still feel he could have another year or two left in him. Actually let some of this young talent grow so when they do eventually use the kanes and Bigshows to get over they are actually interesting enough to take the torch. Unlike now when every boring underdeveloped new comer gets pushed to the top then lost in a mist of not having any real character built up and no selling points/history. The other point I disagree with is the fact we know what he looks like..so what. Like I said we knew Mankind was Foley/Cactus Jack. Most already knew Kane was Yankem. He could get burnt (Kayfabe) again.

Anyway I see why people are meh about it and are not for it but I for one would be entertained.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

As much as I would love to see Kane put on the mask again before certain retirement, I think it's a no-go. The mask really didn't do anything for Kane's career except dehumanize his character. And that was what it's intention was for, but like many mask wearing heels over time (Mankind, Abyss, etc.) the promotion felt like they needed to refresh his character by making him a humanized, somewhat loving simpleton face. That's when his career started sloping, getting thrown in teams with The Hurricane and Rob Van Dam (guys he would have ate up in the 90's). I think since taking off his mask, he has been a truer version of what he was back in his Taker/Bearer days, if just a little bit more charismatic. Not a machine, but an actual monster.

WWE has handled Kane's character as well as they ever could. Hell wasn't his gimmick pretty much just feeding off the already known Undertaker's? Not using a term like piggybacking, but Kane is as successful as he ever could dream in his career right now.

He's old, and should be putting others over now. Like I said, I liked his mask-wearing days, but it's not needed at this point in his legacy. And besides, there is something else to consider:

Masked Kane's WWE Title Reign: 1 Day

Unmasked Kane's World Title Reign: 5 Months (making him the 3rd longest reigning World Champion in WWE History)

I know the championship props do not mean much to some, but WWE must have felt more confident in an unmasked Kane's ability to draw as champion compared to a masked Kane.

FOR ALL THOSE WHO SAY THE MASK SHOULDNT COME BACK..WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING ? IN WHAT WORLD IS A 7FOOT TALL "BIG RED MONSTER" BROUGHT BACK FROM A BURNING HOME SUPPOSED TO BE A FACE? YOU PEOPLE WHO CHEER FOR HIM WOULD RATHER SEE HIM DOING THE SANTINO TRUMPIT DANCE INSTEAD OF BEATING THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE..WE GET ENOUGH OF THAT SILLY CRAP FROM BIG SHOW . OLD GUYS LIKE KANE SHOULDNT BE PUTTING ANYONE OVER. IF ALL THESE NEW YOUNG TALENT WANT TO BE PUSHED AND TAKE OVER SPOTLIGHTS..THEN CREATIVE TEAMS NEED TO DO JUST THAT AND "CREATE". WWE AINT WRESTLING ITS ENTERTAINMENT..MEANWHILE EVERY STORY LINE SUCKS. GOOD WORK FOR ALL THAT MONEY VINCE IS GIVING OUT

 

[Sparky]

FOR ALL THOSE WHO SAY THE MASK SHOULDNT COME BACK..WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING ?

Nothing. I gave up over a week ago.

IN WHAT WORLD IS A 7FOOT TALL "BIG RED MONSTER" BROUGHT BACK FROM A BURNING HOME SUPPOSED TO BE A FACE?

And when in the last five years have they brought that up? It's the WWE dude, they expect people to forget what happened every five years.

YOU PEOPLE WHO CHEER FOR HIM WOULD RATHER SEE HIM DOING THE SANTINO TRUMPIT DANCE INSTEAD OF BEATING THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE..

No I wouldn't. I'd much rather the "Monster" Kane. But putting the mask on him is not going to do anything but give a nostalgia feel to him. It would wear off after a month or two.

WE GET ENOUGH OF THAT SILLY CRAP FROM BIG SHOW . OLD GUYS LIKE KANE SHOULDNT BE PUTTING ANYONE OVER.

What? If it wasn't for the "old" guys putting the younger ones over, the younger ones would be flopping around the ring like fish out of the water.

