By the time he unmasked he had a voicebox, a girlfriend, was now fully talking and doing comedy bits. There's only so far you can go with the silent psycopath in a mask and Kane had to evolve. Now whether you think it was a good evolution or that it was handled well is another matter.

Hot take: Kane with mask (1997-2001) AND without mask (Summer 2003-Spring 2004) is one of the all-time greatest wrestlers ever. Even though it arguably "killed" the mystique of the character, Glenn Jacobs still is one of my all-time favorites from childhood.

It was weird at first when he unmasked even though I have seen him without a mask as Issac Yankem and Fake Diesel but it had been 6 years from 97 to 03 before I saw his face again. The unmasking actually made his character better when he became a heel again. He came in hot in the Summer of 02 after summerslam but at some point got lost in the shuffle after the elimination chamber of 2002.

Speaking of how Taker should have been the one to remove the mask, if we recall he actually successfully did remove his mask at Summer Slam 2000. So, it only makes PERFECT sense that Taker should have been the one to do it. Sort of a big brother helping his little brother via some tough love. Teaching him how to accept himself etc. etc. It's writes itself, man...

I always thought there was a superb meta-narrative around this storyline, possibly the best the E has ever done. The Jim Ross interview was the perfect encapsulation. Kane was not disfigured and never had been, but the trauma of the childhood fire had made him believe he was. When the mask came off, we got to see for ourselves his self-image of disfigurement being stripped away as the weeks went on and the makeup came off. Of course he had to turn heel at first, because in that ballance between physical and psychological disfigurement the relief of the former must create pressure on the latter, but at last we had chance to see the complete redemption of the Kane character and (thanks not entirely to WWE Creative) the ascension and ultimate replacement by the man who played him. I don't know of any better meta-narrative than that, in all of professional wrestling.

Regarding the make-up; I don’t think that was part of the character. He blacked around his eyes every week, just to have the mask blend with his face. Like Batman does. When he took the mask off, that was all that was left, and it was smeared from sweating and the mask rubbing on his face. That’s why it was gone the next week; it was never meant to be part of the look.

I get why lots of fans wanted Kane to keep the mask, but let's be honest - by 2003 the character had become so humanized and almost loveable that the mask didn't make a difference. By then enough of his face was exposed as the mask changed, that the mystique was gone anyway. Plus, Glen Jacobs is not a pleasant looking fellow. His actual face could be scarier than the mask.

The problem with all of this is he never should of took it off but if they was going to take his mask off they should have made it seem that he was getting some plastic surgery fixing his disfigured face.. See this is what happens when you don't build a match/storyline right.. They had all kind of chances to stop this from happening and build up on it.. they didn't which got WWE backlash from it.. The Reason I stopped watching Pro Wrestling around this time because of the Reign of Terror thing from Triple H but I kept playing the wrestling games and my first time seeing Kane without his mask was in 2008 in Raw vs Smackdown.. I said this can't be right so I went back and started to find old episodes in 2009 when I first got on KZbin and I was kinda disappointed when I finally seen the Unmasking years later.. But his first run without the mask was damn good though..

Same here, I was 12 in 2003 back then, and I screamed when Kane took his mask off for the first time after he lost the World Heavyweight Championship against Triple H on WWE Raw. Before the show goes off the air and before I went to bed, I said, "Kane put your mask back on." But I knew that the makeup was part of the character as a I grew up into a adult from last decade in the 2010s. Kane is my 7th favorite wrestler of all time right next to The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Sting, Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, and Kurt Angle.

Interesting enough Erick Bischoff was also involved with unmasking off Ray Mysterio Jr. in WCW so he really loves unmasking wrestlers.

My fav wrestler and the reason I got into wrestling in the first place. His unmasking was a true refreshment for his char and Kane was at his sickest and most dangerous. Loved how he wrecked pretty mucn everyone for a while. Overall, I think they ve done a great job for his Unmasking phase period. The only thing I would ve done to make him look even more dangerous was to keep that horiffic wig when he first unmasked. Jacobs mentioned that he didnt wanna do it because of his wife, but I think they couldve just use a wig whenever inside the ring then take it off outside wrestling.

I thought he looked infinitely scarier without the mask, especially once he shaved his head and has that opaque contact lens.

He really shouldn't of had any hair during the unmasking... the very next day at school all my friends were saying how he looked like Larry from the Three Stooges. While I get the idea Vince was going with "Kane was burned and thus his hair doesn't grow in those places anymore" it was very obvious he just had a partially shaved head, you could see all the stubble. Why they needed Kane to be bald for the unmasking in the first place I have no clue but maybe his hair was starting to get thin?

I think just about everything of Kane was good until he did that storyline with Lita and the baby. Imo that was when his story started to go downhill. I don't get why so many people disliked the funnier Kane, sure the big red machine was amazing but that gimmick isn't one that can last forever.

3:06 Correction, the reason Kane's Concept Art doesn't feature his mask is because the task of creating Kane's mask was outsourced to a company then known as "Mansour's Designs" while WWE's Wardrobe designer Terry Anderson was tasked with the rest of the costume (seen here in the video). The reason they had another company make the mask is because they had experience with making performance masks for Renaissance Fairs and things of that nature; Kane's mask was going to cover all of his face so they needed it to be as breathable and high quality as possible. Mansour's Designs produced Kane's first three masks and eventually in 1999, Terry learned how to produce the masks herself and from then on she made the rest of his full masks.

to be fare, we did see him without the mask as isaac yankem and fake diesel. i read the reason why they unmasked him was because they had to figure out what to do next with kane. so bruce i think said he cut kane's hair to look almost bald and they simulated the burns or something like that. so part of his hair was cut i believe
