The scarred and demented Kane was forced to unmask inside Madison Square Garden on RAW in 2003.

When Kane joined the WWE at the 1997 Bad Blood Pay Per View, one of the most striking parts of the Big Red Machine was his mask. Supposedly covering his horribly burned face, Kane's mask sent a chill down the spine of countless fans, and though it went through some changes over the years, the sense of dread it brought remained the same.

In 2003 though, Kane was forced to put his mask on the line on RAW against Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship. Meeting in the World's Most Famous Arena, it was The Game who emerged the victor, thanks to an assist by Evolution. Forced to unmask, Kane's fragile psyche would go with the headpiece, as moments after unmasking, the Big Red Machine attacked his tag team partner Rob Van Dam.

This would lead to a feud between the two former Tag Team Champions that would see the Big Red Machine decimate Van Dam at that year's SummerSlam, proving that there was no going back for Kane, who would spend years uncovered before donning a new mask in late 2011.