YOU MISSED MY POINT. YEA THEY CAN HAVE HIM PUTTING GUYS OVER BUT THAT SHOULDNT BE HIS MAIN REASON OF BEING IN THE RING. BE THE MONSTER..NOT A FAN FAVORITE.

 

[JGlass]

I disagree with certain points made by the post above. There is no reason kane should not still be a main eventer. He can still move and it is still believable as a character that he can be one of the top guys.

Did you watch his last title reign? I'll sum it up for you: he managed to get shitty matches out of Rey Mysterio, who has put on some of the best feuds and matches for years. He then moved on to the Undertaker, and once again, put on shit matches in a stupid feud, the high point of which was the return of a fat guy with more chins than a Chinese phone book. He'd then go on to have an even worse feud with Edge, and the bulk of their interaction took place as Edge kidnapped and wheeled terrorized the aforementioned multi-chinned wonder. Edge mercifully lifted the title off of Kane, and everyone slept a little better at night knowing we wouldn't see Kane in the main event anytime soon.

Truth is Kane can't move in the ring, he is not believable as a character, and he is not even close to being one of the top guys. The youth movement has been a raging success in that it's been able to push guys like he and Big Show, at one time very good wrestlers but now too old to compete at that level, with many entertaining new main event faces like Miz, Del Rio, CM Punk, John Morrison, and perhaps soon Cody Rhodes.

I don't understand why so many people want to see Kane dawn the mask again. Yes, it would be a nice little trip down memory lane for the fans that have been watching since Kane was going toe to toe with some of the WWF's finest wrestlers, but that's it. It's not going to restore his youth, it's not going to make him a more believable wrestling threat, and it's not going to make him catapult him into the main event.

The truth is, the WWE's target audience doesn't remember when Kane wore a mask, because they don't remember. The 8-15 year old kids that Vince McMahon is concerned with weren't watching WWE when Kane was unmasked. Hell, some of them weren't even born yet. So while the mask has some meaning to the older WWE fans–which in truth encompass most of the WWE's fanbase–it means nothing to the target audience, and therefore there is a very little chance of Kane putting his mask back on.

 

[Daniel.Wood]

The big thing for me is, if Kane put the mask back on someone similar can take his place (Ruben De Jong is so Kane like and recently signed for the WWE)

Kane can just go mental, killing everyone (not literally) and then eventually in a fued he kayfabe hurts his face and puts it back on. wrestling as Glen untill he retires. Then the mask/attire can be passed on to someone who uses the same move-set, and Kane carrys on.

That way Kane can be put over as immortal. I would simply mark out if that happened.

I enjoyed his recent fueds with The Undertaker and with Edge and I was glad to see Paul Bearer return for a short while. The whole storyline revolving around these guys has been and remains being one of my favourite aspects of the WWE since it began all those years ago and I am sure others feel the same. I don't put what happens in the ring above a good storyline when it comes to guys like Kane so if he has slowed down a bit really is not a problem in my eyes (I never watched the Kane character for his in ring ability).

Maybe the fact you don't understand why so many people want to see his mask appear and to you it would just be a nice short lived nostalgic gester means obviously you like others have a totally different mindset about this which is fair enough but not the same for all..I still find the character very believable and if he was given one last run as a masked monster (or unmasked) who destroyed half the roster including Orton, Morrison, Rhodes I would not question it and think wow that really could never happen in real life.

So what if the target audience do not remember Kane when he wore his mask?! Rhodes, Cara and Abyss all get on fine with a lot of todays younger fans..for Rhodes it's helped him as it is part of a good story..all kane would need is a good reason to wear the mask again and I am sure it would work with any target audiance.

Anyway if it never happens that is fair enough and the kane back then resided in more limit pushing times so maybe a dilluted masked Kane would not be anywhere near as effective as a monster but I for one would like to see it happen and I belive in never say never..especially if you don't work for the WWE or have a clue what is around the corner.

