| Very interesting idea for a thread. Obviously I knew about the failed gimmicks which came before the birth of 'Kane', but I had never actually considered this question until I saw this thread. What would he have done? I agree with the general consensus that the Kane character was pretty much his last chance. If that hadn't got over, just like his other gimmicks, he would surely have been let go. ECW seems like the best option, but I can imagine him in WCW too. Good thing the Kane character did get over. I actually think Glen is underrated in his portrayal of Kane, particularly during the masked days when a lot of people said it was easy to do what he does. I thought he was great at portraying the character and showing emotion through his gestures and body language.
"A few weeks prior to signing with WCW, I witnessed Hogan wrestle Flair on Nitro. Now strictly from a fan perspective, it was very hard to watch. What I witnessed that night was two legends that were shells of their former selves still trying to do it. Watching Hogan & Flair that night just wasn't right. In my opinion the bookers were just exploiting them to try to pop a number. It was a desperate situation and that's exactly the way it came across on TV."
