Well...let's see. Kane was wearing a black towel over his head, which doesn't allow you to fully see his face very well. Plus, he doesn't exactly want to be seen and has been beating up people badly backstage.
I know that if I were Austin and Kane believed that he was ugly and could snap at any moment, I wouldn't want to look him right in the face either, for fear that he might snap and chokeslam him though the office table with his bad neck. It did seem as if Austin would look at his face and then look away, almost in disgust...but it could have been caution. He never outright stated that Kane was hideous, did he.
