7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 12th)
4. Allow Myself To Introduce Myself
When Corporate Kane feigned not knowing anything about Demon Kanes presence on WWE programming, it initially felt fun and different. Kane had become a human punching bag, a guy who got beat up regularly and pretty easily at times. Donning his mask again was one way to help undo some of the damage, but this split personality idea was intriguing if handled well. But now, weve seen Kane told not to book himself in a lumberjack match against Seth Rollins, and so he booked his alter ego. On one hand, it would be pretty damn funny if Mick Foley was WWE commissioner again and booked Cactus Jack in a match. But Kane has barely acknowledged that the Demon is a persona of his. Its a weird dichotomy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODvfFS2HD_g Overshadowing all of this is that 48-year-old Kane is running roughshod over the roster and making WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins look like a more talented Barry Horowitz. Big Show KOd Kane and the lumberjacks dogpiled him, but Rollins still couldnt beat him.
