So where do we rank KANE all time?

[Tryna Makit]

Longevity always counts big time for me. So he's top 25 in the E for sure. Stayed entertaining even when handed bullshyt Ala Booker T. Stayed Kane even when deadman switched it up. No greater tag team partner exists, hell I even won the strap with him in the SVR games. Legendary rumble performances. to much HHH jobbing tho. Has he ever beaten dat nikka lol. I remember when Orton called him on that shyt LOL.

 

[Nintendough]

Kane's monster heel run when he got the title was classic. He is consistant and a very good worker for his size. HOF'er and a top 30 all time performer.

 

[Hoss]

Underrated in a lot of ways. I think he's kind of taken for granted because he's been so reliably good for so long.

I agree with a lot of others here in that he's never been among my favorites, and yet I can't really place too many guys above him in terms of his ability to stay over for such a long period of time. He's done a good job in a lot of very different kinds of situations. This leads me to believe he's smarter than most.

And when his role calls for a lot of talking, he actually cuts a hell of a promo.

Guaranteed HOFer. He's so loyal and reliable that Vince must love the guy.

I'd probably place him in the top 20, maybe even top 15.

Kane is pretty much the total package and personal opinion or not he belongs in everyone's top 20 at the very least. How can anyone argue that?

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I can't rank him high because of his character, but that's not really his fault. He's stayed over, which I guess shows his versatility. I'd put him somewhere in the top 50, but he's definitely top 5 in big men workers of all-time though.

Dude is the wrestling version of Bernard Hopkins imo gets taken for granted because it seems like he has always been around, I think he will get the recognition he deserves when he retires. It's impossible to hate on dude though he is never , pretty damn good for a big guy in the ring doing top rope moves and shyt and always consistent.

He also might be the of fukkery, Isaac Yankeem, Katie Vick, Lita's wedding, tombstoning priests, Pete Rose, Linda McMahon, tossing Ryder in the bushes, that "Embrace the Hate" fukkery

probably in my personal top 20-15.

i started watching wrestling as a kid sometime during 97-98, so Kane probably just debuted then ... had me like

This run with solidified a first ballot HOF bid. The GOAT spin-off character ever Glen Jacobs Da GAWD!

When you think about it they both have that similar making the best out of what they are given skill.

 

[Swiggy]

Ignoring the insane ability and durability he has for his size, being relevant with different character types during his entire run is monumental. He started off as an unstoppable monster, went into cruise control as one of the guys and still had beastly moments, did comedy bits, reverted back to monster without the mask, went back to being one of the boys, back to monster again with the World Title, then returned later with two new masks and hair.



Glen Jacobs has to be one of the most loved nikkas in the locker room. No way you stay on that long and not have a sense of entitlement. Humble and always does what's right for the biz.

 

[CJ]

Lot of respect for dude. Quite incredible how he can flip flop weekly between face/heel and still be over regardless. Can do the serious role, or the goofy shyt and either one is believable. I prefer his persona/promo work more than anything, though I can definitely say his mobility for his size and able to never seem out of shape in these 16+ years is something amazing.

If there was a glue guy award for the E, I'd probably label him as that. Because he wasn't a top draw, seems to be a reason he is underrated so much - but his longevity/consistency for this long should gain him more respect than he has. Guess that time will come when he's officially retired.

 

[Clem]

Top 50-75.
