Well this has got to be a first!
The WWE is acknowledging that Kane has a birthday!
The Big Red Machine celebrated in an oddly appropriate place – Moscow! Well, it’s got a Red Square, hasn’t it? 😉
Kane 26 April 2013 – Kane celebrates his birthday in Moscow: Photos
“Daniel Bryan offers fellow WWE Tag Team Champion Kane a hat for The Big Red Machine’s birthday. The celebration takes place in Moscow, Russia, as part of the WrestleMania Revenge Tour.”
Seriously, I couldn’t stop giggling when Pats first shared Justin Roberts’ Touts of this with me! Finding it on WWE.com has just blown my mind!
Torn between giggling at the hat and going to mush at the fuzzy forearm hairs – yeah, I know, I’m weird!
“One hat becomes two, as Kane rounds out his color scheme with a ushanka.”
What they don’t mention here is that the dashing red ushanka is from John Cena – us Taureans like to stick together, yanno? (Although the two of them are seriously letting the side down when it comes to getting birthday tattoos!)
“Bryan has yet another surprise gift for his friend and tag partner: a banana.”
Say what now? And where perchance was this banana being hidden prior to the impromptu gift-giving?
-giggling- The look on Kane’s face!
Okay, so you’ve got your eyes closed. Your hand stretched out – the hand that wears a glove, mind you. And someone in a very ‘bloke-y’, male-dominated industry places something in your gloved hand … that you can close your fingers around like … that.
Can totally understand why that smile may be faltering a tad – cos after all, you’re in front of a live audience when this potentially embarrassing prank is going down!
And there’s that moment – where you are afraid to open your eyes in case you’re holding something flesh-coloured that takes batteries! -snickering!-
“Kane appears unsure what to make of the situation.”
-cackling- I think he’s just relieved he’s not holding a battery-operated-boyfriend in one hand, frankly!
But, a banana? Maybe he’s lacking one of these handy gadgets!!
Oh hey! Only just noticed but Kane’s wearing his old costume – no super new shoulderporn-enhanced singlet on tour!
“A picture says a thousand words.”
“The fuck am I supposed to do with a banana?”
-giggling-
And we’re back to closing his eyes … this picture is all kinds of adorkable!! Two hats, clutching a banana, hand over the eyes, fuzzy forearm hair … stop, you’re killing me!
“Yet another birthday surprise for The Devil’s Favorite Demon coming up?”
Looks like the wardrobe girls nipped the seams of those tights in too – happy birthday to me!!
😉
“Time for Kane to get a birthday hug not only from Daniel Bryan, but also John Cena!”
-mad giggling fit!-
“Closer … ”
God, the grins on their faces!!
” … Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Dead. Of. Laff!
But you know what else? And this is totally the best part!
Not only did they put the pictures on WWE.com, but they’ve got the video too!
I suspect it’s a fan video, but totally worth it for the crowd singing “Happy birthday”!
