*** Remember, the person who said Undertaker had unmasked Kane was Kane himself, and in kayfabe, Kane's always been a little...unbalanced. So Kane could have convinced himself that it was Undertaker who caused him to permanently unmasked, even though it was actually [[Triple H]] who was the mastermind behind the unmasking, because he hates Undertaker that much. |

** In an interview, Glen Jacobs claimed that the only people 100% behind the unmasking were [[Vince McMahon]]...and himself. He felt that they had taken the character as far as they could behind the mask, and that the addition of facial expression allowed him to add more depth to the performance. He also noted that it was becoming increasingly uncomfortable and difficult to wrestle with the mask on, and that removing it was a relief. |

** Really, aside from the [[Special Effects Failure]], the unmasking itself wasn't a problem. In the months immediately following the unmasking, Kane committed such acts as throwing Rob Van Dam(his friend at the time) through a steel cage, setting Good Old J.R. on fire, tombstoning Linda McMahon, electrotorturing Shane O'Mac's testicles with a car battery, beating Shane in the first ambulance match by tombstoning him on the concrete floor, and burying the Undertaker alive. He sent the whole faction of Evolution running scared from him when he made his entrances. The problems started when they put him int he world title picture for all of a month so he could destroy Goldberg so that Triple H could beat him; after that, they didn't have anything for him to do up until the Royal Rumble where they started teasing the Undertaker's return, and from that point it was only a matter of time until he was used to worf to the returned Deadman. Once that storyline was out of the way, they didn't have any idea what to do with him, and it all went down hill from there. |

** His first theme went well with how his character debuted, and his newest theme sounds a bit like his first theme without the guitar riff. Both are awesome. |
