"I'm bored. I think I'll have an eight on one handicap match."
Best segment WWE's done with Kane in years?
I hope this becomes an actual angle. It certainly captured my attention more than anything else on this week's Smackdown.

It better become an angle because it will establish Kane as a monster better than any angle since late1997-early1999.

I think it was just an attempt to get interest in NXT and boost it's ratings.

It might help NXT, but they looked like chumps needing to team up to beat him down and presumably be DQ'd. I like that Smackdown, in two hours, elevated almost a full roster of talent. Dolph KO'd Khali. Shad is a legit big man and JTG has sympathy, while both have the ability to drop over-the-top character-limiting racial caricatures. Truth and Morrison got a quick win to minimize the damage of the loss at Mania. Gallows and Serena speak before Punk, thus giving them some meaning beyond lackeys. Kane is an angry monster. Swagger is a world champ. They teased a future push for Shelton, or at least a Shelton/Swagger feud (which has the potential to be absolutely amazing in terms of ring work, combining Shelton's athleticism with Swagger's size). Jericho and Edge continue to grow in their roles. It's all good right now. And maybe they need Kane to be a short-term challenger on top. And they keep working on McIntyre by going back to what they did when he came in to the WWE and not having matches.

It was pretty damn cool. I loved seeing the guys actually take initiative and not just get wiped out by Kane. It could make things interesting in the next few weeks, especially if Kane decides to take them to the learning tree on their own show.

I didn't see the show, but hearing about it it really sounds both entirely pointless and like a good way to get the audience to hate all eight guys.

From our perspective, it was a good way to not make them look like weak wussies that didn't know what they were doing. Kinda interesting that Otunga was the one who got them organized to go in and hit Kane together instead of getting killed separately. |

They're really pushing Otunga huh?
I'm not a fan of Kane's ring ability at this point in his career but I am a fan of him as a person so I don't want to see him continue to blend into the background.

Didn't like it. I thought it was confusing for the viewers as Kane is supposed to be the heel and it was the other way around at the end.

Next week: "I'm bored. Send me a few tag teams."
Following week: "I'm bored. Send out the cruiserweights."
Following week: "I'm bored. Send out anybody taller than 6'3"."

I thought it was horrible, and being that some of the NXT rookies are faces, it ruined any chance of the crowd rallying behind them.
