Line 5:
** The rejoicing continued as it was confirmed that Kane was feuding with [[John Cena]] as opposed to [[Mark Henry]]. A feud with Henry would have almost certainly been a rehash of Henry's ongoing feud with [[The Big Show]], and it's widely accepted that the quality of the matches that the two would have had would have been...lacking, to say the least. Instead we get Kane verse Cena, where speed will play a factor, plus Kane's playing the heel, which has always been given his strongest performances.
* [[Badass Decay]]: Some will point to the Katie Vick angle as an example of this - and it certainly counts - but most will point to a single moment: when Kane lost his mask. Many fans feel he's never recovered from this.
** The moment itself is being treated as [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]] by [[WWE]] these days. In a recent storyline Kane stated that he was unmasked by [[The Undertaker]] (though he ''was'' unmasked by the Undertaker at one point a couple years before his permanent unmasking, he put the mask back on afterwards).
*** 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.
