The Reason Kane Returned With The Mask + More

— The I.P.A. Network is now accepting autograph signing bookings for former WWE star John Morrison. Contact Steve Woolf at celebritysignings@sbcglobal.net (951) 780-9611.

— WWE Tough Enough contestant Rima Fakih appears on MTV’s MADE Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

— At the conclusion of the 2011 Slammy Awards, Kane reemerged, once again masked. The Big Red Monster locked his hand around the neck of John Cena and left him laying with a devastating chokeslam.

One reason for Kane resurfacing with a mask is because WWE officials are looking to set a new Guinness World Record for the “largest gathering of people wearing costume masks” at WrestleMania XXVIII in Miami, Florida. The current record was set May 10, 2011 during a Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox at Angel Stadium of Anaheim when roughly 25,000 fans donned red Lucha masks during a designated ten minute time period.

Another reason for the masked return is because WWE wants to be able to sell masks, especially during the holiday season. With Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio currently sidelined, that leaves only Kane as a guy who can sell masks.
