When Kane went crazy, he must have been referring to...

Tuesday, JULY 8 - 9:21 A.M.

Someone check the dosage on Kane's medication. Clearly, The Big Red Monster was bothered by something on Monday night. He took it out on crew members. He wanted to take it out on Lillian Garcia. He tried to take it out on Michael Cole. He even choked out Jerry Lawler.

"Is he alive or dead?" Kane asked repeatedly. I thought I heard him mention Vince McMahon's name once, but I could be wrong. Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Levesque have implied that the old man is alive if not well, so I'm not sure whether that makes sense unless Kane is purely delusional at this point.

Maybe he was referring to his brother. Undertaker has been banned from WWE, but the Dead Man has been dead for years. This question should have bothered Kane long before now, so I can't imagine he's pitching a fit over that.

I suppose it could be Paul Bearer since the last time we saw him on WWE television he was supposedly killed off. The idea that the Fat Man has been in hiding all these years is really hard to believe since he kind of sticks out in a crowd (insert your own Osama bin Laden joke here).

After careful deliberation, I have concluded that Kane could only be referring to one person when he asked whether "he" is alive or dead...

Tony Soprano.

We're two days shy of the 13-month anniversary of the screen fading to black on the popular HBO series "The Sopranos." I must admit that the end of the series drove me a little bonkers.

Don't string me along for six seasons and all those long hiatuses, deliver a copout ending that leaves things open for a possible big screen followup (yes, I know David Chase has denied it), and then act like I'm an idiot for not liking the finale. I don't want artistic bullshit. I'm a simpleton. Just give me closure. Wrap it up in a neat little bow and give me definitive ending. Is that too much to ask?

Yes, I still have some pent up frustration from the finale even though it's been nearly 13 months since I said goodbye to my favorite television mobsters. I've been able to move on for the most part. Clearly, Kane has not. I guess the only question now is whether he's been stewing over this for 13 months or if he just finished watching the series on DVD.

If it's the latter, then I know many fans of "The Sopranos" can relate. I wanted to kick someone in the face, scare a woman, and toss around strangers when I finished watching the finale. Hell, I think I may have even dreamed about kicking Michael Cole's ass, but I have that impulse more frequently than I should admit publicly.

The point is that there are people who feel your pain, Kane. Many have found the strength to go on with their lives. Others still go off on online tangents whenever something completely unrelated causes them to have a mental flashback to the finale.

I'd like to say it gets better, Kane. However, if you just finished watching the finale on DVD, then you still have to go through the most painful part of it all—receiving countless emails from people on both sides of the "alive or dead" debate who claim that the answer is painfully obvious to them and that anyone who disagrees is an idiot.
