Undertaker vs. Kane in 2010

[Starshine]

Which of the above best describes your opinion on the current Taker/Kane feud?

[xxx4lyfe]

I love it. And the matches.

Back in the first feud, they didn't have so-called great matches. How would this be any different? At least back than, they didn't have the slowed down style of the new WWE.

It's two large men, fighting each other. You really can't expect such phenomenal matches, if that is what people are lookin' for.

Their HIAC match was great in my own opinion, excluding the ending I'd say.

Love the angle, love the matches. Though I wouldn't say love, but good to really good sure. I also like the storyline because it's like watching a movie instead of a normal wrestling storyline.

I hate everything about it. The matches suck, and Undertaker should retire. Kane shold be feuding with a rising star babyface that would benefit from a title feud, even if he didn't necessarily win the belt.

In fact, I find the whole angle so boring and stupid, that while I was lucky enough to get to see Hell In A Cell for free, I didn't even watch the main event.

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

It frustrates me because so far, their first match was their best, and I'm worried about diminishing returns.

[The Ichi]

It's probably my favourite of their feuds yet, but that has more to do with the fact that Kane isn't being made to be Taker's bitch for once.

[Bake Or Die]

Love the angle but haven't seen the matches.

[Massive G]

hate it both ways. Besides the fact that having Kane revealed as Undertaker's attacker was insanely stupid in the first place, Kane is the world's slowest wrestler. His mic work has been fine, but I don't get why he is the Champ. At all.

Love the angle and while I don't love the matches, I like them. They've told a good story and are pretty much what I'd expect from two fairly athletic big men facing each other.

[bronson]

I like Kane getting his big main-event push... But it honestly seems like "too little, too late."
That, coupled with Taker being booked as a sickly old man, don't really leave the feud with too much electricity. This feud should have taken place eight years ago.

[edgedge]

I'm sick of all that is Undertaker, but even I love this feud. Kane stealing Taker's powers or whatever really added a whole new dynamic and made for some interesting TV. And Paul Bearer returning of course was awesome as well.

The matches have been good as well. I thought their No DQ Match was better than their Hell in a Cell, though.

Love the angle & all

[Bub (BLM)]

I love that Kane is getting a push. I hate Undertaker as a character and as a person. My hope for this angle is that Kane comes out on top, and Undertaker finally retires his broken-down old carcass.

[Error]

Boring. Don't care, either way.

[rnrk supports BLM]

This is the stuff I watch pro wrestling for.

And yes, they're both clearly getting older and the in-ring action isn't on the level it used to be, but they're still good enough to make it work.

That's too much of a coincidence.

What are the odds of the two slowest wrestlers in the world landing in the same feud?

And ow could Kane be the world's slowest wrestler? That would make Undertaker not a wrestler, since he's far slower than Kane.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I like it...but BOY I wish it wasn't for the title, there is NO momentum whatsoever right now on Smackdown, when they have over guys like Kofi to at least work with.

[Indifference Abounds]

I have to say, this feud has certainly turned an author's saving throw into something pretty damn good. I doubt many people thought that "Who put Taker in a vegetative state?" would actually lead to an enjoyable feud between the Brothers of Destruction.

Personally, I haven't really enjoyed the matches. One of the main problems this feud has faced, in my mind, is that both of the matches on PPV have been shown up by other, bigger moments on the same show. Their brawl at Night of Champions doesn't stand up next to Bryan/Miz and Barrett/Cena stole the show at Hell in Cell. Essentially the matches have been nothing special but appeared on cards where other matches have been very special.

It doesn't help that I'm one of those who Cornette face'd at the Hell in a Cell match's ending. As odd as it sounds, in a feud between two demonic brothers over unspecified "powers", that was something that I just couldn't take seriously.
