He seemed to be speaking, well...differently. He didn't come across as menacing and he borderline slurred some words.
Is he altering his speech a bit to sound more real? Or is this a take on a preachy evangelical leader who is trying to "enlighten" John Cena?
I'm hoping he was drunk. Drunk Kane could be hilarious.

I love that one of the most articulate men on the WWE roster is a seven foot tall pyromaniac.

I was almost expecting him to shout "Unlimited POWAH" when the pyros went off.

I was there live last night. A few scattered people started saying "boring" and "Why is Kane talking?" I strongly felt the urge to chokeslam them all in tribute to Kane's moving words of twisted wisdom.

I got movie-villain vibes off him, and I absolutely loved it. It was melodramatic and OTT and what wrestling has been missing for a while.
As overdone as it is, it did kind of remind me of Ledger's Joker (but more taking inspiration than outright copying like most do). His slurred speech reminded me of Ledger saying "I'm a man of my word".

Well I was drunk last night. I was also wearing a mask but none of you need to know about that.

2011: Kane is taking a dump.
2012: Kane is an alcoholic.

I liked it.....he's nuts but also a sadistic evil intelligent well spoken person.
Reminds me of Kevin Spacey's character in Seven, Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and Ledger's Joker.

Very long boring rambling promo which made very little sense. If they wanted Kane to get over big again they should have just had him interfering in matches and chokeslamming people to hell for a while then maybe getting Cena to try and convince him to stop.

That speech mad eme think of Palatine in Star Wars. I was hopingm Kane would say at some point "Let the hatred flow though you! or "Join the Dark Side" That was exactly what I was thinking towards the end. For a while he seemed like he was rambling, but eventually it all made sense. The direction they were going with Cena someone had to become this character and Kane is probably the only one that could pull it off and do a good job of it.

A few things I took from that segment. Cena actually sold that he might be doubting himself. He hasn't done that before. While the speech went on a little too long, Kane is absolutely amazing on the mic in his role. Given the smarky nature of some crowds, and how some crowds are pro-Cena, getting a let's go Cena/Cena sucks chant on command will be very hit or miss. There really needed to be violence.

"Well, gosh, in a casino you should gamble. Let me tell you something, Cena! You don't wanna play cards with me Because I'll cheat, okay? I cheat! You wanna play 21, I got 22. You wanna play BlackJack, I got two of those too"!

His vocal performance last night actually gave me some odd Paul Bearer vibes... which makes sense, I suppose.

It wasn't me, I just pull teeth, y'know? So then Vince...well he gets bored of Diesel, cos he was in the WCWF or whatever, right? So I'm like...I'm all...Vince, let me be a dentist, dude! Its all I know! But...that guy, man...that guy says...no dentisting for you, buddy! You...you gotta be the Undertaker's brother now! And I'm...I mean, what do I know about being...a brother, y'know? I just pull teeth, man! So there I am, at the Bad Blood, and I'm...burned. I gotta play a burn victim!

2011: Kane is taking a dump. 2012: Kane is an alcoholic. 2009(?): Kane strips people their clothes before giving them a suit, burning their clothes, and absorbing their powers. Our history for Kane is way more interesting and congruous than the WWE version.
