Got to thinking about in on having a moment of realization of, "Wait, this Uncle Howdy storyline is pretty much just the same thing they seemed to be doing with that." But did anyone ever say what the actual overall intention of that storyline was longterm before they awkwardly dropped it in the aftermath of a terrible wig and a terrible match through Kane just beating Gallows up backstage like it was nothing?

it was Kane, logic doesn't apply to any of his timeline.

Probably the good old standby of “we’ll figure it out later” (they never figure it out)

Makes me wonder how the angle would have been perceived if they used a better wig. or if he had the Kane mannerisms down better. little things like that can make a huge difference.

Y'know, I completely forgot that Gallows was Fake Kane. What a career this guy has had. Fake Kane, Festus, CM Punk acolyte, Sex/Tex Ferguson, one half the not-so-Good Brothers... dude could write a book about his career.
Not sure anyone would read it, but he could write it lol

Way back when Gallows was 21 youtube.com/shorts/Hp5uaA6AvQI?feature=share

rumour had it the angle was going to be used to replace Bald Kane with classic Kane permanently. they'd come up with something a lot less stupid when he actually did a few years later.

If only he was as interesting on-screen.

The only way it works at all is if the end game is supposed to be: the Corporation actually sent Real Kane permanently back to an asylum (too dangerous, has actual magic powers), and Bald Kane is an actor hired to take on the role and give them a palatable, controllable version of the character (no magic powers); covers why Real Kane's face was too hideous to look at, covers Bald Kane being Glenn Jacobs as an actor (who, naturally, would develop political aspirations down the line) who perhaps dabbled in wrestling in the past before being hired to be "movie Kane" to sell tickets for See No Evil, and you can thread in the idea that they even considered pulling this off because of JR doing the Fake Diesel thing years before. Gallows as Real Kane is then meant to be the Original Kane (has magic powers) who has escaped to torment the actor who dared try to replace him.

Dunno long term plan but I've heard that once they saw Gallows in the get up they felt he looked ridiculous so they just wanted to get through the angle and scrap everything asap

They planned to market him as New Kane, then when everyone hated him, they'd bring back Kane Classic, and make billions.

So the original Kane became a drugged out hillbilly who freaked out when bells rang?

Fake Gallows will be Kevin Nash, in order to close the circle before it consumes life itself.

Glenn Jacobs was supposed to retire. Gallows would have carried on as “the real Kane” and after that, who knows?
That’s always been the story.
