See More Evil

November 27, 2006
By Zack Zeigler (wwe.com)

WWE Films’ pioneer movie venture, See No Evil, starring Kane, is now available on DVD. For those WWE fans who missed the bloodbath that Kane’s character Jacob Goodnight produces in the film, the DVD promises all the gore and more from what was seen in theaters, plus never-before-seen behind the scenes footage and interviews.

“The DVD contains interesting technical aspects of the film – namely how some of the kills were done and the makeup, which I find intriguing,” Kane said with a wry smile. “It also has commentary tracks from the director, the executive producer and myself.”

See No Evil was Kane’s first feature film and although it was well received by WWE fans and a terrific beginning for WWE’s film division, the Big Red Machine says he’s looking forward to getting his hands on the DVD and has not taken or considered another starring movie role.

“The DVD is going to be a big hit; I’m very excited about it…but I don’t have any [future film projects] scheduled. The role in See No Evil was a perfect fit for me, but otherwise I’m concentrating on my thing here in WWE,” said the recent SmackDown acquisition.

To relive the gore of See No Evil over and over, and for extra material not seen in theaters, including an exclusive Kane WWE profile which highlights the big man’s career highlights, be sure to check out the DVD.

A Crushin' Defeat

SmackDown! 24th November, 2006
Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY
KANE took a moment to stop and smile as he gazed upon the Steel Cage where in mere moments he would have Montel Vontavious Porter at his mercy. The Long Island crowd popped loud and long for the Big Red Machine as he hoisted himself through the cage door and onto the ring apron with one long clean move, glancing around to make sure all was in order.

All eyes, including KANE's were on the elaborate gold closed awning emblazeoned with the letters M-V-P as the brash newby's music blared across the arena. For a moment, the only movement from the structure was the fluttering of the front curtain, and I wondered if MVP had dared to pull a no-show . . . but no, wearing sunglasses and clad in purple instead of blue, MVP strut through the curtain as if SmackDown! was his show, turning to watch as his entrance-way exploded in falmes.

KANE watches, like a hungy tiger eying his next meal, as MVP enters the cage and ring, then seems to check the cage door to make sure it's secure. As MVP turns, he finds himself face to face with KANE, who wraps his hands around his neck then tosses him into the nearest ring post. As KANE runs in he's met with an elbow followed by a burst of rights to the head and kicks to the midsection which has him hunching low in the corner. MVP takes this opportunity to high tail it to the opposite side of the ring and start to climb the cage chain-link walls, but KANE has recovered and moved swiftly to halt Porter's escape, throwing him back into the center of the ring.

MVP eyes KANE warily, then attempts an unsuccessful low kick followed by a swift right which KANE deftly blocks and parries with a right uppercut of his own that sends MVP down hard. Porter crawls toward the cage door, KANE pulls him back to ring center, MVP signals for a time-out then seems to plead with KANE to give him a break. KANE complies, delivering a right boot squarely to MVP's gold lamed chest before picking him up from off the canvas and ramming his head into the turnbuckle. KANE continues to assult MVP ending with a leg drop right across MVP's face and as he rises, MVP attempts to crawl away.

The fans are heatedly into this match as KANE gives MVP another taste of the turnbuckle folowed by another barrage of fists and a back body drop that has Porter once again crawling for the safety of the now opened cage door. KANE bows Porter up then lands an elbow to his face, effectively stopping escape, then picks the poor guy up to use him as a battering ram on the chain link fence wall. MVP blocks, scampering down KANE's back then kicks him in the back of the leg followed by a trip to the ropes where his topples KANE to the apron with a dropkick! KANE regains his feet, only to be slammed back first into the cage by MVP's body. MVP drops another elbow then starts to climb - KANE lands on in Porter's back then manuevers to seat MVP on his shoulders, setting up for a spinebuster, but Porter begins to punch at KANE's head, KANE staggers back into the ropes, Porter drops down then rushes at KANE to be felled by an elbow. MVP ducks a clothesline and rounds off with a kick in KANE's midsection followed by a few knees to KANE's head ending with a swinging neckbreaker.