 

[ScruffDog]

Kane is one of may all time favorite wrestlers. When they took his mask off, I was so mad; I stopped watching wrestling for two years. Still it doesn't make any sense to put the mask back on him now, and even if they did, it wouldn’t put him bake in the Title picture.

Kane has always been the guy to push the younger talent; he is the obstacle everyone must past if they want to be a main evener. Kane and Show having the Tag titles now are great and, if it's done right, could revitalize the tag division.

Kane knows his role in the WWE, and he plays in beautifully. He is unselfish and every decision he make's, isn't what's best for him, but what’s best for the company. He having the Title isn't good for the company. What he'll do is dominate the Tag division for a while, until a legit team comes around and dethrones him. If this is done correctly, it will resurrect the Tag division, which would be great for the company.

Kane is the man, but if he’s ever in the title picture again, it’s just so a younger guy beat him, and get a huge push. Kane doesn’t need the title anyway, giving him the title dose nothing for his character, and added nothing to his legacy.

One of the stories I heard about Kane that really defines what he means to the company is this. Going into Wrestlemania XX, the original storyline was going to have Kane finally beat Taker, and end his Wrestlemania streak. It was Kane who went to management saying, No. He said that the streak was something to special to be broken, and he refused to end it. This story show’s again, that Kane wants to do what best for the business, not what’s best for himself, and for that, I say he’s one of the best.

Edge mercifully lifted the title off of Kane, and everyone slept a little better at night knowing we wouldn't see Kane in the main event anytime soon.

I know this is your opinion and all, but I feel like you missed an important point about his title reign: his mic work. I'm not gonna disagree that his matches with Taker were disappointing as they certainly were.

However what carried that feud was Kane's promo work. I asked in a thread a while ago whether Smackdown should incorporate post-production tricks to take advantage of it being a taped show, and with Kane they certainly did. The touch of adding music in the background as the promos gathered momentum was great, and added a touch of theatricality to everything which suited the characters involved down to the ground.

When you also consider what masked Kane sounded like when he first started speaking, and the promos I mentioned, the combination of re-masked Kane delivering terrific 5 minute monologues just wouldn't work as we wouldn't see Kane's subtle facial expressions.

That Kane got another title run at all when he had been written off for so long, and then having, to me at least, a solid run is remarkable in itself but I think it's asking too much for him to have another run now.

He and Big Show have good chemistry together and are 2 fan favourites holding the tag belts, so hopefully they can put over whoever wins the titles from them.

 

[Reddog1146]

I do not want ot see Kane put on the mask again ,that would just make no sense at all. I think he will just stay as a tweener in the mid card putting over the new big guys like Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan until his retirement and i am ok with it and i think he is too. He got his world title reign and held for a pretty long time defending it against Rey Mysterio, Undertaker three times in a row, and Edge. That is a pretty good way to end your WWE career.

 

[Notorious718]

Kane is at the stage of his career where he no longer needs to wear the world title nor should he. What he should be doing is putting over the younger talent. He already got the world title reign that we were all waiting for last year and it while the matches that came out of it might not have been five star, we saw arguably the best mic work out of Kane ever. I got shivers down my spine whenever Kane cut a promo during his world title reign. But that was then and this is now. Kane and Big Show are doing a good job as tag team champs so far. Whoever manages to take the titles off of them will get a good rub and instant credibility.

As for the mask, simply put he shouldn't wear it again and I don't understand why people want him to wear it again. As mentioned earlier we already know what his face looks like. It's not like he was the deformed monster he was when he unmasked years ago. What would putting the mask back on do for him? Improve his ring work? Get him back in shape? It would do nothing but give a nice nostalgia factor but that will only last so long.

 

[LSN80]

I enjoyed his recent fueds with The Undertaker and with Edge and I was glad to see Paul Bearer return for a short while. The whole storyline revolving around these guys has been and remains being one of my favourite aspects of the WWE since it began all those years ago and I am sure others feel the same. I don't put what happens in the ring above a good storyline when it comes to guys like Kane so if he has slowed down a bit really is not a problem in my eyes (I never watched the Kane character for his in ring ability).

