Guest Kanenite#357 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 This is truly a sad time for Kane marks such as myself with the Kane character set to be killed off next Monday. One of the most unique and entertaining characters is going to be completely destroyed, and for what? A futile attempt to get that talentless piece of shit Mark Jindrak over? Cannon fodder for HHH while the writers try to find a way to get Goldberg over? Of all the opportunities that the WWF has botched over the years, the failure to fully realize the potential of Kane has got to rank among the worst. And what the hell are those idiots thinking in unmaksking the guy anyway? Don' t they realize that will utterly obliterate his mystique and destroy whatever heat he has? Haven't they learned by now that Glen Jacobs cannot get over when everyone can see his face? Didn't Rey Mysterio's career go into a death spiral when he got unmasked a few years ago? Can't the WWF do anything right these days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Kane's gimmick sucked from the start. It was like something out of a soap opera. The Undertaker's scarred, thought dead brother returns for REVENGE~! Please. That lacks any creativity or originality. Not to mention Kane's "magic" powers (creating fire, summoning lightning, ect). It's a credit to Glen Jacobs that he somehow got over with it. As for his gimmick... good riddance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kanenite#357 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Kane's gimmick lacked originality and creativity? I challenge you to find another instance in the history of pro wrestling where a similar gimmick and epic storyline was used. And the "magic" powers were way cool too.

Can't the WWF do anything right these days? Yeah his gimmick was so cool. Being burned in a fire by his brother but only his face was burned and apparently not much as the mask got smaller. Jindrak is a talentless piece of shit? Jindrak was put on TV in his first year in wrestling, Kane's been around for about 10 or more years? What's Kane's excuse for not lighting up the ring himself? I think Invasion being botched was a BIT worse than unmasking Kane because his gimmick is stale. Destroy his mystique? I think by now everyone either knows or doesn't remember he was burned by a fire and that's why he wears a mask. Glen Jacobs without a mask can't get over? Gee how can anyone NOT get over being the dentist friend of Lawler or an imitation of Nash. Rey Jr's career was never above the TV title when he had the mask. When he lost it he beat Nash, Norton, and almost beat Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want me to show you a gimmick similar to Kane? How about Jason the Terrible from Stampede? If you want more you should check out all the "monsters" from the USWA. And the "magic" powers sucked.

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Kane has been an entertaining character........ But once that necrophilia crap came....he lost his credibility. C'mon.....a short while after he got that new attire....he could magically talk correctly again! They should have kept him the same... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Actually, he started talking normally when X-Pac said he didn't need the voice box device. His first non-box words were "Suck It" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I dont mind the costume but Cmon at least have someone call out on the missing burns... They stopped saying "His body was burned" while ago anyways and it's been "His face was burned" since then anyways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Kane was sickingly uncreative as it ripped off Soap Operas, B Horror Movies and Witchcraft tales... The Best Angle Kane was ever involved in was the DX/Corporation angle... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted June 19, 2003 My heart skipped a beat until I saw 1997-2003. I thought Glen Jacobs had died and someone absent-mindedly didn't say his real name instead of the gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Kane's gimmick died way before Katie Vick ever happened. His character died after his feud with the Undertaker ended. His was debuted to face the Undertaker. He did, and he lost at Wrestlemania 14. That's all she wrote. I'm surprized that he stayed above water this long truthfully.
