Should Kane return unmasked?

[CM Steel]

Kane is away shooting "See no evil 2" for WWE studios. But after the film wraps up production. Should Kane return unmasked? He hasn't had muck luck with it back on since he re-debut it early last year. And everybody now knows what Kane looks like without his mask on. But Kane should atlease keep his hair this time around. Or have it cut to the same length as his "brother" the Undertaker.

What do you think?

Bit difficult for him to keep the long hair as he is actually bald now, other than wearing a wig which I don't see any wrestler doing anytime soon then it will have to be a masked Kane.

He's not bald his head was shaved there's a pic I think this sited a few months ago talking to someone not in character with hair. I don't think Kane should come back unmasked unless they make a part of a story otherwise I'd like if he spent the rest of his years masked.

There was talk of possibly putting Kane & Bray Wyatt in another match at HIAC, with Kane returning very soon. That was a little while back, however, and there was a Tweet put out by Bray Wyatt that suggests Kane will return as a member of The Wyatt Family. Yesterday, while answering a Tweet from a fan in which the fan suggested that Kane had already fallen to Bray Wyatt, Wyatt replied: "Kane didnt fall, he was chosen. Rebirth"

Fan speculation of Kane joining them began with the fact that he was carried off by Harper & Rowan after his match with Wyatt. Personally, I think it's really the only thing that makes sense. Kane would be a good addition to Wyatt's family, he's a long established veteran with a ton of credibility. I also think he should come back wearing nontraditional gear, as it's how the other family members go about it, but with some variation of the mask. All the other members have something about their look that helps them stand out in a way. With his size along with that big beard, sheep mask and coveralls, Rowanlike a redneck psycho from a slasher movie. Harper's size along with his greasy hair & beard, dirty jeans & sweaty wife beater looks like the embodiment of every scary hillbilly stereotype there is. Wyatt himself comes off as a mix of spiritual redneck preacher, charismatic cult leader and eloquent public speaker with a dash of schizophrenia tossed in. Kane having a similar look but having a mask variation he wears could help him stand out in his own way.

i would like to see kane return with hair and no mask but i just don't think he would look like a horror or a "devil"

off topic but am i the only one who thinks kane will return and join the bray wyatt family, maybe bray brainwashed him or something

I'd keep the mask on and make him a monster again. When he first appeared with it after years of showing us his face, it seemed he was going to be the Kane of old, walking alone through WWE and wiping out anything in his path. It's ironic how Creative turned him into a face, displaying touchy-feely tendencies toward Daniel Bryan after their sensitivity training sessions. I mean......Kane? He convinced me he could play any part the company needed.

Still, he was terrific in the role, even while wearing the mask. I'd keep it on and cast him as a inhuman monster again. I can see him "under the influence" of Bray and his swamp rats. He'll "out-crazy" all of 'em, which is really saying something.

Nah, the mask is fine. It's the way the character was always meant to be. And what was wrong with Kane's last run? His tag team run with DBryan was awesome.

At this stage of his career Kane does not need to chase gold and main events. He helps the young talent get over and teaches them a thing or two and is always great to have on the show. Guys like Kane or worth their weight in gold to the WWE. Kinda like Jericho. No need to prove anything to anyone anymore. Just enjoy the twilight of your career and help the next generation while you're at it.

His legacy is intact no matter what (despite the 594.321 random face/heel-turns) and fans will always love to see him.

I can understand people wanting him to be a monster, but let's face it - the fans don't want to hate him. They respect him too much. That's why his monster runs never last too long. At this stage of his career he is actually better suited for the kind of comedic stuff he did with Bryan.

You are aware that the hair coming from the mask is a wig, right? He left bald, and then when he came back with the mask, you want people to believe that he grew hair down past his shoulders, in a matter of a couple of months. Ummmmm, no. It is hair sewn into the mask to make it look real.

 

[thebowtiekiller]

when he returned masked the hair was obviously a wig but that was a couple of years ago now and i saw a pic where he was speaking at some political do and it looked like his hair was long and tied back so i dont think its a wig now.but anyways i think if the plan is still for him to return as part of the wyatts he should return masked but it should resemble leatherfaces mask as should his character it would be pretty awesome imo he could be like there brainwashed enforcer mayby leading to an angle where taker shows up to snap him out of it.