Fair enough, but why wouldn't you watch the WORLD CHAMPION for his in-ring work? Im sorry, when I purchase a PPV, it's because I care about the performers in the ring, and the stories they tell with their work. I enjoyed Kane's mic work after Taker was put into a vegetative state as much as anyone here, but mic work can only take you so far. Im not sure I understand how one could enjoy his feuds after he became champion, specifically his feud with Edge. You actually enjoyed seeing face Edge kidnap and torment an obese Paul Bearer while the heel Kane cried and begged for his father's freedom?

Maybe the fact you don't understand why so many people want to see his mask appear and to you it would just be a nice short lived nostalgic gester means obviously you like others have a totally different mindset about this which is fair enough but not the same for all.

I don' speak for but J I can say this: I enjoy nostalgia as much as anyone, but nostalgia has an expiration date equal to milk. The Old School Raw was a fantastic concept that was executed perfectly, but it's not something Id want to see every week, or even more then once a year. If Kane had donned the mask for say that show, it would have been fine. But it would serve no purpose, the nostalia would wear off fast, and it wouldn't distract from the fact that he's slow and plodding in the ring. But the ring work doesn't matter to you as compared to the nostalgia factor, so take what Im saying with a grain of salt.

So what if the target audience do not remember Kane when he wore his mask?! Rhodes, Cara and Abyss all get on fine with a lot of todays younger fans..for Rhodes it's helped him as it is part of a good story..all kane would need is a good reason to wear the mask again and I am sure it would work with any target audiance.

The difference here is simple. Cara and Abyss have worn masks their entire careers, at least in-ring. In the case of Cara, he wears it out of the ring as well. Rhodes mask is part of a slow-burning storyarc with his character. I can't think of a plausible reason in this era that after all these years that Kane could put the mask back on, and have it be anything then groan-inducing. The mystique is gone. Nostalgia wears off quick.

Anyway if it never happens that is fair enough and the Kane back then resided in more limit pushing times so maybe a dilluted masked Kane would not be anywhere near as effective as a monster but I for one would like to see it happen and I belive in never say never..especially if you don't work for the WWE or have a clue what is around the corner.

And that's the problem. Masked Kane was built as an almot unbeatable monster. That has worn off as well. Kane loses more then he wins, and the etire point behind the mask was the disfigured, tormented, destructive monster underneath. Well, we've seen his face, and he's not disfigured. His face/heel turns every 4-6 months have all but eliminated the idea of a tormented monster that he once was, and the frequency of which he loses and the fact that he's lost virtually every feud he's been in over the past 5 years destroys the idea of an unbeatable monster. Even after he WON his feud with Undertaker, Edge quickly derailed that momentum, and the believability of him ever becoming that monster is less now then ever. So all you're left with is nostalgia, and I think Ive covered that pretty well. Heck no to the mask, or another championship run. His run in 2010 was that nostalgia, lifetime achievement award run. And what a quite crap run it was.

 

[The A]

I think its possible to do just have kane have another accident and maybe he'll come back around with the mask (for revenge on whoever did it) maybe one of the old timers and then you set up for a wrestlemania match or somethin like with him and taker at WM20. but i dont see a title run. they could do it if they want give him the WHC title maybe one more time but i doubt the mask ever comes back but who knows you know?

 

[JJohns]

YOU MISSED MY POINT. YEA THEY CAN HAVE HIM PUTTING GUYS OVER BUT THAT SHOULDNT BE HIS MAIN REASON OF BEING IN THE RING. BE THE MONSTER..NOT A FAN FAVORITE.

First of all, turn the caps lock key off. Please, thank you.

Now, you have to realize that Kane is over 40 years old, is getting ready to retire and wants to do it on his terms. Over the last 10 years, there's one thing that Kane has been, and that is looking at what's good for the business. What's good for the business isn't for him to become the Big Red Monster again. What's good for the business is for him to work with the younger guys like Hennig, Otunga and McIntyre who need the rub.

