Extreme KANE

25JUL2006: Coming home from Italy, where he dove into promotional appearances for 'SEE NO EVIL', KANE headed to Detroit, Tuesday night, to try and win the ECW World Championship from Big Show in an Extreme Rules Match.

The former partners and World Tag Team Champions were no strangers to each other, and had ended their partnership on a sour note. The two giants battled each other back and forth using anything at hand, drawing blood from Show! After escaping a pinfall following Show’s signature chokeslam, and getting in one of his own, KANE was denied his pin when the ref's count was hampered by Heyman, and Show was able to retain his title.

KANE WOWS Italian Fans

KANE In Italy
Milan, Italy
20JUL2006

In Milan to promote "See No Evil", opening in Italian theatres July 28th, KANE participated in a Q&A with fans and journalists. Here's a brief sample of questions put to KANE, loosely translated.

The first impact of the wrestler is amazing, KANE does indeed inspire fear (above and beyond what is seen in the film in the form of the evil Jacob Goodnight) thanks to his build and appearance but, as soon as he speaks and addresses his fans, one can see he is indeed likeable, affable and accommodating.

Which scenes were the most difficult, easiest and most amusing to do? KANE says the scenes with Jacob's mother were the most difficult to perform, the easiest would have been, obviously, the killing scenes, which he said were also the most amusing.

Which wrestler would you like to make a movie with? KANE says Undertaker, since they have always worked well together.

About the possibility of a sequel to "See No Evil", KANE indicates his wrestling career is most important to him, and he would not make another film if it were to interfere or hinder that. Having said this, if the WWE wants to make a go of it, he wouldn't exclude the possibility . . . he wants revenge on the damned dog! (LMAO! This is in reference to the final scene in the movie!)

A question of whether he'd be interested in Hollywood, and what genre, had KANE joking about a humorous movie with The Rock.

KANE also addressed the circulating rumors of his retirement from the WWE in 2007. He indicated having heard of the rumors, that decision would be up to him, and, not wanting to disappoint or abandon his fans, this was not the time to end his career.

Asked how much his life has changed since removing his mask, KANE says more fans recognize him in airports, and that's fine because he likes to interact with his fans. At this point, the microphone he's using stops working and KANE jokes when he wore a mask and didn't speak much, instances like malfunctioning microphones didn't happen.

Someone wanted to know which of his female cast appealed to him most. KANE said in his wrestling career he hadn't had much luck with women, as seen with Lita, so he preferred to avoid the actresses.

When asked if he associated in any way with the part he played, KANE said given what he does in the WWE, it was very easy for him to play the role of a psychopath.
