Taker, but not by as much as you'd think. He's a far superior wrestler, and while not quite as good as Kane, is one of the most underrated talkers in the business. Kane has his strengths, though, most notably in that he's displayed substantially more versatility as a performer then Undertaker. There are a large number of Kane segments (comedy ones, mostly) that I don't think Undertaker would have pulled off half as well as Kane. Like that one with Rock and Hogan (you know what I'm talking about), I just don't know anyone who could pull that off as well as Kane.

Kane.
'Taker's better in most ways, but dammit- I just think Kane is cooler.

Kane. I've been such a huge Kane fan from his debut and have never stopped liking him since.
Undertaker was awesome in the early years when he'd get knocked down, and then he'd slowly get back up. And when Paul Bearer was his manager. But as soon as he came out with the American Badass gimmick, I've never been able to get into him since.
And on a side note, I own the Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane DVD which I've watched about a dozen times or so now. But I really hope that WWE puts out another 3-disc Kane set, maybe after he retires and goes into the HoF so they can include his last match and the HoF ceremony. Only this time his DVD should include a proper bio on disc 1.

If Kane wasn't so jobberific over the years and didn't flip back and forth so much, I might be more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, since I loved Kane up until about 2001. The removal of the mask was fun for a while, but once that played out, he dropped the singlet and I was forced to watch him wrestle with that nasty outie showing. And you'd think putting the mask back on might do something, but since there was no real build up to it or reason for it, it's been disappointing as well.

Taker of course, but one thing that will always stick in my mind is when Taker and Kane caught Vince giving them the finger......Taker beats down Vince and the crowd pops, but when Kane started laying the stomps on Vince the crowd went absolutely crazy.

I've always been more of a Kane fan. I think it more often than not is because of the years I spent wondering why this guy only had a 1 day title reign.
I marked more for Kane's world title win in 2010 than any of Taker's combined.

Definitely Undertaker. For great matches and memorable moments alone, it just isn't a contest IMO. Off the top of my head I couldn't give you too many great Kane matches, with Taker I could easily give you a whole list of his matches I love. The only time I haven't been too big on Taker was during his Ministry phase, which to me was a glorified comedy gimmick and for the most-part his matches sucked around that period. Still, he's a childhood favourite and dammit, I still get all tingly when that bell tolls and the lights go out. However: I marked more for Kane's world title win in 2010 than any of Taker's combined. Gotta admit I completely agree with this. That was a sublime moment.

Taker easily. Better wrestler, better talker, better character and, more evolved.

Both are great wrestlers that played their parts masterfully, but Undertaker is more iconic. Kane has shown in his own right that a great character can be spun-off though

I've always liked Kane, but it's the freaking Undertaker. Easily one of the greatest gimmicks of all time, one of the greatest big man workers of all time and an underrated talker.

The Undertaker.
I like Kane and all, but he gets real boring, real fast.

UN-DER-TA-KER *clap clap clap clap clap*
He's had a run on top that rivals that of Flair. Started with WWE in 1990, entered the main event scene in '91, and hasn't left since.

Kane times a thousand.
Anyone who complains about Cena being stale needs to look no further than Taker. That guy is the definition of it! His act is so tired and he needs to retire like six years ago.
