Kane has come a long way. I like the way he was able to come back from character suicide with some of the ideas WWE laid on him.Only great performers can get through dumb gimmicks.
Kane may go down as one of the most underrated Superstars in history. He has many of the titles and accolades

He's already got Worst Feud of the Year locked up for 2012 with Cena. I hate Kane. I wish he would go away for good.

[Danny Powers]

Nice to see some Kane fans, I know he's been booked in some awful angles but I've always respected him. Does anyone remember my epic Kane photo-bomb on the LAW Facebook page a few months ago?

I'm with you.Get rid of him and give us something new.Same goes for The Big Show and Khali.

Kane should have one role only. Put guys over to elevate them out of the mid card like Meng use to do in WCW.

[Patrick McFadden]

Kane is the bomb and the fact that he's been around for 15 years is a testament to Glenn Jacobs as a performer.

Putting this gimmick on anyone else and the Big Red Machine would have lasted a year or two at best but as we see here in 2012 he remains one of the few true veterans on the roster and year after year he's consistently entertaining.

Kane is the poster boy for Wrestlecrap, he's been saddled with the most ridiculous angles yet time after time comes out of it looking just as strong as ever. He's survived being sent to an institution by the Corporation, getting a voice box, he survived being betrayed by Tori (hell, he survived DATING Tori), fucking up Pete Rose THREE times, having coffee being spilled on him by Jericho, losing the IC title to Albert, teaming with RVD, UNMASKING, setting JR on fire and hitting Linda McMahon with the worst tombstone piledriver ever, feuding with Shane, impregnating Lita and stealing her from Matt Hardy, LOSING the baby because of Gene Snitsky, having Lita betray him for Edge, RE-Masking, feuding with John Cena and he's still going strong.

And of course underline this with being a HUGE threat to win the Royal Rumble (but not really) EVERY year because as soon as he enters business is about to pick up and he's JR or King's odd-on favorite to win this thing (not really having any chance of winning, of course).

Kane is old-school, super-gimmick WWF stuff that worked at the dawn of the Attitude Era and has stayed with us throughout the past decade and a half. And I'm looking forward to what the Big Red Machine will have for us in the years to come.

It's hard to like Kane for the angles he has been saddled with. You have to look beyond that. I remember before his injury (a biceps tear?. Kane looked unreal. He is still in good shape but not jacked like he was. He is a solid worker and I think he may be one of the best big men ever. He doesn't injure anyone and is known for getting a good match out of anyone. So said Jericho in his book. Anyhow, here is a link to him giving a hurricanrada to Albert:

I ask you: what big man would have ever been able to pull that off besides Kane. Not the Underseller, not Andre in his prime, not Sid, nobody. Look beyond the horrible angles if you can and see Kane for what he is: a talented worker who never got his due.

[RKing85]

Kane I think already has locked up Worst feud of the Year 2 times over!

Him vs Cena and him vs Randy Orton are both attrocious!

If I was running the WWE, Kane would be getting one of the post Wrestlemania pink slips. I know it's not going to happen. There is nothing Kane does these days that interests me.

That's why Kane is one of the best wrestlers! He does moves that you'd think were impossible for him.The best thing about Kane is that he doesn't let his size limit him as much as it should, he's 7 foot tall and he's still able to do things like that, he is one of the best true wrestlers in the WWE and will be missed so much when he's retired

I am a Kane fan
I will always have a place in my heart fro him, but his current feuds are dragging down Raw & Smackdown a treat but that's not his fault. I wouldn't say Kane is giving a bad performance for either of these feuds, in fact I think he's doing the best with what he's given. I 've been a fan of his since the begining and he was my fav wrestler during the Attitude era but ever since the 2010 title run I'm finding it hard to truly care about anything he's involved in.

He will not and should not be let go, people suggesting this are a bit silly, he's worth way too much to the company to be let go. He needs to be given a proper run and all out monster heel push or be given a high profile feud with a midcarder to help put them over and not put him in limbo like he is now. I wouldn't mind if he kept on losing to the likes of Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler & hell even Kofi Kingston to help put them to the next level but at the moment he's just in a feud where if he doesn't win then his momentum dies and Randy Orton gains nothing from it.

Also sorry to say this but he's not actually 7foot, more like 6 foot 7 *don't hurt me *

[DanThompson]

15 years is an amazing run and now I would like to see him putting new stars over. Everyone is right saying that Cena feud and now the Orton one isnt doing anyone any good.

[Gerald Sinstad]

Kane was relevant in 1998.It's time to either help elevate new talent or retire.

[quickstrike83]

I really like Kane but its been time for awhile for him to hang up his boots. he'll be in the hall of fame soon after im sure.