KANE is down and MVP starts to climb again. The crowd is roaring now, and no doubt MVP believes it's for his escape to victory . . . but no. KANE has risen, as he does in that deadman-sit-up way of his, and the crowd is loving it! KANE climbs the rope just as MVP straddles the top of the cage, grabs hold and pulls Porter back onto the top rope where the two blow for blow until one from KANE sends MVP crashing back onto the mat. KANE picks up the beleagured guy and sends him staggering back into the ring ropes with a well placed punch followed by more rights and a couple mighty clotheslines.

Instead of walking out of the cage, KANE scoops up the crumpled MVP to throw him back first into the steel cage wall, watching grimly as Porter crashes down to the apron. MVP staggers to his feet and KANE delivers a Big Boot that send him right back into the cage wall. The fans are tearing the roof off the arena as KANE unleashes his fury on MVP before going up top-rope to deliver a flying clothesline. Again KANE opts not to take a walk, picking MVP up he climbs to the top rope and with his huge hand around Porter's throat he goes to chokeslam him off the top rope! Cole and JBL are on fire now as the fans scream their approval - but MVP rustles up enough strength to reach up and rake KANE's eyes then follow with desperate head clubbing and a lamming of KANE's pate into the steel cage. MVP delivers a knee to KANE's middle, then kicks KANE's leg out from under, sending the Big Red Machine down hard to straddle the top rope. KANE grimaces, hands to the rope to aleiviate the tension - and MVP scrambles up and over the top, dropping down on the other side as KANE recovers in time to realize he's lost this match.

KANE mutters in frustration, slamming his hand off the rope as he watches MVP stagger for the ramp and backstage. As we fade out, JBL and Michael Cole remind us once again that these two will be meeting again at Survivor Series on opposite five man teams . . . KANE will be on Team Cena - MVP will be on the Big Show's team . . . in an Elimination match.

KANE on 1st Blood

"These types of matches are completely different than any other. The goal is different, and things can get pretty brutal because of that."

That's KANE's call on WWE First Blood Matches in a WWE article posted November 11th in the Survivor Series section.

"I think his [Undertaker] strategy is going to be the same as it always is. Just to be physically dominant. Basically the match is made for him - the strategy is to beat the guy into submission, and that's what he always does."

KANE gave his take on his brother's mindset based on his own experience - against Stone Cold Steve Austin back in 1998. That experience, at King of the Ring, was the only time KANE won the WWE Championship.

More Mayhem in Manchester

Smackdown 17th November, 2006
Manchester, UK
Backstage, Teddy Long approaches KANE tells him since there's no disqualification so he can do his own thing in tonight’s Street Fight, and drops a quick plug for the DVD release of ‘See No Evil’ coming soon. The fans go nuts at the sight of KANE who says nothing, just stares off as Long walks away.

KANE stalks out to a huge crowd pop, pacing in the ring as MVP makes his entrance. KANE lunges at MVP who ducks then unloads with power punches on KANE in the corner. He tries to whip KANE across the ring but it's reversed and MVP is met by the boot of KANE as he comes off the ropes. KANE whips him across the ropes and delivers a back body drop followed by a clothesline then taking to him with heavy foot before MVP rolls out onto the apron. KANE picks him up from the apron but MVP drops to the floor, hanging KANE on the top rope while he goes for a chair that ends up kicked out of his hands by KANE.

MVP makes a run for it but KANE meets him around the side. MVP can't get back in the ring fast enough before he's grabbed by KANE who beats him all the way up the ramp and into the stage props. MVP rallies back, pushing KANE into the phone booth and shuts the door. Somehow MVP seems to think he's safe with a bit of glass and wood between them so he starts taunting "How do ya like that, huh?" KANE answers, punching through the glass door. The blast knocks MVP down flat on his back! KANE shoves MVP in the booth, and as the crowd cheers him on, tips it over letting MVP spill out the broken top! KANE lifts the near broken man up, carries him to the ring and tosses him in as Cole remarks MVP is bleeding from the forehead.