I'll bet you a dollar to a dime that Kane will return as a member of the Wyatt Family. Their gimmick has had a fast fizzle and Kane's return will revive them a little.

 

[The Grizz]

I agree Kane will return as a member of the Wyatt family.

I would like to see him return as a Deep South monster like Tiny in the Devils Rejects, or Leather Face.

The new all around gimmick would help in his role in the Wyatt Family, and also be a huge payoff when he returns to his old gimmick, mask, or no mask.....

 

[Da Solo]

Honestly, I loved Unmasked Kane a lot more than masked. His initial reign of terror against RVD and Shane was the greatest monster heel run I've ever seen aside from Henry's WHC climb, and when he finally got one over on Taker, he was pure evil. He just seems so much more menacing when he's visible. Especially if they're gonna return him as a Wyatt. The baldness could pull off a hillbilly-cult vibe.

 

[MCMG]

Having the mask on strengthens his gimmick which is important for his feud with Wyatt. I personally think that he might slightly change his attire after Wyatt takes him as his own. I'm not sure what they could do but even a different type of mask might work.

 

[RicSpade]

I think Kane can only come up unmasked is if his gear changes, and so does his character. This brainwashing is a determination of Kane maybe going Abyss = Joeseph Park route. Think about it a civilized society Kane is almost brilliant without a mask then when its time for him to turn on him he snaps back into a sadistic Kane, its almost so brilliant it writes itself (pay attention WWE). Otherwise I think its important to stay the course Kane has with the mask, but Kane needs a better ring gear. and mask the red face mask just isn't intimidating anymore.

 

[Pedigree1]

I have said this and will say it again! Kane needs his mask,the old school Kane! The true Demon needs to return the one that never talked and was harder than hell to bring down. He definitely will make an awesome addition to the Wyatt Family I for one Cant wait!

Rebirth Bray Wyatt says lets hope so! I love the Wyatt Family,a bit crazy is an understatement Kane will add flavor to that!

 

[Aquaman6686]

Kane's best work was the maskless period. The only people who preferred masked Kane are Attitude Era fanboys who can't accept that the Attitude Era is long over and never coming back. Maskless Kane was a better talker, had better storylines, and the majority of his best matches were during that period. Kane needs to ditch the mask, come back and wipe out the Wyatt Family in a Handicap Match, and go one to have one last reign as World Heavyweight Champion before he retires.

 

[Cap'n Charisma]

Kane should come back masked... but not with his mask. He should come back with the mask that Rowan wears, as a part of the Wyatt family! Brainwashed, Wyatt should turn him into the monster he once was, where he doesn't speak and just demolishes everything in his path. He'll become Wyatt's new puppet until eventually he breaks free of Wyatt's grip and turns on the family and sets up an epic feud with them.

One can hope right?

 

[5000]

I say yes because it's time for him to retire and go in the HOF and I don't see him getting inducted at the HOF in a mask and a suit if he was to go in in any mask it would be the original attire but I think Kane should have one last heel turn one last fast turn a match at Mania then retire how would his HOF profile look on wwe.com with that attire

 

[Turnz05]

How creepy would it be if Kane returned in his old WWF gear, and hard as nails to beat character from 1997/1998, but wearing the Sheep mask that Erick Rowan wears over the top of his old WWF mask during Wyatt Family entrances.

He was owned by the corporation in 1999 and so being owned by the Wyatt's isn't out of the realms of possibility. He doesn't need to talk. He just needs to do Bray Wyatt's bidding until the Royal Rumble/Elimination chamber where he breaks free and sets up an epic match with Bray at Mania.

 

[Big Monty]

to answer the OP's question - NO!!!

Kane has always been a top favorite of mine, so I admit being biased in my assessment, but I absolutely hated when he became unmasked, i thought it took away some of the mystery of his character...

I agree with others on here, either bring back his original gear and character and make him such a bad ass it's virtually impossible to bring him down one one one, or have him wear some variation of the mask should he assume the Wyatt "enforcer".

 

[CM Steel]

I just knew that it was a matter of time when Kane finally took off his mask! It happened last night on RAW when Kane handed it to Stephanie McMahon-Levesque. With the film "See No Evil 2" coming soon, I can see why the WWE made this move to help promote the movie. And it's just "Good for Business" right?
