| Kane when booked right looks like credible main event talent and can work as such. Circa early 2001 through to around Judgment Day, Kane was carrying the main event scene with Undertaker, HHH and SCSA after Rock had left to start shooting movies. He had solid matches with the likes of HHH (the Judgment Day IC Championship Chain Match was brilliant IMHO). The thing with Kane is that you can put him in the ring with HHH and he doesn't look out of place right now, as badly as he has been built. After the unmasking I loved what they were doing with Kane and to be honest it was near enough my only reason for watching Raw. It was over the top, it wasn't realistic, but hell it was entertaining. I think Kane has just been unlucky in that WWE never wants to put him over current main event talent.
He sits in his niche as a main-event/upper midcarder because there simply isnt room for a roster full of main eventers and hes able to serve as a mechanism to get someone over. He deserves the title for perseverance alone! |
