6 Ups & 6 Downs From Kane's WWE Career

5. See No Evil

See No Evil was a typically putrid WWE Studios offering that somehow turned a $10.6 million box office profit, and effectively doomed Kane to months of televised dross as the company hit the promotional campaign hard.

Kane showed signs of insanity in the spring of 2006. He'd been hearing "voices in his head" long before Randy Orton stopped burning in Mercy Drive's light, and started assaulting anyone who mentioned the date 19 May. Facing Big Show at Backlash, he wigged out as his own voice spat lines like "they're all going to know" and "it's happening again" through the arena, then, on the date itself, he battered JBL and Rey Mysterio without any explanation as to what was actually going on.

19 May was, of course, See No Evil's release date. In kayfabe, it was also the date Kane's adoptive family were killed in a fire. Reaching it didn't cure the monster's insanity, though: he was soon tormented by an imposter Kane, kickstarting another reviled programme that was abandoned without resolution by the end of June.

A contrived, poorly-executed run that did nothing but build further fatigue towards Glenn Jacobs after a ropy couple of years, this saga is best left forgotten.
