Can we agree that the slow burn demotion of Kane is a top 5 wrestling mistake?

You take a 7 footer who can do lucha libre shyt, had a goat monster gimmick and had him jobbing to x factor and doing comedy. I know its a dead horse but shyt baffles me everytime. shyt is Ric Flair between 96-99 levels of disrespect.

I used to be like wtf @ how he went from burned to just delusional

But I guess it was kinda believable becuz Paul bearer tried to get him locked in the nut house and Vince and them too

:mjlol: @ the rock naming him the big red retard


They should a just said Paul bearer brainwashed him and he was schizo or some shyt

I've said this before. At his athletic prime, Kane > 5 move Taker. When they figured out they could use him as tag team fodder to elevate random mid-carders that character died. He had a short comeback with Edge but they dragged on the Lita stuff too long until it turned into unintentional comedy. The fake Kane stuff could have slow burned too but they just randomly ended it. Then they did the embrace the hate angle but Cena went over him clean and it was over.

So many opportunities wasted with him. At least he can say he beat Austin in his prime in that first blood match for the title :manny:

Kane is better as a Brutus to a Popeye, hes not a leading man, but in his prime he was a hell of a villian.

Honestly the goofy shyt is why hes had such a long career, his versatility while still remaining Kane is why he has been able to transcend what should have been a 8 month run and blow off of a gimmick.

Yea I would say the fact that he began as an undertaker spinoff and somehow managed to reinvent himself and evolve so many times over the years and always keep himself fresh is a testament to how good he was.

True story

I'm still dumbfounded

Those of y'all who was watching in the late 90s know Kane was more dominant than undertaker at one point

Undertaker was shook when Kane debuted

Kane was one of the most dominant in all of wrestling and they got him jobbing that shyt is fukkin crazy
