    Unpopular opinion - Kane was an even better character than Taker, just horrendously used. Those two together were dynamite and produced some of the best and entertaining moments throughout the Attitude Era, and they were partly why I stayed so invested during the back end of that era in 2001/2002.

      I feel ya man. I was 17 in '97, back when I heavily got back into wrestling. It was Taker through and through, until Kane stepped on the scene. I mean I freakin' grew my hair out and dyed it black (still have long hair to this day) 'cause of Taker...but Kane quickly became the favourite. From the mystique, the walk, the mannerisms, the mega powerhouse that Glenn was; for a few years he shined brighter than Undertaker ever did. And that's not any diss towards Taker, it's the supernatural phenomenon that Kane was just burned even brighter.

      Kane was extremely over when he debuted. I remember seeing non-wrestljng fans comment on him in various places and say how he was even more interesting and powerful than Taker... it probably helped that Taker was very banged up in that period so his matches were not his best, making Kane seem fresher and more exciting.
      In ring Kane is solid. He's not S-Tier or maybe A-Tier. He's B-Tier in that he's never bad, never, and his timing is great, but he never could innovate or wow like some of his peers (except his lovely top rope clothesline which unfortunately we saw too much of). But before anybody thinks that's disrespectful... who else ALWAYS has a solid match? Almost nobody. But Kane was always solid. Always.
      I agree though inasmuch that he stayed over far longer than his botched handling would account for and it was only towards the end of the 2010's that people really got tired of him once and for all.
      Kane was great. Nothing like him will be done again. Glen Jacobs deserves a Hall of Fame spot deservedly.

      @@Jesse-sk1xn "Always"?
      Hmm.
      Has Taker drawn more? Yes.
      Is he a better promo? Hmm. 50/50 as I think Kane is as good as Taker in general.
      Has Kane been written as well as Taker? Well Kane had Katie Vick and Taker spoke in Tongues so they've both had bad storylines.
      Work rate? Taker has one of the best matches ever... twice... with Shawn Michaels at Mania. I don't think Kane has ever had that calibre of a match but Kane has definitely delivered a more consistent performance throughout his whole career - Taker of the 00's-01's was pretty... not great. And Kane knew when to leave, whereas Taker sullied his legacy with matches such as Oldberg and the DX Saudi match (although... so did Kane).
      What about pop? Well Taker is in a league of his own as he isn't matchable based on protection and longevity alone. But Kane? I think you have to go back to 1998 for Kane. He was getting FAR louder pops in 1998-2000 than Taker. And yeah Taker was a heel but if you remember, Kane was a heel fighting face Taker then they more or less double turned. Even as Kane remained a heel with the Corporation, he was getting face cheers all of the time. Taker wasn't getting face cheers despite being a heel. He was just getting heel heat. And I suspect, although cannot prove, that Kane merch outsold Ministry Era Taker's for some years. Especially the masks.
      I don't think Kane has overall been better than Undertaker. No, sorry, it's not realistic to suggest he has. And it's not fair to say Glen Jacobs is a better wrestler than Taker as I think Taker is in a special category of his own. However... Kane IS a great wrestler and there was sincerely a three year period, before WWE booked him as a comedy act and the Katie Vick story, where I genuinely believe Kane was more over than Undertaker and was producing better matches in that period than Undertaker.
      There are numerous reasons why, I'm not going into them, but for a while, Kane WAS more over than Undertaker.
      Comparing the two overall? Undertaker is more over. Comparing the two from 1998-2001 perhaps? Kane was more over. But I don't believe even during that period that Kane was as over as Undertaker had been or would be.
      I don't know, does that sound fair?

Bret Hart and Austin, Taker vs Mankind, Diesel vs Taker, Diesel vs Shawn, Bret vs Shawn, Shawn vs Owen, Razor Ramon vs Shawn, Razor Ramon vs 1-2-3 kid and so on, I can't think of everything off the top of my head, but there were.

Hell, into the RA era he did the same for Orton and Edge. The guy was the man.

      Between all that and the dude just doesn't have the personality I could deal with in long spans (they're blatantly generic/vapid), it's such a bad combination. Mark/Taker has more charisma in their left pinky finger than this man has in their entire body. And that's not biasness towards Taker, it's just a matter-of-fact observation.

      Taker has always said that the Streak was made to be broken. If he retired, he didn't need it any more and it was a golden ticket to make someone.
      The issue was the person they chose to break it didn't need it and that it got taken away in a terrible match. And therefore it left a terrible taste in many people's mouthes.
      This is particularly galling now with recent possible allegations which I hope for Borck's sake are proven to be false. But if they're not, more evidence the Streak should not have gone to him.

    I cannot agree more about Mick Foley. The whole reason he did reckless stuff made sense FOR THE STORY. Foley did those things because the story he was telling was he was a fractured individual.
    Dude Love however in the main did NOT do those things because the story didn't suit it. He did a couple of crazy spots but in the main he dialled it down as Dude as the Dudester was the equivalent of an HBK or Freebirds flamboyant cowardly heel. Or what the character variant of 'Mick Foley' thought was such. Again, storytelling.

It's just gonna take 50x the amount of input like this for things to possibly change.

    Mankind Mick Foley's character reminds me Marvel's Penance

    • @JeremiahEcks777
      @JeremiahEcks777 2 місяці тому

      I get the connection but Penance was a very gratuitous childish grasp at being 'mature' and changed what was a very positive character negative for naught more than shock value. Additionally throwing the New Warriors under a bus simply because they're weren't one of Bendis' favourites (Luke Cage and Iron Fist are never mysteriously as inept and yet the Warriors had been competent and legit for years - except when Millar and Bendis got to them...).
      Anyway my point is, I get your comparison but the difference for me is that Mick is great character work... Penance is an example of one of the multitude reasons why comics are dead as an art form.

      Thanks sincerely for being patient with me.
      I agree, there is a lot in common between the two. I remember Foley making a promo about being hurt more and it feeling good. Robbie actually pretty much says "Good" to being told the armour hurts during Civil War. There's a lot of similarities.
      It also reminds me a bit of Hank Pym in that he has different identities but they pretty much amount to the same thing with a different flavour. Yellowjacket and Dude Love for example. 🤩

    a lot of the things you guys did back then that made sense are now being done just to do them. I remember when Andre and Hogan were only ones who could kick out of a finisher. Then Warrior came out and it sort of made sense for his character. Then you and Kane could do it. Now the popcorn guy is kicking out after taking 40 finishers.
