When Kane Unmasked in 2003 and Became a MONSTER Again

[@wrestlingspremier]

This run could've been better. But from what we've seen. Kane was a freaking monster. He Tombstone Vince's wife, He burned JR and he electrocuted Shane McMahon. It was a wild run and Kane definitely deserved a title run. What did you think of 2003 Kane?

[@mbeas9612]

Agree 2003 was the year of Kane as a monster heel and main eventer

[@Harambeeeee]

Loved the beginning of this run but once ge linked up with Lita and that whole thing he lost his steam(not pun intended)

[@ajc8431]

I wasn't born until 2004 so I don't have an opinion

[@brycegadson3370]

What about new Jack was he just as or more violent then Kane?

nah

One of the best

[@kwamaniiirages1475]

Tiocman for his character yes it was

[@ohnoitstioc]

@@kwamaniiirages1475 it fit his character for one storyline that wasn't even happening when he got the song and was abandoned, otherwise it was easily one of his worst fitting ones

[@TheCamSays]

It’s almost criminal how he didn’t win the world title around this time frame.

[@thebigquack6945]

Unfortunately he was in the era of the reign of terror

[@TheSBleeder]

I was actually naive enough back then to think that Kane was going to win the Title vs. Mask match on Raw. Even during the match I thought we were going to get a title change. Triple H was hitting Kane with everything but the kitchen sink, and Kane kept kicking out. Of course, Evolution came in and screwed Kane.

[@codyjohns6525]

I think their was to much top talent then for him to be the guy atleast in vince eyes maybe On raw alone goldberg was in his debut year kevin nash came back Shawn Michaels Chris Jericho Christian Booker T stone cold was on every episode of raw and was still treated as a top guy even if he was just general manager or something Not to mention on the top of the list triple h reign of terror and he had a 3 other members in evolution who had to shine too Randy Orton and Batista was still so young and didnt win a title until December 03 when evolution had all the gold going into the royal rumble I dont know if that unmasked kane the first year could have worked as a monster unleashed babyface as a world champion and a guy that does babyface promos But because he was a an evil twisted heel he couldnt fight with triple h either and come out of a feud without it looking bad taking a loss

[@thekickingguy842]

FUCKING FACTS WTF I WAS 7-8 around this time bro holy shit he was the biggest most dangerous thing at the time best run and maybe peak of Kane tbh..

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

I do think Kane being unmasked could have been better. However, for the short time in summer 2003 to WrestleMania 20, he was in-freaking-sane.

[@haaniakbar5455]

2004 royal rumble could have helped kane to still be the monster he was but who knew that chris benoit would waste that year royal rumble

[@harshaaditya3648]

Kane is criminally underrated😢

[@Hyperion520]

I wasn't a fan of his unmasking at first but I agree with you that up until wm 20 he was amazing being unmasked. His shackles and chains entrance was great. I wanted that entrance in a WWE game so bad. They should've continued that afterwards. He should've won the World Title but of course this was the HHH reign of terror era. I loved his rivalry with Shane.

[@alazarvlogz2787]

He's only terrorizing until he faces his brother at wrestlemania. That's what happened at wm 14 and wm 20. Then he slowly but surely loses steam. That's how it always works.

[@DarrylKeithFord-DarrylFord]

2003 Kane was the BEST version of Kane in WWE, he was an absolute MONSTER.

[@Hustlinhusky22]

They should have gave this masked Kane a title run. He was so over and fans loved seeing him having a personality

[@d1.KT1]

I’ve heard Glenn didn’t like the spotlight so that’s probably he didn’t win that much belt

[@lobsters12111]

Larry The duck that makes no sense, he may not have been champion a lot but he was still in the spotlight as one of the top guys, and when I googled “Glenn Jacobs doesn’t like the spotlight” I found no source saying that, one source where he was talking about how his wife didn’t want to be in the spotlight, and an interview with eq where he says his greatest accomplishment in wrestling was winning the world championship for the first time.

[@bennyspears2464]

He was in phenomenal shape

[@NCWUniverse]

I hated when he showed personality

[@mbeas9612]

Kane in 2003 was badass because he became an super violent heel who showed no remorse for anything. He should had a world title run during this classic heel run. This is without a doubt Kane's best run as a heel and 2003 was the last year he was looked as an main event player

[@thunderstorm3969]

Video Ideas: 1. Spirit Squad 2. The Corre 3. Air Boom 4. The Buildup to Survivor Series 2005

[@justicesangweni4598]

Kenny from Spirit Squad had this crazy leg drop that always looked to hurt him more than his opponent

I remember watching this and being scared shitless Kane was a monster

[@DTownNash]

Unmasked Kane doesn't get enough appreciation.

[@Xehanort10]

12:21 2003 was not only Kane's character at his most evil but Vince's too. He basically tried to kill Stephanie to get her to quit the Smackdown General Manager job that he himself had hired her to do the year before because she wasn't doing it the way he wanted her to. He cheated on Linda with Sable, he made fun of Zach Gowen for having 1 leg, he ruined Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar's friendship by convincing Brock that if Kurt had really been his friend he'd have let Brock retain the WWE title in the Vengeance 2003 triple threat match between Brock, Kurt and Big Show. Brock agreed with Vince and turned heel. And in Vince's Survivor Series 2003 storyline with Undertaker he threatened to have terrorists burn down Taker's house, have his kids kidnapped and have Sara raped by a biker gang. And he said that if Paul Heyman who was the Smackdown GM at the time didn't make those things happen he'd strangle him to death, drag his body out to the ring and fire it.

[@Lemoddclark]

Don’t forget He and Kane then buried the undertaker alive ,epic shit.

