Well that was.....lame....

Predictability has a bad rap. A lot of times people call things "predictable," when in reality, the story is just progressing logically. With that in mind, when Kane opened up his bag and revealed his mask last night, it would have been predictable. But it also would have made perfect sense. And it would've been wonderful character development.

Instead, Kane takes out....Rey Mysterio's mask? Yeah, that makes sense...

Let me get this straight: On July 7th, 2008 Kane was pinned by Batista in a four-way match to determine the #1 Contender for CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship. This loss made the big man snap, and he went ballistic while vaguely asking "Is he alive.....or dead????" We now know that his "he" refers to Rey Mysterio.

Yes, the Rey Mysterio who competed earlier in that night, soundly defeating Santino Marella. So, being that Mysterio was quite clearly alive earlier in the night -- and, for that matter, had absolutely nothing to do with is traumatic loss -- why exactly was Kane so confused?

Maybe he caught a glimpse of how the storyline was going to play out. But hey, congratulations on that CINE award.

As a post-script, I would like to acknowledge that I thought the actual scene was written quite well, and that I thought it was wise to bring up the fact that everybody had pretty much pieced together that Kane was carrying around his mask and referring to his former self. I just think they missed out on a great opportunity to re-invent and refresh Kane's character.