As KANE re-enters the ring, MVP used a chair from earlier to gain the advantage, ramming it into KANE's middle then slamming it across KANE's back as he's doubled over. KANE rolls out of the ring now, but as MVP swoops in he gets a kick to the midsection from KANE and the fight carries on ringside with MVP taking a pummeling. JBL tells MVP he'd better not bleed on his hat, only to have KANE knock the bloodied man right onto the announce table and JBL. JBL looks to make something of this, but backs off as KANE continues his assault on MVP. Back in the ring now, MVP is on the canvas as KANE takes up the steel chair, but Porter rallies again, turns the tables, DDT's KANE onto the chair and goes for the pin, but KANE kicks out at two as we go to commercial.

MVP is battering KANE in the ring corner then moves back to charge in with a stunning kick to KANE's head that has the big guy staggering out to ring center where Porter connects another kick to the back of KANE's leg followed by a vicious clothesline, sending KANE crashing to the canvas. MVP jukes now, laying in an elbow drop to the prone KANE's head before going for another two. Undaunted, fired up now, MVP goes outside to retrieve the ring-bell and returns to use it, but KANE has risen and catches MVP around the throat with one hand. Porter uses the ring bell to break the grasp, then lam KANE in the face with it, and the enraged monster is laid out cold. Porter takes a bit of a breather, his back to the felled giant, and is stunned to turn around and see KANE sit up! The fans are wild now as KANE gains his feet and the advantage.

KANE unleashes on MVP, tearing into him from 'pillar to post' until MVP looks more like a life-sized battered stuffed toy laying on the ring canvas. KANE signals for the crowd to liven up, gets set for his choke slam, then decides to play a bit more. Going outside the ring, he unseats the top rung of the steel steps then tosses it into the ring. MVP can only muster enough strength to roll out of the way as the steel meets canvas next to him. KANE retrieves the steel and as he's poised to use them on Porter, Kennedy flies in from nowhere to hit him in the back. KANE turns his attention on Kennedy who's wielding the bloody mic he used on The UnderTaker with last week, but KANE grabs him about the throat. MVP rallies up to deliver a low blow on KANE from behind to save Kennedy from having the life choked out of him. As KANE staggers about, Kennedy and MVP lift the steel steps together to mow KANE down to the canvas where MVP makes the pin and takes the win.

With Kennedy in the ring next to him, MVP continued to assault KANE until the lights go down and the eerie music of The UnderTaker wafts out with the blue light and billows of fog! The heels scamper out as The UnderTaker makes his way to the ring, starring them down before casting a cursory glance back on his prone brother. Kennedy shoves MVP back in the ring who, pleading, slides back away from the PHEnom then stands and turns just in time to watch KANE sit up again! As the giant rises, MVP turns back toward The UnderTaker who lands a heavy right into MVP's face that spins him around to KANE who plants a right that turns MVP back to the PHEnom. Back and forth the Brothers land punch for punch until The UnderTaker grasps MVP by the throat amid wild crowd clamor! KANE locks in a hold too, and, with a nod from KANE, the Brothers of Destruction deliver the double choke slam as Kennedy watches from the ramp.

As KANE stands over MVP, arms wide and rising, Slow Chemical running a close second to the roar of the crwod, The UnderTaker moves to the ring ropes to stare Kennedy, who is now backing slowly up the ramp, down. With some distance between them, Kennedy's mouth unlocks and he sneers at The UnderTaker, asking if he wants a piece of him before faking a ring return to turn and mark time to the back. Later, Teddy Longs tells a whining MVP he'll be meeting KANE in a Steel Cage next week on SmackDown!