[@MrMonsterJamFan]

Kane character was evil for the storyline, he wasn't as bad behind the scenes before and after each show Vince however, was evil in real life

[@BLACK-cc9bs]

Definitely a great topic good stuff!!

[@JohnSmith-wh2ob]

5:15 is literally my favorite Kane moment the yell of rage and how aggressive he throws his hands down to bring the hell fire up was so badass it’s incredible

[@bluedream0243]

I remember being a kid when this happened and I was just disappointed because they always said how burned and fucked up Kane's face was thast why he had a mask, when he took it off and I saw his face I was like its not bad at all.

[@AlexSmith-tz2lf]

That's the problem with Bischoff and his stupid ass WCW ideas. There is a reason characters wear their masks like Mysterio and Kane at least.

[@Vaibhav_9150]

I was waiting for someone to make video on Kane unmasking One of my favourite storielines Please don't forget to make sequel of this video as you mentioned in the end of video

[@Xehanort10]

If Triple H hadn't been in full "Bury everyone because I'm Stephanie's husband and Vince's son in law" mode in 2003 unmasked psychopathic heel Kane could have gotten a world title run. They could have had him take out Flair and Orton leaving HHH alone and at Summerslam could have avenged the loss that forced him to unmask by becoming the World Heavyweight Champion.

[@mexozul]

For real though. Politician Paul just had to make use of his platinum shovel though

[@LRM5195]

Triple HHH sounds like the worst guy ever the more I learn about him.

[@shashwotmarsani8417]

he could have gone through with the heel turn and his feud against rvd and shane and at armaegeddon won the world title from goldberg instead of hhh even for a month because this version of kane deserved to win the world title

[@treenareid5767]

Since kane forgot to take out batista , Hhh still wins lol

[@PricefieldPunk]

I remember we he put people's necks between a chair and stomped on it making them bleed from the throat. That was Violent

[@omaribailey458]

He destroyed Michael's

[@labbaby189]

This is prolly my favorite version of Kane. The masked version with Paul Bearer, while still scary and threatening physically, was a little more on the supernatural side and either lacked conscience or was easily controlled. This Kane had a conscience, showed humanity and even had a personality before he unmasked (his Rock/Hogan impressions is one of the funniest things wrestling ever produced). After he unmasked, the Kane we knew was still there, but the unhinged psychopath he became was amplified by the void the more human Kane left behind. It's like he had a life that was taken away from him, and in return he started just lashing out. Sidebar: Can we give Trips his respect as a stable member/leader now? DX, the MHR, Two Man Power Trip, Evolution... all contributing to some of the most compelling storylines in wrestling, and Trips was usually front and center of it all.

[@Cardiacarrested445]

Tried? He DID burn MVP at Armageddon 2006

[@taylormademyself89]

I remember watching all this back in the day and remember wondering at the time why is no one else seeing how awesome this was and why was wwe keeping him at a mid card level when having him as champ would be incredible and give the people what they want 2 c, him destroying everyone while as heavyweight champion and, we already saw him hurt people just to do it, makes you want to know what he would do when having something to fight for lol then he could lose it to taker or rvd at wrestlemania... damn I wish I could seen it done like that 😎🤘🙏

[@claudeakel]

this was back when wrestling was exciting

[@nlrproductions8106]

Besides original masked Kane attire, the singlet unmasked Kane is my second favorite attire for Kane. The red stripes and mesh material showing of his skin for some reason is cool look for me. I wish when he put the mask back on he would’ve updated this look then the attire he returned in.

[@granturismofan2751]

It would be cool if Kane was drafted to Smackdown in 2004 and winning the WWE Title

[@marckevin203]

But he move to Smackdown in 2006 and did very well in blue brand. And in few years he won the ECW Championship then World Heavyweight Champion.

Kane's 03 heel turn was like Jason of Michael Myers of WWE

[@CARL_093]

i remember this from my early wrestling days as a young fan

[@justicesangweni4598]

The entrance music was fire

[@DarrylKeithFord2ndChannel]

It would've been awesome if Kane used "Drag You Down" by Finger Eleven as new MONSTER heel theme in 2003, and have WWE cut the intro short. It would have fit his psychopathic unmasked heel persona perfectly.

[@silversilva7555]

As I've been thinking about the brutality of Kane's actions back then, perhaps I could say that this storyline was one of those that made 2003 live up to what Ruthless Aggression stood for.

This kane is one the most sob in the history with taker 1999 and austin 2001

Actually that second announce table was there for The Coach and Al Snow to sit at and mock JR and King cause they had a feud going on. They had a tag team match at Unforgiven and the winner would be the Raw announce team.

Kane was always by some way a great thing even when he was in the worst storyline during his 2003-2011 run. After he have won the world title in 2010 you told to yourself "yeah, but where is the other world titles he deserved".

[@mbeas9612]

2003 was definitely Kane's time to become world champ because he was an dangerous heel and the most hated heel on Raw alongside Evolution, Chris Jericho, and Eric Bischoff

[@juanluis2855]

@@mbeas9612 Exacly... Well, maybe Vince still would put Triple H as the champ again but, Kane could have been champion anyway. Damn, Goldberg became champion in Unforgiven of that year and he was nothing. The exacly moment to put Kane in the title picture was after that feud with Shane and RVD. The build is obvious, they could have used something like the reason why Kane lose the mask or a World Heavyweight title rematch

[@mbeas9612]

@@juanluis2855 Exactly after his feuds with Shane and RVD, Kane was unstoppable and dangerous than ever. He was basically the most scariest heel in WWE at the time. So he did deserve an world title during his violent heel run because he kinda overshadowed Triple H and Evolution as the top heel on Raw.
