Elephant in the Ring #2 - Rey Mysterio Dead?

So, FINALLY the mystery is solved. What was in the burlap sack. But...what the hell did it mean? Kane killed Rey Mysterio? Who knows? But I think this might be Kane's ticket BACK to insane-hood. This might be the way that gives Kane that "heel feel" back. Because Kane has been on the heel-face roller coaster and has been riding it for way too long.

For instance, when he's heel....he's Taker's brother....he's dead...he sits up...he's indestructable....he's terrorizing everyone in his path. When he's face...he's a jobber....he slowly gets up....he's undesirable....he's....terrible (the bad version to be...not the "Ivan the Terrible" terrible...but more the "Brooklyn Brawler" terrible).

Kane needs a psycho angle, again. I know I am not the only one that misses the whole "Kane is psycho" angle that he does once every year. This year it's Mysterio, last year it was "May 19th", leading up to WrestleMania 20 it was that Taker was dead, and the list can go on and on my friend.

But here's where things get creepy...why Rey Mysterio? Is he ditching the mask and taking a serious role? Is he going to plan to be a smaller version of the Undertaker? It's not going to be easy to make this work.

Last time Kane said that someone was battered and bruised and totally scared from head to toe...wasn't it Kane when he was masked? Then he revealed....nothing was wrong with him and that it was, basically, all in his head. So does this mean him "hurting" Rey Mysterio is all....in his head and he just bought a replica Rey mask in WWE ShopZone? Or did he, finally, do something psycho to a wrestler (IF YOU SAY J.R. IS A WRESTLER I WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE YOU TAP THE FRIG OUT!).

It's something to keep an eye on in the weeks to come. Is Rey going to come out next week/a few weeks from now with a mask? Is he going to be unmasked like he did in WCW when Y2J unmasked him? Is he going to be brutally maimed and scarred like Kane said? It will be an interesting way to see how the WWE team will decide to do when this whole thing unravels in a few weeks.

As for now....if he's alive or dead....Kane and Rey Mysterio is the new Elephant in the Ring....and don't say that date!
