Very much so.
The second he started talking killed all interest I had in this Cena/Kane/Ryder story.

Same here. The novelty is worn out now that he's involved in a bad slasher film remake on Monday nights now.
Seriously, that's what this feud is.

I hate this storyline. It's cheesy to a whole new extreme, and I've grown out of that stuff. Not to mention that the story is a convoluted mess of motivation and clearly filler to get Cena through January and most of February until Wrestlemania. No matter what people are saying, Kane as a talker is boring and derivative, too.

Have they explained at all why he has a mask again, let alone two?

He's boring the hell out of me and his outfit looks stupid. I like cheesy stories but something about this feels so mundane and forced. And pointless since we all know where Cena's going from here.

As I've said in other threads, for me its just too little, too late for me with Kane and Cena. Kane in the masks going nuts might have meant something 2-3 years ago, and Cena being shown as vulnerable and almost scared would have been a fun novelty as late as even a year and a half ago.. but now.
Now it just feels like filler. Kane had nothing else to do as a babyface so he's heel again, Cena's run through all the big heels on Raw, and Rock won't start doing TV until February so hey let's give them some TV for six weeks. If I thought for a second that this might lead to something good for Kane after this feud, I might get a little interested, but I doubt it.
And besides which, if I wanted to see a well done feud with a big intimidating heel terrorizing and feuding with a top babyface, I'd watch the Mark Henry/Randy Orton segments from four months ago.

I feel that Kane didnt really need the mask back for this storyline. I hate the idea that the mask had anything to do with how his character was written over the years.

This is the most I've enjoyed Kane in years. So, no, I am feeling Kane.

I've never been a fan of Kane. Ever. He just doesn't do it for me.
It's not that I take wrestling too seriously, it's that I hate garbage storylines which all of his are.

His outfit is a horrible mess, mask aside. I'm not sure what it's even meant to be. Looks like something they knocked together in five minutes.

Kane has been amazing. It's like taking all the best traits from all the variations of Kane and fusing them together.
His mic work has been perfect for what he's trying to accomplish. He's never been a catch phrase, kiddie joke heel. In ring, you get what you expect. He's over 40 with bad knees.
Is it filler? I guess. We all know Cena and Rock is set for WM, but what feud could Cena be in that wouldn't be considered filler 3 months before WM? Would you rather have Cena vs Miz and have them just trade childish insults?

I'll take cheese over boring men in trunks any day.
This is a fun angle.

It's the same kind of silliness and camp that made up a lot of the storyline that introduced Kane to begin with. The fantastical, cartoonish elements, the supernatural powers, the cheesy promos. I love this stuff.
That being said, last's night's ending segment was pretty stupid.

The main thing that bugs me about his outfit is that the colors are too bright. Especially on the flames - they should be faded, looking worn and slight, but they're really bright and gaudy. Though then there are those masks - the metallic one still doesn't particularly make sense, and the other one looks like a tomato.

I think Kane is ok in his role, I just have a problem with the direction his character has gone since he came back. At first I thought is feud with Cena was promising with the direction they were going in, with him trying to convince Cena to turn on the fans with Cena becoming conflicted. Unfortuatly it's it's turned into another unoriginal Cena vs big mean heel storyline we've seen a million times with both guys settling back into their stale boring one dimensional characters that they've both had forever (Cena as the happy go lucky, no worry in the world face and Kane as the angry monster that yells a lot). It seemed intriguing a feud at first but has become very uninteresting as the direction of the feud has changed from Kane trying to make Cena "embrace the hate" to Kane being a lame dime a dozen heel who yells at the fans for being losers while beating up Cena's "little buddy" Zack Ryder to get cheap heat.
I like Kane but he really needs to just become a special attraction at this point, with him just making occasional apperances. Same thing with Big Show. Due to them being around for so long, there's just not a lot you can do with either them from a storline standpoint without coming off as repetitive.

Maybe because they're tucked away near the bottom of his leg that you barely notice them. |

Whatever they throw at the guy he just runs with it.
Love wacky Kane.
Especially in a time where less and less wrestlers have gimmick characters. I'm just bored with "very serious and intense heel #27".
