If you didnt see Raw, stay away.

I warned you, this has spoilers, I dont want to see this locked because some dumbass cant read.




















Last chance to back away..
























Oh well, now you've gone too far...




So, we now know that the burlap bag contained the mask of not Kane, but Rey Mysterio. Now.. I dont know about you, but when I saw this, I had a WTF moment. Honestly, is there even a reason to put Kane and Mysterio in a storyline together at this point? I mean, the E could've easily made it what everyone wanted to see, and what everyone expected, and that being Kane going back to the sick, sadistic monster behind the mask, and once again bring a little bit of the attitude era back. But why do that? I mean, its only going to make people mark out right? So lets go a completely different angle and lets throw a replica Mysterio mask in there at the last second, and lets see what happens.

IMO this is stupid. It really doesnt make any sense to put the two in a feud.

Thoughts?

I think it'll play as
"Kane.... I know you switched the sacks.... now, tell me what REALLY is in those bags..."

[Mr.GT]

When he took the mask out all i could say was...

"THATS GAY!"

[Gore]

I thought the bag seemed stiffer, like it had a hard mask in it the past few weeks, and seemed almost empty this week. I'm hoping Kane did what he did to outsmart Adamle, knowing he would meet him in the ring and want to see what was in the bag, so he left the real contents behind.

co-sign...


Still, I'm kinda interested in a Mysterio/Kane feud.

i really hope your right...

this was also a 'WTF moment' for me.

[dgnr8]

Although I wanted nothing more than for Kane to go back under the mask, I very seriously doubt it will happen at this point. Now that they've done this, there seems to be little hope of seeing it happen at all.

You have to understand how Vince thinks. Vince is all about moving forward with the company. If you go back and do something you've already done then you're moving backwards, so even if people want to see it, it probably still won't happen. Why do you think when they use a recycled storyline they sell it as "History in the making" and "The very first time anyone has ever..."?

I was hoping that security would get in the ring after Kane refused, surround him and the lights go out. The lights come back on and Kane is wearing his old mask and he cleans house.

[the franchise]

I find it interesting that every time Vince pulls a swerve everyone seems to complain. Mask or no mask Kane would still be the same old boring thing. I give credit to Vince for doing something different. Perhaps Rey will return without his mask again.

Kane should clean his house, it's filthy.

I feel the same way. I don't get how Kane regaining his mask will make him interesting when he isn't.

[Deleted]

If Kane comes out in Rey's mask, I would mark out just because it would be too funny.

[JCF]

Raw was ok I thought. It had lots of proper build up for Summerslam, Cena & Batista lost the belts they didn't need, JBL & Punk had an amazing promo, and we finally saw Kane's bag being opened. Sure the Rey mask didn't make sense NOW, but it'll play out well. By next week everyone will love the storyline again. What sense did it make for Kane to wear a mask again?? None.

i was thinking the same thing earlier..

[WalterF]

I found it dissapointing myself. Very anti-climactic and boring. I have no probem with a Kane/Rey feud, but the build for it is very intellectually- disabled and misleading.

[B.D. & El G.]

Why is no one else interested that Kane said Rey Mysterio is scarred? C'mon people, it was still good, even if it wasn't Kane's old mask!

[Calcifer Boheme]

Why does everyone want Kane to go back under the mask? That pandora's box has been opened, and you can't go back...


However, it being Rey's mask is great...

Firstly, this makes him more of a monster than something as trivial as putting on his old mask.

He thinks he has killed a man and is excited about it... And even if he knows Rey is alive, he scarred him beyond repair.

That is some pretty sick stuff.

Maybe I'm the only one who remembers athat for a decent while before Kane lost the mask, he was not sick, he was more comedy thean anything... The Kanenites? (That was great though)

[robby.blade]

I'll wait a few weeks to see where this angle goes before I jump to conclusions on if it sucks or not.

[HugoOne]

I'm gonna have to say it again. Kane going back to the mask would be completely idiotic.

You want him to go back to being a monster? Why, so we can have even MORE squash matches like Khali and the Russian already do? Didn't he just destroy Noble a couple weeks ago anyway? He's bald, he'll look ridiculous. Just get over the Attitude thing, it's dead and gone for a reason. If things stayed the same, it would get boring fast.

It's not like he was a better wrestler under the mask anyway. He's exactly the same. People just hold onto something they enjoyed in the past and want the nostalgia back. As soon as he would put it back on, people would just flop as they do and say, "It was dumb for them to put the mask back on!"

Really, it's been ONE DAY. Give them a bit to explain the reasoning behind it. They can't give it all away at once. And at least it gives a kayfabe explanation as to where Mysterio went after the draft. It'll be a fresh feud at least and something interesting. Fans just need to give it a chance before they crap on it, and accept that things didn't go the way they wanted to and get over it.

[Eskimo Joe]

I usually give WWE a chance with these kinds of things, but it has just been so long since there has been a decent angle involving Kane's character. Let's look at the track record for the past couple of years...

-Kane rapes and impregnates Lita
-He is somehow turned face when Snitsky kills her baby
-He carries around a massive hook because he was in a movie with it
-He fights fake Kane because his movie came out on the same day he burnt his face

The last time there was a cool angle centered around his character was in 2003 when he burried the Undertaker alive at Survivor Series. Maybe he has beaten and massacred Rey (which would add some much needed freshness to his character) or maybe he's outsmarted Adamle. Both would be kind of cool, but as of tonight I feel like the whole thing was a let down.

[CBT]

Fickle.

Seriously, I guess it's true to be a part of the IWC, you really have to be angered and pleased.

Everyone upset and wanting Kane to have his mask back, knows full well that they'd think "now what" once it's back. Kane's mask just being popped back on isn't like Superman's cape.
