I'm not giving DB any shit, but he seemed like the type that would have a "Brett Favre" performance out there on RAW in the wake of his father passing, then maybe go absent for a week or two.

I figured that would be the route they would have taken.

Honestly, that's what I expected and now I feel deflated.

Cena is a bitch

 

[yankeeforever2]

Almost like they need to get serious heat on the challenger or something

It funny Kane has job so much the past 6 months they needed a way to make him a threat again for extreme rules.

 

[Talamius]

This is actually good. Establishes Kane as a monster again, and gets Bryan off the show for the night. Crowd is selling it well and we've already established that Bryan simply cannot be buried.

Kane needs to come out and randomly destroy people through the show now.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I'm intrigued by this idea of Kane in "demon form" - presumably his other form is "corporate form", but are there more forms? Also, how do you go about switching him from one form to another? I'd like to think Steph, Trips & Vince have to go through some ridiculous occult ritual to make it happen.

Damn, someone give me the book.

There's also origin form, speed form, attack form, defense form, Therian form...

 

[melonrabbit]

Do we know for sure he's going home for the night or will he make it back for the main event?

Give Kane the monster mask as a hold item to access demon forme, pokemon logic.

 

[Ecliptor]

Steph new champ

 

[Surge]

Why does Steph give a shit about this when her husband basically tried to do the same thing 50 times?

Shh...we aren't supposed to remember that.

 

[Dark Ninja]

low talk we don't want to wake Daniel Bryan up

 

[The Elite]

Steph is the champ.

 

[GQman2121]

Didn't Kane get completely bitched by Bryan like a week or two before WM? Why would anyone think Kane has a chance at a ppv? Oh, I see because of what he was just able to do. Wrestling....

Burnt Voice Box Kane>Can Actually Talk Kane>Topless Kane>Bald Kane with Taz Towel>Half Mask Kane>Corporate Kane>Demon Kane.

 

[polyh3dron]

Steph was terrible, but it also makes Kane look like a legit monster heel in a very quick fashion, which is what you need to do if you're suppose to have people buy into him being a challenge for a guy who just beat Evolution at WM.

Nah Kane will never be a legit monster heel ever again, they've gone to that well a few too many times and it's just a joke now.

Korporate Kane was the only halfway decent thing they've done with him lately.

 

[slightconfuse]

Just to be clear

Triple H destroying Bryan ok

Kane destroying him not ok

 

[toddhunter]

The sad thing is Kane was just built up 100 times more than Brock was before he beat the Undertaker.

 

[serenewarfare]

To those who disliked the angle, what would you have done to get Bryan off TV to be able to go home to his family plus make Kane seem legitimate? Seems like by far the best way to do it. You couldn't have him not show up for the second straight week, especially when he was advertised heavily last week to be there tonight.

 

[Brinbe]

take your time coming back, d.brine. says a lot that he even just did that considering the circumstances.

 

[FallingEdge]

This is a new Kane.

Damn, someone give me the book.

I imagine it's similar to Jushin Liger vs. Kishin Liger. Or Joseph Park vs. Abyss.

 

[Thorakai]

Damn I hate it when they extend segments like by showing off the body being carted off.

 

[Gorillaz]

Definitely could have been handled a different way. Shit feels like they came up with it 15 mins before the show started.

 

[Officerrob]

That was a different Kane, this Kane has his mask!!!! ( Or some such bullshit)

 

[Vylash]

So uh...there was no reason for Brie?

 

[Sanjuro]

Honestly, that's what I expected and now I feel deflated.

It's also not his call anyway. He could have been good to go, and they just figured since he was out last week..

...wait Steph has the belts...

three consecutive tombstones on the outside, could have saved 2/3 the time

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Yeah they can stop calling him the demon.

 

[BronsonLee]

STEPH WON THE BELTS
And ya this is how you write out Bryan and Brie so they can grieve/get Kane over

 

[blackaroni]

So uh...there was no reason for Brie?

Total Divas.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

So uh...there was no reason for Brie?

Goes well with wine... so it served WrassleGAF well...

OOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

High5...

 

[DominoKid]

oh damn i didn't know DBry's dad died IRL.

i'm fine w/ how they did this.

 

[Nameless]

Kane will be turn face over the summer to job to Rusev.

 

[Sanjuro]

STEPH WON THE BELTS
And ya this is how you write out Bryan and Brie so they can grieve/get Kane over

Tournament for the IC and HW titles?!

YES YES YES YES YES

 

[abstract alien]

I liked it *shrugs*

 

[BassForever]

Well I guess if you're trying to sell us on Kane being the final boss for Extreme Rules this will get the job done

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Cena is a bitch

 

[The Elite]

Steph has a tough job as well. She's got to keep that heat but she obviously doesn't want to be a total bitch with Bryan this week.

Segment was a bit awkward but they achieved enough to setup the Extreme Rules match.

 

[UberTag]

They should do what they did when Punk walked out.
Hold an impromptu tourney for the WWE title and have somebody win... then challenge Cena and lose.
Perhaps Rey can win them again.

 

[slightconfuse]

Never seen anthing like that

JBL triple H did that 2 weeks ago!!

 

[Sanjuro]

I liked it *shrugs*

It wasn't WWE bad, it was just weird.

Probably the strangest and most impromptu opening I've seen in a while.

 

[Brinbe]

BAAAAD NEWWWWZ

 

[Vylash]

MAIN EVENT TIME

 

[GaimeGuy]

YES. BARRETT

 

[Ultratech]

With that out of the way....BNB with his badass cape!

 

[blackaroni]

CAAAAAPE!!!!

With pyro!

 

[Big One]

Barrett with a face pop? Again?!

 

[Surge]

Come on King...

That t shirt is atrocious

 

[jred2k]

Damn, someone give me the book.

I think it might literally be the plot to the Jim Carrey movie The Mask. Hopefully Kane's dog doesn't get a hold of that thing.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Bad News Barrett got... cheers?!

 

[ramoisdead]

Based Baltimore crowd cheering for the Bad News.
