Why do people, namely don't like TNA ,think that Abyss is a copy of Kane? I personally don't see it.

Well,my guess would be the mask,family issoes,monster persona,and moveset.But to be honest he's become a man all his own.(I'd say he's more a Mankind+Kane ripoff)

Abyss runs funny.
I can't take anything he does seriously after watching him run across the ring. I'm sorry.
Yeah, this isn't really on-topic. Sorry 'bout that, too.

I'd say it's because he wears a mask, he is referred to as the monster, his entrance contains red lighting and pyro, he was managed by his father who was quite like paul bearer in appearance, he feuded with his half brother, he's meant to be mentally unstable and he uses the chokeslam regularly.

Why is it only supposed "TNA haters" that think this. I like TNA and I think Abyss is quite cool, but he's still a Kane rip-off.

Oh and add the obsession with pointy mental objects like barbed wire & thumbtacks, a la Mick Foley/Mankind/Cactus Jake, to the list of similarities . ;D

Don't forget all of the unnecessary bumps and short title reign that he won via shenanigans.
and those 3 autobiographies he wrote!

They even had to mention that when Mick Foley feuded with Abyss.

I think Abyss is a good wrestler and an awesome big man but I can't take him seriously because TNA is ALWAYS booking him in some crazy ass storyline. Jesus, how much drama could one person have?

So he is TNA's Kane then. Not really. I mean even Kane has brief periods where he's not really involved with anything or maybe just in a title feud. Abyss is NON-STOP.
