Kane Vs. Undertaker WM 14

I think the booking was sound.......kane cost him the title at Badd Blodd and RR......plus he burned him in the coffin.

IMO it was time for UT to get one back........he was on a hell of a PPV losing streak.

Interestingly Vince had to be pleaded with by JR,Cornette and Prichard to NOT blow this match at DX:IYH.Russo had wanted them to fight straight away but JR & Cornette said "WHOA" it should be dragged out until WM at LEAST before they fight.

I remember reading a LONG time ago that the Kane character was only meant to be short term and was originally slated to be gone after the inferno match. I don't know if there is any truth to that as the Kane character caught on and got good reactions from the crowd.

Anyway, their WM 14 match is good. I was surprised with the booking too as Undertaker seemed to go over Kane more times than not period throughout their careers.

The feud and buildup was great.
The entrances were cool but the match was meh. Got real slow and boring for middle portion of the match.

Kane is a character the wwe has build up as a monster at times only to make him a glorifed jobber for a few months. Don't feel he was ever position to be a major threat.

This was their best match imo

This. 1997/8 was the only time I saw him as a legit top threat for the title and a monster. After he lost to Taker at WM14, he never got back to the level he did of unstoppable monster. Hell, he was feuding w/ a mid-card HHH by WM15. I think what truly killed him was when he returned in 2002 w/ the stupid half mask. He was more "human" than ever and the massive weight loss made him look normal. He was also doing stupid stuff like a Kanerooni with Booker T and the whole Katie Vick storyline was designed to kill any backstory he had. It was like they were purposely trying to kill him off. Once he lost the mask, that was the final nail in the coffin for him IMO. I've never liked the unmasked Kane.

He was having a really strong run in 2001 (see Royal Rumble that year) and was a big part of the Two Man Power Trip angle along with Taker- even taking the IC title from Triple H.
I think he has suffered a bit from what I call "Big Show Syndrome"- hes been turned heel to face back to heel so much that people lose interest. Just look at his most recent run. He was brought back as an unstoppable monster heel and then went into "anger management" in about a 6 month span.

Kane is aliiive undertaker , Kane is coming!!

Wow what a rivalry is ll I can say, even non wrestling fans were interested everyone knew about te undertakers brother Kane and for years after people used to say oh yes, Kane is the undertakers real brother.

The story with the undertaker not fighting his brother was a very good idea, I remember bing so scared when Kane kicked him senseless on superstars!!

The match was awesome, much better tan their flop wm 20 match!!

I recently rewatched this match on the Undertaker 'Streak' DVD and still loved it, 15 years on.

The build was fantastic, the atmosphere of the match itself was great, and the fact that no one at that time had kicked out of the Tombstone cemented to me then and now that Kane was amazing as a monster heel that didn't lose anything by doing the job to the Undertaker at WM.
