I'll give Kane props for one thing: that "well I guess since I'm here I might as well f#$@ing do it and get outta here" face he gave before the pyro thing.
I'm curious if that was good comedic timing or 100% legit his feeling.

Kane has always been one of my favorite and still is, I don’t do social media and couldn’t care less about politics so his political views or whatnot means nonthing to me, and quite frankly, doesn’t look like Iam the only one, what everyone seems to gloss over is he still over with fans every time he shows up, so all this “we hate Kane now” shitck seems to be extremely niche. I mean, that's fine but maybe do some research into what he's been saying to better understand why he's left a bad taste in many mouths.

And that's probably right at the limit of what we can discuss on this board.

"I don't know what he says but your dislike is a schtick and disingenuous" is a hell of a stake to drive into the ground.

How weird was that? I get it that's it's Glenn's home state and they want to factor him into the show somehow. But, he announced that 48,449 was in attendance. That's not an accomplishment that WWE should be highlighting. It's a given that a typical football stadium holds 60 to 80k people. I Googled it and found the last number given for Nissan stadium capacity was 69,143. Now that's just for football. With wrestling, the numbers should be much larger because the field is being filled with seats. So yeah...WWE barely filled half the stadium. Why even announce it? And they can't blame it on COVID. SummerSlam just didn't sell. Didn’t they only open half the stadium anyway? Plus. I dunno. Selling just about 40k tickets to a non-Wrestlemania in the middle of a recession with the product being pretty cold going in sounds like a bit of a win to me.

In fairness, I am always one to riff on WWE for inflating its attendance numbers and popularity, but I was at the show and they had closed off half of the stadium on the hardcamera side, which they definitely needed to do given how huge the cameras they were using to film such a large, open area were.
It was a visual sellout for the seats available, from where I was sitting.

But I have never heard him say anything like the hateful garbage that Jacobs spews now. Its not like its a package deal. But Jacobs has gone all in and yes it does make him a bad person.

It was a visual sellout for the seats available, from where I was sitting. I think what made it weirder was that, apparently, on the pre show, they were talking about the 35k number of people being there so they just went ahead and added another 10k and, like…the first number still looked great for TV from what I saw? So it’s just weirdly unnecessary even if I “get” the logic.

I soured on Kane when he was one of the Local Men. And Glenn Jacobs can go kick rocks.

Kane as a character I felt reached his peak at the time they made him unmask. Remember, at first they they had him wear black makeup to resemble burn marks. But then after a week, that was abandoned, and his burn marks were just supposed to be psychological the whole time.

I loved Team Hell No, but I can't really think of anything he did after they split that I really enjoyed. Big Shwo at least had the matches with Braun. Gotta admit Kane scared the shit out of me when I was 6/7 (so much so, I even refused to get a pic taken with him and Paul Bearer before a house show in 1998), so that's something I look back on with fondness now. And the batshit crazy feud with Taker.

Just gonna give a preemptive reminder for you all to avoid political discussions. We get it. He’s said dumb stuff on social media. Don’t take it any further than that

I am discussing him being a piece of garbage. My post was pointing out the fact that his being a piece of garbage has nothing to do with his politics as others who share his beliefs do not share in being garbage people.

The topic of discussion is the Summer Slam attendance record and how WWE announced that they failed to sell half of what the stadium can fill.
