I'd say that a fan is lucky to get one piece of memorabilia thrown into the crowd in a lifetime, and you scored twice in one night?! Kudos for letting the kid have the third item.

I just finished up this collage, which shows every leather mask that Kane has worn throughout his career. My mask is #8. Because it was worn only three times, photo matching it was difficult but thankfully, Kane didn't wear as many masks as the number of bats a baseball player goes through in a season. Photo matching a game bat or something like that must be a nightmare.

mdube16 - I have seen that video, more than once. Impressive, indeed. This is stereotypical, but that is not exactly what you'd expect to hear from a professional wrestler.
Groovy shirts! Did you get those at the same event? How was CM Punk in person? I hear that he can be quite rude.
The pics with Rey and Taker are neat. I used to own a Mysterio ring mask. Something I probably should have held onto for dear life, but I sold it some time back.
!

Yes I got both shirts at one event. I actually had my hands on a 3rd shirt from the Miz, but i cant bring myself to pull it from a youngster who had the other half.

I have heard stories about Punk being difficult as well, but he was great with us and even chatted for a bit. I asked him if the Cubs love was real and he motioned me to come close, smiled and wispered "oh yes...thats real".

indyred - Thank you, sir! Yes, WWE used to auction off ring gear. Each piece of memorabilia came with an official WWE Certificate of Authenticity. Unfortunately, WWE only guarantees items that they sell. I phoned WWE regarding my mask and they wouldn't even consider sending a document verifying its authenticity, despite the fact that I had personal communication from the very employee who made it. I am still pursuing some sort of documentation from WWE as I feel that my mask deserves it. Objectively speaking, it is one of the more significant pieces of memorabilia out there and WWE should consider giving it their stamp of approval. Kane has only ever worn 16 handcrafted leather masks (the current mask is latex) and I am aware of no other fan who has one.

nevrdiez34 - Cool thread!

GameUsedGR61 - Those are big words, man. Thank you so much! I am aware of Glenn's involvement in the political scene. While I appreciate and agree with much of his political ideology, I hope that his bid for the Tennessee State Senate does not end up compromising his wrestling career. He is one of the only reasons that I continue to watch WWE programming.
That's a damn cool photo. I run a Facebook group dedicated to Kane-centric discussion and we have a photo in our gallery of another fan at this same event. Check it.

cliffjmp33 - Thanks! I'm glad you like it, dude!

WWE house show won shirts from Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. Caught them both personally when thrown into the crowd:






Have done many signings and pictures with wresters over the past few years with my obsessed son, but here are a few of my favorite pics:

Before I post any WWE/WWF stuff.....have you ever seen Kane talk politics?

Count me in for wanting to see WWE/WWF memorabilia, as well as some of the other old wrestling circuits, too.!

Please don't laugh at this polaroid as this was in the late 90's

Have people stopped using Polaroids? Is there some new technology I don't know about?

Re: World Wrestling Entertainment - Kane's ring worn mask from Survivor Series 2000

Yea I have to agree that is probably the coolest wrestling memorabilia I have everseen. On an unrelated note, Kane aka Glenn Jacobs is apparently a big libertarian and may run for Senator in Tennessee in the GOP primaries. He is a huge Ron Paul supporter.

I met Kane once at an autograph signing at a flea market. Please don't laugh at this polaroid as this was in the late 90's

Great mask!
Cool seeing used pro wrestling stuff.

I know we had a pretty decent sized thread in here with people showing off what they had.
Not sure anymore. But didn't WWE used to sell quite a bit match used stuff on their site at one time. Even had holograms and COA to go with it. Looked like they knew what they were doing.

Hey Frankie,

I think you may be right about Michael wanting to see more WWE items posted on the site in general. However, if we were to start another thread, it certainly wouldn't be complete without it including your mask anyway. I hope you don't mind members posting additional WWF/WWE items here as well. That is, it wouldn't truly be a "show me..." WWE thread without your mask in it.

-Chris

Sure, man. If you think it would be most beneficial to the site to include all wrestling memorabilia here, I'm okay with that. Bring it on, guys!

Re: World Wrestling Entertainment - Kane's ring worn mask from Survivor Series 2000

BucksCollector, Phil, Geoff, Chris - Thanks, guys! The mask is very special to me and I am happy to see that it is appreciated by others, as well.


I think that BucksCollector might have meant that he'd like to see more WWE items on the site in general, not in this specific thread, but I'm totally okay with it being posted here. That ring is beautiful - certain to be a centerpiece of any WWE memorabilia collection!

Regarding your comment about wanting to see other WWF/WWE items on this thread, here is Yokozuna's WWE Hall of Fame Ring:

The ring was presented to Yokozuna's son as it was given posthumously. It was pretty rare to see someone of Yokozuna's size with his athletic ability. Not to take anything away from the mask but I figured some might want to see given the request to post other items here.
