Putting Kane in the match cost them a PPV buy from me. Now both big angles have big guys who can't go in the ring anymore. Ugh.

Seeing as it wasn't mentioned, did AJ just materialize in the ring? She must have borrowed some of Undertaker's powers. So AJ is... President Ramu!?!

Oh, awesome.
So Bryan's getting rewarded with a title match because he overachieved in his world title reign, helped to carry Smackdown for months, managed to turn getting squashed in the Mania opener into a way to get even more over to the point where in some cities the reaction is pretty incredible, and tearing the house down with Punk in their match at the last ppv.
And Kane of course gets one because... he's... tall.

Now that it's official, I have to say a Punk/Bryan/Kane triple threat sounds extremely odd and counterintuitive. The sort of people who want to see Punk and Bryan wrestle a technical classic are going to hate having a broken down, middle-aged big guy added to the mix, and the people who want crazy Kane action are going to, at best, grudgingly accept that there's a bland vanilla midget stuck in the angle.

It makes perfect sense to put Kane in the match considering what they did a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown. Plus, it gives them a more mainstream name to put in the title match. Yeah I know you all wanted Punk/Bryan again, but they've wrestled each other like 5 times in the last 6 months, how many more times can we see it before it becomes old? You'll probably get Punk/Bryan at MITB anyway with this being a buffer between the singles matches.
Also, Punk/Kane was apparently very good from what I hear on Twitter so...there.

Let's put it this way... just ride out the storm. Money In The Bank is on the other side, and that has delivered both years it has been on.

I think Kane is in there just to save Punk from a "direct" loss to Bryan.

People tend to not get tired of great matches and out of the 5 matches they've had, maybe 1 had a real finish and I know it's a shocker to a lot on this board but Kane isn't popular anymore. He hasn't been for years and no one buys into him anymore.

WWE probably has a better idea than we do about who draws and who doesn't and if Kane wasn't doing something right, he'd probably be lower down like how Tensai's not showing up all the time anymore. I mean everyone here hates Triple H it seems but he's still probably the number 3 most popular guy in the WWE besides Cena and Rock.

He gets next to no reaction when he comes out these days. Also, why are you bringing up HHH? I don't think anyone denies that he's a major draw for the WWE. This isn't about HHH, this is about Kane who nobody cares about these days.

Kane is popular here for some reason but he's not elsewhere. He hasn't been popular for years, only reason he gets major pushes is because he's a company guy that will put over everyone. He is only in this match to take the pin and keep it going because they don't want either Punk or Bryan to lose and force them to try and actually write something creative to extend the feud.

For the fans, we may hate the fact that Kane is inserted into a great Punk vs Bryan program............but I dont think the wrestlers backstage ever mind working with Glen Jacobs in anything.

Now that it's official, I have to say a Punk/Bryan/Kane triple threat sounds extremely odd and counterintuitive. The sort of people who want to see Punk and Bryan wrestle a technical classic are going to hate having a broken down, middle-aged big guy added to the mix, and the people who want crazy Kane action are going to, at best, grudgingly accept that there's a bland vanilla midget stuck in the angle. And then there's me who doesn't want to see Punk at all.

What if you like both. I like good wrestling matches and non-sensical Kane action.
