Explain the love for Kane? You're a poet and you didn't even know it. Oh no, I know it, it was intentional. I even added "pray" to make the rhythm better. |

I've always marked for Glen jacobs. Horrid gimmick aside, I always had a soft spot for Isaac Yankem because Jacobs had some talent.
But as for Kane....
He's never really been a Main Eventer but consistently puts on good matches.
He has taken every s*** storyline thrown at him for the last 7 years or so and has just got on with it.
He's an agile big man capable of busting out moves (albeit not the best to look it) like dropkicks and huracanranas.

Here goes. First off, I think he is brilliant in the ring. The athleticism he displays for a man of his size is extraordinary. When he isn't paired with with guys like Henry and Khali he is pretty much a lock to put on a great match. Plus he can do a great drop kick and he's done a freakin' Hurricanrana. I also admire the way he conveyed emotion when he was under the mask through body language. Very subtle yet extremely effective. I also think he is very good on the mic and can get across a wide spectrum of emotions. His Eulogy for Undertaker after Survivor series 03 was outstanding. One of the most evil promos I have ever seen. Also he's been involved in some great comedy moments, like imitating Hogan and Rock, numerous skits with RVD, 'there's another door' skit with the big show, plus singing 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire' around the time he was feuding with MVP. Also his sadistic laugh is just incredible. My appreciation of Kane has carried over from when I was a kid. At that time I was gripped by his almost super hero look and character. As I got older I became more appreciative of just how good he is. Added to all that he seems to have no ego and wants to do what is best for the business. Kane= easily one of the best gimmicks of all time, and Glen Jacobs is one of the best big men of all time. All my opinion of course. This says it all Lock Thread |

Kane is a big guy. But he's a damn good wrestler too. I was upset about the unmasking at the time, but it didn't take me long to warm up to it. I like the un-masked Kane better than I liked him before. I think he gives a good interview, and has one of the most expressive faces I've ever seen a wrestler have. It's a shame they left that mug behind the mask as long as they did.

I think he's just saying that his backstage politics, good or bad, do not effect his opinion one way or another. He likes him because of his wrestling not because he's supposedly such a nice guy backstage.

The last time somebody brought up "Kane's backstage politics" their source was a FANFIC topic over on GameFAQs. So please, tell us all about those horrible backstage politics that Kane engages in. |

It's come to my attention that a lot of people on this board absolutely love Kane. I would appreciate it if one or more of them could take a shot at explaining exactly why they hold him in such high regard. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike him. I respect his long career of solid work with WWE, and he's been in some great angles in the past with Taker and whatnot. However, he is/was a monster archetype, which I have a very low tolerance for. And on top of that, they basically blew his entire gimmick when they took the mask off of him and had him talk...and that was years ago. Since then he's basically been a monster-jobber and has been involved in some truly terrible angles like Katie Vick to balance out his earlier fine programs. Even recently, this stuff with him stalking Edge over his shoulder is just bordering on goofy. Of course, he's not in charge of creative or booking, so it isn't his fault. But I don't quite understand why so many people want to see him have a heavyweight title reign so badly. Is it just because he's never had a proper one before and people think he deserves it? I'm really trying to understand here. I like him because he is a typical monster archetype ... plus he's a decent big man who has a large fan base. People want him to thave the title for a bit as they feel he probably was short changed with a day reign. |

Kane's alright. I haven't cared for him since his initial Big Red Machine run but you've got to respect the man's contributions to the business. He tows the company line.
