I'm curious about a few things regarding Kane's initial masked run.
Now growing up I had never seen what he looked like up until his 2003 unmasking & was always very curious about it. Strange how I never thought to do a Google search whenever I was on a computer.
I'm curious if there are any pictures of him unmasked during this era: not as Diesel or Isaac Yankem, but as Kane. Did any of you guys ever meet him prior to his unmasking? Would he take photos with fans or would he have to refuse to protect his identity?
Random topic but just some stuff I've often wondered about.

Did his hairline gradually recede? Cause I'm pretty sure he's half bald but in those pics it seems he had a full set of hair. Usually you could tell if it was receding earlier on, ie Kurt Angle or Big Show.

Usually you could tell if it was receding earlier on, ie Kurt Angle or Big Show. he shaved half of it for the unmasking, if u notice he still has a full hair line. also his maximum sweat action figure had a face under it....u could rip the mask off,but itd ruin the figure somewhat |

He's grew his hair out but it's nowhere near the length he wrestles in |

Whenever he did WWF-affiliated appearances back in the day he always had the mask on. He'd almost always be in a black long-sleeved shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes with his hair in a ponytail and his mask on. Now, obviously, there are going to be SOME pictures out there that fans took of him without his mask on during the late 90s when he re-debuted as Kane, but he never actually appeared anywhere while being advertised as Kane without his mask on. Basically the same thing as Rey Mysterio.
And that pic of him above with his mask off and his face bloodied is from SummerSlam 2000. It wasn't like he just ripped his mask off or anything, though, it was part of the match where Taker unmasked him and hit him in the head with steel steps, and then Kane covered his face with his hands and fled the ring before the match officially started.

Thanks for that Beyond The Mat clip. Very cool stuff. Here's a couple of pics I found searching online tonight.   For anyone curious, here's a vid with pics of him from as recently as a couple of months ago unmasked. |

Ive had way more trouble believing that Taker has always been Mark Calloway than I do this.
