Yepp. Kane, in a suit and tie, officially joined the group tentatively called The Authority. He joins Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, WWE Champion Randy Orton and The Shield, making him the 7th member of the dominant stable. I'm guessing Kane, The Shield and one other Superstar will form a corporate team for the annual 5 on 5 Survivor Series match coming up -- but let's focus on Kane's look for now.
Kane has always had a "fire and brimstone" gimmick. He's always been a monster, and even when he was spoofing himself or playing in the buddy comedy that was Kane & Daniel Bryan, he has always been a demonic character. First he never spoke, then he started talking, then he took his mask off and started talking a lot, then he put the mask back on...but now he's a completely different beast.
He came out to the same entrance music on Monday, with the fire and everything, which didn't fit his new look at all, but he definitely had a different attitude about him, a different gait or something. This marks the biggest change Kane has made in his career. I don't know if they'll also change his entrance theme, but they should. Characters go through transformations, and this could really work for Kane.
He still looks intimidating, and we know he can still do some damage in the ring. This new Kane will succeed or fail based on his "marketing" and his promos, which could really go anywhere at this point.
We'll always have this monstrous incarnation of Kane:
But I for one am excited by his drastic transformation, and I can't wait to see where it goes.
Respect The Authority!
Until next time, have a nice day, and don't be a jabroni.
