Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2013 So, Kane's gimmick is "Maths teacher" now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Whole Show Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Orton and Big Show can have a very good match - I was pleasantly surprised by their house show match during the April European tour. I just don't know how it will translate to PPV. I doubt it will draw a large number - or is there some other big draw? Â By the seems of it we will probably get some multiman match involving Punk & Bryan vs The Wyatts and Cena defending against Del Rio which hardly screams big PPV numbers to me.

sgmilne Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Watched most of the show on fast forward, but I loved the six man tag and Corporate Kane in a suit was just bloody brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know I probably shouldn't but I loved Citizen Kane. It's a bit WrestleCrap but it makes for hilarious viewing from a guy who is essentially impervious from being damaged anymore anyway. He looks like the worst American president ever in some twisted alternate history HBO drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Whos Next Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I thought WWE had learned their lesson and would keep Kane masked for his remainder. With a mask he's very marketable; without it you are drawn to his failings and matches seem much more boring.  To play devil's advocate, could this new look be an attempt to get fans to stop cheering for him? I didnt see last week's Raw, but at HIAC, when he chokeslammed the babyface Miz, he got one of the biggest pops of the night. Kane's longevity as a WWE character, his recent comedy double act with Bryan and the presentation (mask, entrance, links to 'Taker) make him popular. Unfortunately, while getting him to dress like a teacher might stop him getting cheers, its not going to get him heel heat.  The other reason might be the film thats coming out. He'd look pretty silly doing red carpet interviews wearing the mask, and whilst standing in front of 15 foot billboards of his unmasked face.

The Gaffer Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 He has been doing Hall Of Fame, Sky Sports and other appearances for years now in his nice Kane suits being a smart, kind of weird looking libertarian. The business is so open ended and his character is so high and dry at this point that it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of (I think) a Chris Candido comment to Power Slam in the mid/late 90's about how WWE would take the best plumber in the world and try to make him an electrician.  I wonder if the possible spin is Taker coming back and questioning what happened to his brother to set up a Mania match.

Paid Members FLips Posted November 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2013 Pretty shoddy and all-over-the-place Raw, but Kane in a suit was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted November 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ditto Orton vs Big Show. We're still getting it though. Â I hear Big Show was doing the YES routine? That's a bit fucking cheeky if there's no Daniel Bryan in sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I hear Big Show was doing the YES routine? That's a bit fucking cheeky if there's no Daniel Bryan in sight? Aye, he did. I thought that too, the cheeky cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
