A question for the Attitude Era guys.
Kane's original run was booked to perfection, initially. In terms of another big man with reputation of the Undertaker, did WWF/WWE drop the ball with Kane?
When we look at back on Kane now we see an incredible worker, especially given his current age, however, could Kane have been so much more?
Instead of an Undertaker-esque legacy, Kane's seems to be one of being booked poorly and under-utilized.

Thing is, the only way to take Kane to the next level would be for him to be a champion, but they werent going to make him champion over Austin and rock. And then later HHH hence HHH beating him. The stories involved with Kane were just some of the stupidest though imo and Kane did well to still come through all of that and still be with the company in a good position.
Good point about Cena @Hoof The Ball
If I had a Kid and he was watching WWE, id rather he be a fan of cena than most guys.

My 15 month old daughter won't let me watch all of that without trying to nick my phone. Can somebody please briefly explain what happens?
On the other hand the entire build up has screamed Triple H win.
Kane has done phenomenally well to last as he has, tbh.
The problem with looking back and saying "he was booked perfectly to start with then..." is that it completely ignores numerous factors, most notably that monster heels have a shelf life. They go unbeaten, then they lose and... what next? In the territories days he'd have moved to the next territory, and had the exact same run destroying all of the babyfaces, until someone beats them, and you repeat.
Undertaker is a one off, since he managed to last, but even then there were times when it was like 'who the hell cares?' (personally I'd say that about most of the Undertakers career, but I know that I'm in the vast minority there, once his entrance is done I'm not interested), need I bring up "Booger Red"?
Undertaker is also a massive hindrance to Kane, how are the two supposed to be on the same roster? They're both exactly the same in terms of portrayal as "monsters", so naturally the two need to have a monsters face off, whichever one loses will naturally lose interest.
Same could easily be said of Big Show, who's way below Kane on the level of how they're looked back on, who's similarly really good (he's not what he was but he is over 40 and stupidly large.
On which, shout out to that time Kane and Show put on a chain wrestling masterclass:
Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere but.....
American Bad Ass ?!
Potentially big spoiler so don't click it if you don't wanna know. Don't shout at me if you click it and don't like it.

Context ffs. I'm not arsed, but still.
Eh?
Its more of an observation on spoilers in here and the forum. People spoiler things and give no context for the spoiler. Couldn't care less if that was a TNA spoiler for example. Wasn't giving out.
For months and months now I have been wondering whether Undertaker would come out with the American Bad Ass gimmick one more time to counter the darkness of Bray's character.
You know I had a thought the other day when I saw a picture of him arriving in San Fran that...
His beard looked very ABA Undertaker. You never know, not sure how it would go down. Suppose a storyline could go along the lines of Lesnar proving he was just a man or something...
Oh I get what you mean. Sorry pal, my bad.
I thought that too.. Only hung is that if they're setting up for Taker/Sting next year then surely it's gotta be deadman taker ?!
Add to that...
All promotional pictures around the stadium (plus recent pics of him) show him with a ABA kind of haircut. Maybe we get a bit of a hybrid? It would also play into the fact that it will be sunlight all through Mania, so his deadman entrance will be ineffective.

Good call.
They're concerned for his physical state so they put him in a ladder match.
Sounds believable.

Waiting for alternate.
"HHH puts DB in Ladder Match to permanently ruin his career."
Anyone watching the HOF? Well impressed with Maria Manounes (sp) reciting the entire Dusty Rhodes hard times promo from memory. Proper fan.

Not watching it, but I love Maria Menounos. That's all.
feck, i totally forgot about the hall of fame!
Mark Henry's son should be teaching promo classes, kid has it.
It's cool, red carpet for another half hour...lita still has it
Just said that to the Mrs, really well spoken.
i don't think i'll be able to concentrate fully at work, i will have it on in the background. hmmm LitaIt's cool, red carpet for another half hour...lita still has it
Damn
Is Ron getting inducted? He deserves it
That Sting vs Triple H mini promo was feckin awesome. Why have they not shown that before?
Last year he went in...or maybe the year before.
First African-American world champion.
They must be running out of inductees at this stage
Is there any glaring omissions?
Alundra Blaze is only famous for one moment and that is it

Taker will headline next year, Rock the year after.
I always hated rikishi and his God damn stinkface
Reigns got booed when mentioned by Rikishi...tomorrow is gonna be tasty.
Holy shit that reception for Reigns
They need to turn him heel quick. They could actually make something good of him then

I just came in to post that!
Do you see my post offering you a way to watch mania?
The Rock.
Owen Hart.
Vinnie Mac now that he's not an onscreen character?
I imagine Sting will have a farewell match next year and then get inducted
I did but I've still not cancelled. I will first thing Monday morning and forget about wwe for another year or two
The actual current product for me is very bad. I am going to watch it tomorrow night. But it's a really awful card although I am excited about seeing Sting
It's all about nostalgia for me now. Like when I saw Gangrel a few mins ago, that was awesome
Great speech from Rikishi. Decent dancing too 
Vadar is awesome still wearing his mask to HOF ceremonies.
The 'E messed up big times with Reigns. They've already turned him into the next Cena, but he's about 5x less popular and 10x less talented. They should have milked Bryan's momentum for at least another year and let it burn slowly for Reigns. Have him win the Rumble in 2016 or even 2017 before winning the title at the following Mania. Would have kept the fans on his sides, built up his popularity to a maximum amongst kids and females and he'd be more ready. While in the meantime, Bryan is still loved by all and selling loads of shirts with 'Yes' on them, keeping the seat warm until Reigns is ready.
Even with Lesnar having renewed, I still think Reigns goes over at Mania and leaves as champ (as long as Vince has his way, which I suspect he will).
