Kane - Big Red Machine tribute

[the ambush]

Where do you rank Kane aka Big Red Machine in terms of other Heavyweight & Big Men all-time?

Is he one of the best ever? / Or is he in the top 10? / Or is he somewhere along the line of King Kong Bundy and Papa Shango? / No opinion and indifferent

 

[Pittie Petey]

King Kong Bundy is one of the best ever

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Kane is in my top 5 big men

He should have been used better but that's Vince

 

[Canned Tuna]

He was one of my favorites as a kid because he was cool AF. No clue how he stacks up in terms of wrestling skills.

 

[Thad Castle v2]

He should have never took off the mask and should have stayed heel

 

[Deleted member 449757]

Kane was awesome. My favorite shoot-style dentist.

 

[lakersfan45]

He is a great big man but I’ve always felt his overall career lacked really great matches (for the amount of matches he has had). They are always decent, which is rare for a big guy.., but he lacks the classic matches.

 

[D.R.H.]

He should have never took off the mask and should have stayed heel

I could deal with the face turn, but the mask should definitely have stayed.

 

[The Clinch]

Underrated big man that could move.

Could have been treated a little better by the E as he was involved with some shit ass storylines. Kane was champ for what, 1 day?

Dude can probably still outperform at least half the roster today.

Does Kane even have a good match that doesn’t involve Taker?

stone cold, dbry, trips chain match, xpac

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Like others said, Glen Jacobs is a top 5 big man. The first mask is one of the best wrestling masks ever. A one day reign as champ is a damn crime.

He’s had a lot of really good tag matches with pac and Bryan … not sure that is what @moonwolf mean by listing them, as the one on one matches weren’t that good with either IMO. Also funny that moom
Mentions austin… I agree and would even argued that austin had much better chemistry with kane than taker.

i meant the tag matches, but also liked dbry vs kane extreme rules 2014. angle had some great matches with him too.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Top 5 big guy. He should've gotten a better title run. I always thought he should've gotten Big Shows 99 title run

 

[Clark Rogers]

I'd say he's top 5.

his debut was great, sometimes he didn't get the matches he deserved but he was a presence.

all I've ever heard from other wrestlers is how safe and easy he was to work with. He has a reputation for being highly skilled in places the other performers think matter.

some of the records this talks about are cool, too.

[Small Town Andrew]

Not a very good worker but his character was really cool when he came out

 

[Gio]

Should have never taken off the mask only to bring it back again. But he's way up there. I'll always remember the tag team run with Xpac, and his royal rumble eliminations.
