    I'm glad Kane is back, but that was just weird.

    That last close up looked like Kane in the face, but for a minute I could've sworn that was the fucking Undertaker. The hair, body and some of the mannerisms VERY closely resembled Taker.

    It did. My boss even said that it didn't look like Kane at all.

    I can't ever remember Kane having any facial hair. This "Kane" had a whisper of a gray beard.
    The more I think about it, the more I think it was Taker. Not sure why they'd do that -- Undertaker's return will be a big event on its own, without a swerve like that -- but I'd say I'm 80 percent sure that wasn't the real Kane.

    Maybe he forgot to shave?

    Two thoughts with this:

    1) If you were going to have a Jason from "Friday the 13th" type character, then Kane would be the one you would do it with. i.e. The character stays the same, even as the wrestler underneath the mask changes. The horror aspect of his character makes it easy to do so, and you could do something cheesy like have Paul Bearer come out there and explain things.

    2) If the Undertaker is really the guy under the mask, that would be a hell of a swerve, and totally awesome.

    Watching RAW tonight, for whatever reason. Strange promo came on during Alberto's entrance.

    What in the hell...?

    All signs and rumors seem to be pointing towards Jericho or 'Taker.

    I'm looking at the WWE.com pic of Kane beating up Cena ... and strangely enough, he does bear a resemblance to 'Taker. Maybe they've done some special effects work to cover up his tats, or maybe they found a different guy to play the role until it's time for the actual Undertaker to make his appearance.

    It'd be a great way to bring him back, and a great swerve after hyping up Cena/Rock since April if they end up using Rock as a referee for a Taker/Cena WM match.

    Go back and watch Kane's return last week. Kane delivered the chokeslam in the same way the Undertaker delivered his chokeslam, he removed his top mask the way the Undertaker removed his hat, and his eyes, lips and chin resembled the Undertaker's more than Kane's. Even the body structure looked more like the Undertaker:

    Another little thing I noticed watching that video. Right when he hits the top of the ramp, he grabs at his glove. Isn't that an Undertaker thing, when he wears those loose costume gloves?
    I must've watched a half-dozen of Taker's entrances, but he was wearing the MMA gloves in all of them and I couldn't match it up for certain.

    It would be awesome if Jim Ross managed to convince everyone on Twitter that it was, in fact, Kane.

    Second week in a row: I think that's The Undertaker.

    Nah, I say it's Glen Jacobs. Same wide nose and gapped front teeth.
