Anyway, some of those guys really don't need to be shown. I mean Vader? He wrestled quite a bit unmasked and even still his mask most of the time was pretty much just a red strap. It's kind of easy to see his face. Also, people who wear face paint shouldn't count since you can easily tell what they look like without it on.
Abyss doesn't look nearly as tough as I thought he would being that size and all. Well, he has good taste anyway for being a Kane/Mankind rip off.

He gave the gimmick to Dale Torborg

To see Ray all you have to do is go back to some of the old WCW shows and you will see him clearly. So his identity hasn't really been secret at all the mask was WWE`s doing.

how exactly is he a mankind/kane ripoff??
he doesnt even have the same gimmick or the same moveset...he wears a mask, wow...
really abyss is nothing like kane or mankind and imo is a better in ring worker than both..
kane has always been slow and steady with power moves and mankind was a brawler/extreme spot wrestler..
i really dont see how people can say abyss is a cheap ripoff

and also if people didnt want to see their identities then they wouldnt look in the thread as it is titled 'Masked Wrestlers Unmasked' which kinda gives you a clue as to what it is about

Oh my god. Are you effing kidding me?!
ANyone with two working eyes and half a brain can see that he is the world's most blatant Kane/Mankind ripoff.
Wow. Either you're being extremely naive, or just in denial that he's clearly ripped both gimmicks off at the same time.
I don't even need to back this up with any proof. If you look at him for more than 2 seconds, it's immediately apparent to anyone. It's every bit as clear as this new Judas or whatever his name is, TNA guy is an Undertaker rip off.

2. Listen to his song & Kane's there is a resemblance
3. Look at him
4. He couldn't talk before & now he can cause of a friend like Kane
He is a blatant ripoff.

And what are you guys flapping your gums about? Abyss aint a goddamn'd rip off. With his mask on he looks nothing like Kane or Mankind, his music sounds nothing like Kanes, yah sure Kane was the only wrestler that couldn't talk, "look at him" nice cop out there mate, and so what...he carries thumbtacks - it's a neat little gimmick - like Mankind's the only wrestler in history to carry thumbtacks.
If you want a cheap Kane rip off watch IWA Puerto Rico (think that's how it's spelt) they got two of 'em - think one of 'em is called Lightening and the other's Thunder. But they're exact copies from the masks right down to the boots.
Abyss rocks...PERIOD!
Real American ICON! the only reason people say Abyss is a cheap rip-off is because they don't want to face the fact that another brand has a better wrestler than Kane and Mankind.

Also, like him all you want, and he's not bad, but don't ever try and compare him to Kane. Kane is way better from everything that I've saw of both of them. Hey, I'm Kane fan I can actually admit that he was originally just an Undertaker knock off, but at least his storyline called for it being that he is Undertaker's "brother". Abyss is not better than Kane, period. I'm sorry, but I can't allow someone to state that as if it's true.
