I wasn't so much meaning the direct version of Kane. I more meant the passing of the mask, to a new contender.
But I think you're right. Going along with the story that no one thinks Kane is playing both rolls sounds like a much better storyline to get involved with. This really looks like it will have a huge payoff at the end when it's revealed Kane was tricking everyone all along 'Yawn'
As stated in my previous post, I don't like this Wrestlecrap-ridden split personality rip-off storyline from the Joseph Park/Abyss angle any more than you do...Also, you failed to realize that by me posting the Kane vs Kane match was because that crowd reaction to Jacobs destroying Gallows was only because they hated the angle from the get-go since it made no sense. The crowd would easily turn on "Kane 2.0" just like they did as soon as Fake Kane made his debut for that atrocious, few week long angle.
I know precisely what you're getting at in having a new wrestler be "Kane 2.0"..I wouldn't be surprised if the fans hated that storyline more than they hated both The Undertaker vs Underfaker and Kane vs Kane storylines combined. As I also originally posted, the only people who should replace(but NOT duplicate) Kane at all should be his actual kids if they chose to be wrestlers, since writing them into the Brothers Of Destruction storyline would at least make some sense.
While your idea is (correct me if I'm wrong) Kane finds a random big man who just came up from NXT, basically tells him "Here's my sacred mask. Kick ass with it since I'm too old to be wrestling anymore". My point is that in the long run, it'd be a complete waste of time. Most fans would probably think "Why is this random NXT rookie being appointed as the new Kane?!" "Just because he's wearing Kane's mask I'm supposed to cheer him as the new Kane!?" and right there they'd have plenty reason to boo Kane 2.0 outta every arena he's in.
Not to mention as I also posted already, Jacobs made the Kane character so intriguing by not saying anything and letting his body language/mannerisms/ring psychology do all the talking for him, which worked very well at least from 97 til 2000 roughly. That's a huge reason why I'm saying "Kane 2.0" wouldn't work..You can't just go out there, try to duplicate a very unique character in Kane and then expect the fans to embrace "Kane 2.0".
Not only would it be very difficult for said NXT rookie big man to duplicate Jacobs' innate ability to let his actions/body language speak for him, Jacobs obviously was a deceptively agile guy despite being roughly 6'9 330lbs. That's another problem with giving some random NXT wrestler the "Kane 2.0" gimmick..There's very few big men as agile as Jacobs was in his prime and the chances of finding a big man in NXT who could duplicate Jacobs' agility, body language and his overall presence to a T is slim to none in chances of actually happening(along with said wrestler actually believing in the Kane gimmick the way Jacobs did, which was another major factor into why the Kane character go over so big during its first few years).
Now, I'll give you an example where a wrestler passing on the gimmick made sense...With Tiger Mask in Japan..Reasons as to why it worked so well for the Tiger Mask character in Japan-not only was Tiger Mask a highly popular Japanese manga comic well before the 1st Tiger Mask came along in 1981 but Tiger Mask had a few other things going for it that made it much easier to pass on the gimmick to another wrestler-All the Tiger Masks have had similar body types, movesets, etc which helped because the continuity was there. Today there's Tiger Mask V who's incorporated more MMA moves into his moveset but still uses original moves the first Tiger Mask used to do. Being that the Tiger Mask character was never so unique that it couldn't be convincingly duplicated by another wrestler also helped tremendously in the long run.
Personally, instead of Kane pulling the Abyss/Joseph Parks angle that he's doing, he should simply be doing what he originally did(along with still chasing Rollins) in that Kane should be a tweener, interfering in random matches and decimating every wrestler(whether heel or face) in the ring. Also, much as I want Lesnar to decisively beat Taker at HIAC so that he can move on, Kane interfering in the HIAC would be worlds better than WWE dragging out the "split personality" Kane bullshit.
