Is Abyss a knock off of Kane?

Question

Abyss and the masked Kane seem to share a lot of similarities. My point is that Abyss a blantant rip off of Kane.

Your opinion?

I compare Abyss to Kane because both were silent characters (well, Abyss did do a lot of incoherant shouting) Then out of no where, Abyss starts to speak. Kane was the same way for the most part. Both are depicted to have disturbing pasts. The original Mankind was just a schizo.

Answer 1

Most people say Kane, but I say the old Mankind gimmick.

When Mankind wore that brown ring attire, had Paul Pearer, the mask, stayed around the broiler room, and he didn't really talk...did a lot of sceching.

Abyss...has the mask.....had a dark manager...hungout in dark places on the TNA show, and didn't talk

size wise he is like Kane, but gimmick wise he is like the old Mankind

If you smell lalalalalala low what Mrrrrrrrrrrr Ken-ne-dy..........Ken-ne-dy is cooking!

Answer 2

I will admit that Abyss is very similar to Kane. In fact, TNA may have took the idea. But guess, what? Abyss has accomplished what Kane never did. Abyss is a great wrestler. Abyss has way more moves and finishers than Kane does. Kane just does the big boot and chockslam. Abyss knows how to wrestle. And he makes it exciting. And he is extremly hardcore. Chockslams on to thumbtacks. Currently, Kane isn't very exciting. In fact. only think cool about Kane is his gimmick. Without that, Kane is just...normal. Abyss without his gimmick would still be over with the fans.

Answer 3

No!!!!! Abyss has similarities to Kane & Mankind!!!

Answer 4

Answer 5

No. He's a knock off of Mankind. The original, not when he had Mr Socko.
