Well, I'll be honest when I say that I don't regularly watch the WWE like some of you may. I order a PPV here and there, but keep up with the status by reading recaps, etc. Anyway, two matches I saw from prowrestlinghistory struck me as being odd, and I was wondering if someone here could explain to me the match and what lead up to it. First off is from Armageddon 2004. Kurt Angle beat Santa Claus by submission. What the ? Also, shouldn't this be added to Wrestlecrap in the X-mas section. It sounds bad. Next is Vengeance 2006...Fake Kane vs Kane?!? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I was a pretty piss poor storyline. And fans crapped all over it, so they never really finished it. Fake Kane would appear backstage or in the arena and beat up Kane. And sometimes there'd be weird images that'd play on the TitanTron to interrupt Kane in a match. Kane kept saying it was some guy from his childhood that was more screwed up than he was. I think Fake Kane won at Vengeance, but I dont' remember for sure. The next Monday, Kane destroyed the Fake Kane and literally tossed him out the door. Fake Kane was never heard from again.

Fake Kane, IIRC, was portrayed by The Freakin' Deacon from Deep South Wrestling -- a gimmick that I really wish the 'E would bring to the main roster.

It had a lot of possibilities, but after Vince saw how bad Phone (Phony Kane) wrestled, they dropped it quick.
It was basically them painting themselves into a corner over the whole "May 19th" thing, and them not knowing a solid way to pay it off.

It was an angle to help sell Kane's movie, they did this thing where the release date of the movie was the same date as when Kane's parents were killed. We didn't know that second part, so every time someone would mention that date (May 19th, for the record) Kane would go crazy, then, the first RAW after the movie came out, Kane dropped the nugget about his parents deaths, then said he "was now... at peace" or something. Then, in his next match, towards the end, Kane's old music started to play (with the organ intro and no singing) and then out stepped this guy dressed in Kane's old costume and Mask, only problem was a giant, horrible-looking, ratty wig. Fake Kane came to the ring, there was staredown (which basically killed the whole thing, since fake Kane was 4 or 5 inches short and about half as muscular as real Kane (they even had to sew another sleeve onto the fake Kane costume, to cover up the fake Kane's lack of muscle). Then, after the staredown, Fake Kane chokeslammed Bald Kane but he lost his balance and fell down, it just went downhill from there.

I think that happened during Kurt's whole "Olympic (White Boy) Challenge", where he challeneged jobbers to try to beat him in under 3 minutes to win his medals. Since it was the holidays, Santa came out, Kurt came out, and made him tap to the Angle Lock as part of the challenge.

Anyway, what was the deal with Kurt Angle fighting Santa Claus? This was during the Kurt Angle Gold Medal Challenge, when at Armaggedon, Kurt invited Santa Claus out. He said how his daughter loved him, then he turned angry, and said it was sick how his daughter admired Santa instead of her own father. Then he started the challenge with Claus, and Angle Slammed him, then made him tap out to the Ankle Lock.
