Let's face it...Kane's Character needs some major help and I have some ideas that WWE could use to help "refresh" his character into something more...new! Here we go: -Kane brings a gun to the ring and blows in brains out now wait I know what your thinking... A few weeks later have Kane debut with a new look and new identity, he could be Kane's Bastard son "Able" (Cane and Able you know...from the bible?) Able would be the son of Kane and is back to make sure his fathers legacy was carried on in his absents. - Kane retires and becomes an agent - Becomes a trainer at FCW - Another run as Isaac yankem other then that I have no ideas for the guy... Anyone else? Attachments:

If the idea is to keep him in active competition on the main roster Kane needs to do a complete 180.
No monster act, no undead, zombie, Undertaker-ish superpowers or whatever. No fire, no monologues in the boiler room...he needs to do something completely OUT of character.
I'd have him ditch the mask and all the anguish he carries as Undertaker's little brother and have him go another route, suit and tie, not quite JBL but along those lines.
He's a card carrying member of the Libertarian Party, has an intelligent, thought provoking blog, I'd have him become a brainiac giant.
For so long he's been an unstoppable monster because of his size and strength, moving forward he's going to use his mind and continue on his career using his intelligence more than his brute strength.

I love this idea, the truth is that Glenn Jacobs is a damn fine wrestler for being a big man, and has earned a lot of our respect, but the "Tortured Soul" Kane act has gotten stale, If you look at Taker he has had to reinvent himself a few times. I would love for him to take more of a "Psychological Heel" approach, as opposed to his current "Psycho Heel" character he currently has. Glenn deserves better for the service and workrate he has given to the WWE, imho.

Anyone else? Blowing his brains out wouldn't work in the PG-era WWE, also people are smart enough these days to see through the fact it would be the same guy as a new gimmick, the era of the 80's and 90's gimmicks and storylines are over (even though with Lord Tensei, the WWE doesnt seem to realize this)

Personally I prefer the "retire and never seen again option".

What about a biker gimmick? but with a twist of what you said being smart, he could do a rich JBL/Mean street possie/biker that doesn't actually ride the motorcycle from town to town. Only drives nice BMW bikes etc... lol But your right he is a very smart guy in real life and for someone whos so smart he sure is doing a lot of stupid things with his gimmick

When I say doesn't actually ride the motorcycle I'm talking about those rich dudes that have there bikes "trekked/delivered" into biker festivals. It's kinda funny when you see them

I like the biker idea cabsmell, made me think of doing a kind of Sons of Anarchy like thing maybe.
Actually, scratch that. That seems like a good idea potentially on paper that would actually head straight on like a dive-bomber into wrestlecrap.

Pair him with Damien Sandow as the intellectual trying to reform Kane, but reveal that he's actually trying to make him more dangerous and subservient to him. Eventually Kane would turn on Sandow for trying to make him into a slave/pet.

Dungeon of Kane!!! A cue from the old Dungeon of Doom.
Kane recruits Khali, R-Truth, Justin Gabriel, Tyler Reks, Drew McIntyre as an Irish Warlock, and brings back Viscera the deepest, and darkest of ghettos in New York. They use Curt Hawkins in the Sullivan taskmaster role.
Kane sends his forces after the great white bengal tiger Cena and the straight edge purifier CM Punk. How has this not happened???

I always thought there was an opportunity to bring in Abyss to feud with Kane. Maybe you have a babyface Kane being taunted by someone from his past, someone who was in the insane asylum with him all those years and has some grievance with Kane (for whatever reason)...now he's out for revenge and you have Abyss come in and just demolish Kane. You could even bring in Jim Mitchell with Abyss and hearken back to some old feud between Mitchell and Paul Bearer or something. If nothing else it would have a chance to get Abyss over as a powerhouse.

Why would WWE even acknowledge the existence of Abyss (much less sign him), a Kane/Mankind ripoff who hasn't done anything of note in years?

hire Father James Mitchell to be Kane's manager and never let Kane talk again

I'd like to see him as a manager- have him mentor some emo kid who "embraces the hate" and through old-school vignettes the kid becomes a ruthless crazy man. ...Warrior/ Roberts ;D
