I like the mask, love the entrance mask, but this attire is easily his worst yet. It takes away from his presence to some extent. It looks like Indy Kane or something.
But I will say that I still really enjoy his promos. Those seem to be splintering with his fanbase, but I like them just fine - he's a great talker. I like that he's being booked strong, and that he's actually getting the best of Cena. It's gotta be scary for kids to see him choke out their hero with that hold, and you gotta remember - their perspective on this is very important, because they're the future us.
I'm glad he's back under the mask and is booked like he is.

It's too little too late.
I already don't care about Kane at all. I quit caring shortly after he lost the mask and his personality with it.
The new mask is ugly....the costume is cheap....the angst is hollow. He hasn't even explained why he has the mask on.
I liked him so much better when he was masked...didn't speak...and kicked ass. Or even when he was freshly unmasked and on a rage.

Kane should have just come back and randomly interfered in jobber/lower card matches and destroyed people for a month or so, then done a big dominating run in the Rumble, then feuded with Mark Henry over the title at the Chamber, as a babyface. Never at any point should he have cut a promo because his promos are alwyas terrible.

People want more reality based programming, and they were starting to head that way. No one is buying this Kane "cartoony" monster garbage. lol "oh look he's behind a door stalking Ryder, I am so scared". SO STUPID.

He need to lose the tacky outfit, and the welders mask. Stop saying so many damn big words also. Other than that, the storyline is cheesy but enjoyable. No one complains when taker does this stuff. If anything great comes out of this it'll be Zack Ryder being destroyed...I just can't stand the guy.

Is it just me also, or is Kane's pyro a lot quieter these days? It used to sound like a bomb was going off, now it just sounds like someone's gently stoking up a coal fire when his pyro hits. I do miss the original Kane.

His mask looks crap. The mask exposed just looks like a batman ripoff.

Gentlemen, we get a story that is more that "me want title match" (which is only awesome if Chris Jericho pictorally spells it out), and still everyone complains. Bring back some of the campy stuff that made the Rock 'N Wrestling and Attitude eras. This is part of what we are missing.
This type of stuff is awesome for the kids,. They will remember for years (if Zack Ryder gets to where a lot of people think he will) that guy who scared the hell out of them and tried to drag their Broski to Hell!
Besides, Kane is made for slasher flicks anyway. I actually hope some serious directors see some of this stuff so Kane can play Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers after he hangs up the boots.

I'm enjoying it, but I will fully admit that its mostly nostalgia based from seeing him in the mask again. The novely will wear off soon. Though I am enjoying the Cena feud more than most. His mask looks crap. The mask exposed just looks like a batman ripoff. I think the mask is designed so that when the lights are dimmed for his entrance/promos, his face looks very monster-like. I dig it.

This Kane feud is the perfect thing for Cena's current "superhero" character.

This Kane feud is the perfect thing for Cena's current "superhero" character. I think his mask looks plenty menacing. More-so if he had the beard to go with it. Cleanly shaven it doesn't quite seem right. I don't think anyone in the E cares if an adult doesn't buy Kane as a maniacal menace. His role, and this feud is geared for kids. Also, should we coin a new term for the Kane haters? Since the opinions on him are the extreme one way or the other. I know we have HHHater. I have no clever phrase floating in my head.

I have no interest in the big, red, boring slug either. Last night's Raw was based on ridiculous, cheesy segments involving him and it was horrible.
I'm bored with this whole Cena vs. Kane feud (and I find Ryder very annoying, so I couldn't care less what happens to him).

Yeah, I wasn't really gonna say anything but since you brought it up, this whole story with Kane is pretty much the only part of Raw that I'm not enjoying at the moment. Kane is a good speaker but his promos are kind of boring and confusing. This story is not connecting with me at all.

This is his best promo work of his life. I'm not seeing the problem in that regard.

If the hate thing was building to something, I'd be into it. But it's not. Nothing is ever building to anything.
The anonymous GM petering out has really soured me on every big angle, come to think of it. Really shone a light on the fact that nothing is planned out, so nothing will end up satisfying.

I'd like for the story to advance now. It doesn't have to be resolved yet, but it needs to advance.

The problem is not Kane himself(well there is a problem with his pajama attire) it is that the feud blows. No one likes this stocking, lights changing when Kane appears in a hall way, or that he is in a mirror. lol although it did give us the comedy bit of Ryder changing a tire.
And Kane's promo was as super SRS as it gets. Only difference he was wearing a mask, and the lights were darker. Slow angry tone, aka every other heel promo.

Kane was at his most over when he NEVER SPOKE.
I just want him to shut up and whoop ass.
A Paul Bearer return would have worked NOW, not a year ago.
Paul could have been the one to get Kane to embrace the dark side again, and he could have been showing up for weeks teasing a Kane return.
Blah blah blah, Kane returns.
I would have preferred that.