If WWE kept him as the Big Red Monster for now going on 14 years, the schtick would get really stale. Glen Jacobs (Kane) may be the second greatest gimmick performer in WWE history. He's constantly evolved the character from a 7 Foot Mute Wall of Death into "DX" Kane to Entertainer Kane to Jacob Goodnight to the character we have now.

The fact that he's had that longevity as the same character is a testament to how good he truly is. The fact that he's still in WWE to help the younger generation is a testament to how valuable of an asset he truly is.

He isn't a glorified jobber yet, but rather, he's this generation's Jake Roberts. The guy you have to beat to gain the respect needed to go after this generation's Hulk Hogan.

 

[Long Island Iced WXYZ]

So I Was feeling nostalgic and decided to watch Kane's debut on youtube and it had me thinking. I've always liked Kane, but hate what WWE is doing with him right now. I think he deserves better than that. Espescially with WWE's top guys seemingly on the decline and close to retirement. Kane is no spring chicken himself either, and I'm not sure how much longer he will be around for. He's probably content where he is right now but I think WWE could do so much more with him, I say I'd take him as champion over Miz, Orton, Cena anyday!
So What do you think? Does Kane have one more title run in him, In a long shot will he re-dawn the mask? Even one more step further, I know this is pure wishful thinking but could he bring back the CASKET MATCH?

Kane never should've gotten the last one he did.

He's not relevant anymore, no one cares about him.

Just keep him around to help elevate some of these younger guys.

 

[ABMorales787]

FOR ALL THOSE WHO SAY THE MASK SHOULDNT COME BACK..WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING ? IN WHAT WORLD IS A 7FOOT TALL "BIG RED MONSTER" BROUGHT BACK FROM A BURNING HOME SUPPOSED TO BE A FACE? YOU PEOPLE WHO CHEER FOR HIM WOULD RATHER SEE HIM DOING THE SANTINO TRUMPIT DANCE INSTEAD OF BEATING THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE..WE GET ENOUGH OF THAT SILLY CRAP FROM BIG SHOW . OLD GUYS LIKE KANE SHOULDNT BE PUTTING ANYONE OVER. IF ALL THESE NEW YOUNG TALENT WANT TO BE PUSHED AND TAKE OVER SPOTLIGHTS..THEN CREATIVE TEAMS NEED TO DO JUST THAT AND "CREATE". WWE AINT WRESTLING ITS ENTERTAINMENT..MEANWHILE EVERY STORY LINE SUCKS. GOOD WORK FOR ALL THAT MONEY VINCE IS GIVING OUT

Hey, just wanted to let you know. Santa Claus doesn't exist. It's really you parents leaving the presents. Oh, and wrestling is scripted. Kane never really burned his face. As a matter of fact, he just waxes off half of his head and shaves the rest. And his bad eye is actually a contact lens. Oh while were at it, Isaac Yankem wasn't really a dentist.

Sarcasm aside, Kane's mask is nothing more than a nostalgia artifact. It's not coming back any time soon and it's not really needed. The damage to Kane was done and there is no way to repair it. Whatever idiot thinks Kane shouldn't be putting talent over should just stay quiet and avoid looking like the idiot quoted above. Kane is beloved and relevant enough to go anywhere on the card. But age has gotten to him. If people want to see him get another run, shouldn't Big Show get one first? I mean he's also worked hard for years in WWE. But of course he should totally regrow his hair and redub himself The Giant before getting the title. Obviously. It just wouldn't seem right any other way.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Kane got his big title run last year. I doubt he will get another one, as he's been around for a long time and only had two. The ECW one does not count. I also doubt he will put the mask back on. Face it people, old Kane is long gone. Ever since Kane defeated Fake Kane we will never see that mask again. I liked masked Kane too but it won't happen. They teased a return of the mask in 2008 but then they ruined it with that horrible Kane/Mysterio feud instead. I don't think Kane will bring back the casket match, but if anyone on the current roster could bring it back its Kane due to being the (kayfabe) brother of Undertaker, who the match is associated with. That doesn't mean I think it will happen though.
