Kane believes he’d gone as far as he could with his mask on by the time he lost it in 2003 on an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.
On the June 23rd, 2003 edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Kane would lose a world championship match with Triple H, with a secondary stipulation being that if he lost, he would have to remove his mask.
While speaking on WWE’s Photo Shoot YouTube series, Kane spoke about the decision to lose his mask, noting that he had gone as far as he could with the mask on.
“We shaved my head part way because Bruce Prichard thought that was a very unique look of having half a head of hair, and I was like, ‘dude, that’s ridiculous.’ So we ended up cutting the rest of it off as well. But to my mind, I’d gone as far as I could with the mask on. I mean, it adds a lot of mystique to the character. But it also didn’t allow me to use my face to portray emotion, and our business is all about emotion. It’s about portraying emotion to the crowd and eliciting an emotional reaction from the crowd. I felt that I was limited in that respect. This is what we did.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Kane spoke about his pyro cue. You can read more about that here.
