KANE appears at Judgment Day
by Matt Duda
His torn biceps may keep Kane out of the ring for two or three
more months, but the Big Red Machine isn't about to pass on
watching Judgment Day.
The Big Red Machine filtered through the backstage area Sunday
shortly before the doors opened at the Gaylord Entertainment
Center.
"I just wanted to say hello to everybody, stop by and see
some people just so everybody remembers what my face looks
like," Kane told WWE.com.
Kane recently underwent surgery to repair his torn muscle and now
bears a few scars and an elaborate brace on his right arm.
Although he could bend his arm with relative ease, he still must
work to regain a full range of motion and can not lift
significant amounts of weight.
On Sunday, he was all smiles as virtually every superstar and WWE
staff member in Nashville made it a point to stop and inquire
about his status.
"I'm thinking about just putting a sign around my
neck," he joked.
But so far, frustration has not dampened Kane's spirits.
"The way I look at it, everyday I'm one step closer to being
back," he said. "It's like the closer you get, the
longer the day becomes. The number of days decreases, but the
time seems like it increases. I've been fortunate enough that
this is really the first serious injury I've ever had. I've
overcome every other one I've ever had."
While some superstars find watching WWE shows frustrating while
laid up with an injury, the former WWE Champion asserted that he
hasn't felt upset at all.
"It's hard sometimes. I've been there before and I
understand that point of view. Right now, I'm watching as an
interested spectator. The closer and closer I get to being back,
I'll be watching from a different perspective, wondering how
things affect me and what I might be able to do when I get
back."
In fact, Kane said he is eager to see how Judgment Day plays out.
Of particular interest to him are the Hell in a Cell Match
between Y2J and Triple H, and the WWE Undisputed Championship
showdown with Hollywood Hulk Hogan facing the Undertaker.
"Of course, I always love watching the Undertaker work. It
will be interesting to see how that turns out because the
Undertaker is a very different character than he was in 1991 and
1992 (the last time Taker faced Hogan). The Hell in a Cell Match
is always very intense, very physical and grueling. Every
Pay-Per-View we have is stacked. But those are the two matches
I'm really looking forward to."
