Broken Skull Sessions: 6 facts we learned from Kane's appearance 

#1. The real reason why Kane wore a mask

Kane's scars from the fire were seemingly all internal

Kane became best known for his mask throughout his career, but many fans have pointed out that considering Kane was in a fire and he then wore a mask to cover his scars, why didn't Kane have any scars when he took his mask off. This was something that The Big Red Machine addressed when he spoke to Stone Cold.

"My motivation, my thought behind that character was, there was a book by Thomas Harris who wrote the Hannibal Lecter stuff and one of his villains was the Red Dragon and the Red Dragon was this dude that had a cleft pallet when he was younger and had it surgically repaired but also had an abusive childhood.

"So looked like a normal dude, had a mustache, couldn't even tell he had ever had a cleft pallet all his scars were on the inside and that's what I felt when people were like, well Kane doesn't have any scars from the fire."

"That was the thing, he never had any scars but he wore a mask the whole time because he was convinced he did."
