Kage

Kage is a CAW superstar hired to the Smackdown brand of New-WWE. Like several other New-WWE superstars, Kage is a SMF forum troll.

New-WWE E-Fed
Kage debuted halfway through the New-WWE e-fed's run as a grey recolor of Kane, which was what his original creator intended for him to look like. He was fairly dominant, winning the Royal Rumble match and main eventing several CPVs. Things took a turn for the worst when he was drafted to the iMPACT/Nitro brand, where Danny Jackpot forced a new gimmick upon him: an aging hobo jobber. Kage remained on iMPACT/Nitro till the end of the e-fed, and never won another match. His losses include a clean loss to a microphone.

New-WWE Raw
When the CAW adaptation of New-WWE began, Kage re-debuted under the name Erik Kage, and appeared as a ninja (another version of the Kage CAW as created by the actual SMF forum member Kage). He was fairly unsuccessful on Raw, and was only there for a few episodes before the ECW brand started up, and he was shipped there. During this period of time, he dropped Erik from his name, once again becoming just Kage.

New-WWE ECW
Kage's bad luck continued on ECW, where he failed to win match after match. After suffering a loss to arch-nemesis Dylan Connell, Kage revealed that he was tired of hiding behind a ninja mask and exhasperated with losing all the time; he then announced that he was ditching the ninja outfit and showing his "true self". And he did just that the Royal Rumble; he debuted his new look.....a blonde, flamboyant, almost homosexual looking young man. Strangely enough, his new look actually sparked a rebirth of Kage's career. He began picking up wins and was even named number one contender for the United States Championship (though he ended up losing his shot against champion Javori Smart at No Way Out).

New-WWE Smackdown
Kage was traded to Smackdown in a 12-man tri-branded trade. In one of his initial appearances on Smackdown, Kage made it clear that he was continuing his pursuit of the United States Championship....by assaulting Javori Smart with the aid of Chris Jericho and a steel chair. Later, it was confirmed that Kage would take part in a Fatal Four Way match at WrestleMania IV with the United States Championship on the line.
