I guess he no longer looks like Larry, now he looks like Curly. | The Goon

Well, it's certainly got me curious about tonight. | CANADIAN BULLDOG

Which would suck. | Matt Tracker

They could do a marketing crossover with ABC's "Extreme Makeover" show.
And I'm gonna miss calling him "the big burned bastard." | OMEGA

| #25 Posted on 30.6.03 1038.00 Reposted on: 30.6.10 1039.45 | I don't like how they shaved him bald. That hair was a key factor. He doesn't look nearly as scary now, without the hair and paint. He just looks like a Nathan Jones wannabe.
Well, I'll wait until tonight to pass judgment. | Wpob

Give him a decent storyline. The rest will work itself out. | whatever

How much effort does it take to not get a haircut?
Ask Nash and HHH - you gotta use the right contitioner, man! *ba-da-dum* | spf

Seriously, this does not strike me as a good look for him. Maybe he needs fake hair and a mask or something, but yet another big bald guy will IMO likely have trouble sticking out of the crowd. | Matt Tracker

Maybe the guy who feuds with Kane next can throw a fireball at him. It's been a while since we've seen one of those, and it would give him a reason to put the mask back on. | Chico Santana

| #31 Posted on 30.6.03 1451.13 Reposted on: 30.6.10 1452.19 | From the house show pics that have been posted, I think he looks like a Jesse Ventura clone. Last week, I thought he looked like a Road Warrior cast off. I don't think they should have cut his hair off for last week's show, but I like the bald look better than the Muppet hair style. | Jakegnosis

Unlike most, I didn't really give a shit about the questionable makeup job last week. If that's the WWE answer to "horribly scarred," that's fine with me, because it makes sense storyline-wise, especially with JR overselling it like a motherfucker.
The mask, however, is Kane's trademark. Taking his mask off ruins his look and makes him just another big bald guy. It's kind of like giving Austin a Kevin Nash mid-nineties hairstyle and shaving his beard. It kills the most recognizable part of the character, the bit that makes him an individual, who you recognize at a glance and mark out for.
It's a bad idea, WWE.
I guess we'll see tonight. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
