Friday the 13th movies will return to screens eventually, and when they do, legendary WWE wrestler Kane needs to put on the hockey mask. Easily one of the most beloved sub-genres of horror is the slasher flick, which famously dominated the 1980s to the point of arguable oversaturation. Each year saw dozens, if not hundreds of slashers released, especially once the home video market really started to light up. Sitting atop the slasher mountain though were three terrifying men/monsters, A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, Halloween's Michael Myers, and Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees.

As iconic as Jason became though, the fact that he didn't talk and wore a mask meant that Paramount - and later New Line Cinema - didn't feel compelled to reuse the same actor in the role. While Robert Englund became so essential to Freddy that even after a remake happened most fans still can't imagine the character without him, Jason played host to a revolving door of performers over the course of twelve films.

In fact, the only actor to play Jason more than once so far is Kane Hodder, who took over the role for Friday the 13th Part 7, then stayed for Part 8, Jason Goes to Hell, and Jason X. As great and popular as Hodder was though, it's been nearly 20 years since he played the role, and it's time to move on. Which brings things to another man named Kane, at least within the world of professional wrestling.

While it's true that Kane, real name Glenn Jacobs, doesn't have that much of an acting resume, his 20-plus year career in WWE was in many ways one long rehearsal for playing a slasher villain like Friday the 13th's Jason. Since he doesn't speak and his face is usually covered, most of the Jason character is conveyed physically. Jacobs' time as Kane, who while not mute, was often a man of few words, and spent years hiding behind a mask, made him an expert at physical storytelling. That's a skill any great professional wrestler needs to master, but not everyone manages to nearly as well as Jacobs.

Part of what made Kane Hodder so beloved was his imposing physicality as Jason, and WWE's Kane could increase that tenfold, boasting an immense physical stature only really rivaled in the franchise by Derek Mears' Jason in the 2009 remake. Even then, Jacobs is considerably taller and bulkier than even Mears, and while his current dalliance into the world of politics might've led him to drop some muscle, a guy as committed to fitness as Jacobs could turn that around pretty quickly. Jacobs even has experience playing a slasher already, the brutal Jacob Goodnight in See No Evil. The only real obstacle to Kane playing Jason, assuming he'd accept the offer, could be age. At 53, Jacobs is 12 years younger than Hodder, but considering that he's currently occupied being a mayor, it's unclear when he'll next be available, even if the casting would be a stroke of genius.
