Is pretty funny to see people say him unmasking made them stop taking him seriously. It helped make him a monster again after stuff like teaming with Hurricane, Katie Vick, teaming with RVD, his time with the Corporation where Rock always called him the r word, and X-Pac telling everyone he had burnt junk. Kane really had some of the most inconsistent booking ever. if anything, that shows how important the mask was perceptively by helping him overcome those booking hindrances. i think it's bizarre that people enjoyed his unmasked work in comparison to 97-2002, but hey, there's people that are into everything. I enjoyed 97-2001 but in 02 they just turned into a comedy guy at the expense of his monster charecter, and it was funny but it also meant he was less of the monster he was supposed to be and less likely to be taken as a credible threat

I never saw him during the Attitude Era so 2003 easily. He was basically Michael Myers during that time period.

I loved half mark Kane; but I’m huge Kane fan in general.
I think when he first unmasked so much could of been done. Him going crazy was awesome; I think he should of been unhinged tweener and won the world title off HHH at Summer Slam and after losing it prior to RR 04; it’s pure heel and we feed Kane to Taker at Mania allowing much more substance to Takers return as well.

Actually, yes. I’ve always said 2003 post mask up until the match with Undertake Kane is my favorite era of his career. He just felt like a legit monster, even though he feuded with Shane for a big chunk of it. It probably goes: 1. Unmasking up until Wrestlemania XX 2. Debut up until the night after KOTR 98 3. Tag team with Big Show in late 2005 4. Tag team with X-Pac 5. Absolute unit Kane in early 2001 I ing hate funny Kane. Just a little bit more than Kane in slacks. I couldn't have put it better myself. This is it for me.

The first few months they had something going. When he came back in 02 with half-mask he was a little comedic, more friendly, spins rookies with Booker.
When he went maskless he was very vicious and imposing. Probably the most feared man on the roster in kayfabe. But from ‘04 til pretty much the end of his career he was just another guy.
Nothing beats ‘97-‘01 Kane.
