Kane Replaces Triple H in This Weeks Interview with Cole

Awful. So, Kane's new gimmick is a Wall Street businessman who loses his cool when he's under a lot of stress from work. Stellar stuff. I mean, how did they ever come up with that one?

I dig the change. Can't wait to see where it goes.

I loved that. I found the "no"'s funny and I think that they have progressed the character by explaining it here. It is obvious from this that Kane will manage to pull off this gimmick and hopefully make a great success out of it.

Very interested to see where this goes.

I'm enjoying Corporate Kane so far. A drastic change in character and appearance for him was needed. He's been more or less the same for his entire run as Kane, with or without a mask. Even though there's always been a supernatural element to him, there's nothing sacred about that anymore and the mystique of Kane hasn't been there for a long, long time, so it's not like him in a suit and tie is jumping the shark. (It's a whole lot less silly than him doing the Santino trombone march around the ring.) One thing this video does though is remind me of how much the word 'monster' is overused in the wrestling lexicon. It's been used to describe so many different people and characters over the years that it doesn't really hold any special meaning or value anymore, so I didn't care so much for him snapping at Cole talking about the 'monster is still inside', or whatever.

Although as much as I like the character change, I feel like Kane answering the questions with 'no' is more or less their way of saying that we won't be getting a legit reason, which is pretty disappointing. But just thinking out loud, it could be interesting if the long-term reasoning for this was a long con of sorts; where Kane was abducted by the Wyatts and written off for a while, a plan could have been hatched to use Kane to infiltrate The Authority in an effort to 'bring down the machine' from the inside, so to speak. Gives a bit of meaning to Bray saying, 'the devil made me do it' when he attacked Bryan. But I think that's putting way too much thought into something that probably means absolutely nothing, other than something fancy and cryptic for Bray to say.

When they give me something to be positive about, I will be.

This.

I think this new gimmick for Kane is cool. He's a big libertarian outside of wrestling, so I'm sure he likes having a kind of a political character.

And for all of the people whining about how "the character is ruined," look at Undertaker. He's had a ton of gimmick changes. I'm pretty sure not many questions were asked when Taker came back as the dead man after being the American Badass for years.
