During Raw, someone brought up a question that I thought I had My answer to; "Who should win between Taker and Kane?" Now before last night, I would have said Kane, no question ... but now I'm not so sure.

Now hear me out, I know Kane needs this to go over, but I also think in terms of long term goals, Taker needs to be put over strongly as well. Let me run down a few scenarios (wow, I'm feeling sort of Heyman-esque)

Kane Wins
So Kane goes over the Undertaker and as result looks like the shit. What good does that really do right now though? You've got Benoit set to win the title, with Triple H and HBK chopping at the bit. That doesn't leave much room for Kane in the world title/main event picture. So you end up having a Taker's legacy ruined, for Kane to end up lost in the shuffle. At the same time, Taker loses a little bit of his ability to put others over. Guys like Cena could use the rub from the Undertaker, and if the "dead man" gets beat the night of his return, he doesn't look very credible.

Scenario 2: Undertaker wins
Kane's push goes to the shit hole, and all this build up for the feud turns into nothing but a forum to re-debut Undertaker's gimmick. Taker again has the power to give stars the rub, but Kane's character is pretty much killed off ... again ... and he can't afford that ... again.

So, what do I think should happen?

My Idea: time limit draw.
Both men need to brawl all out, kick out of tombstones, chokeslams, chair shots, EVERYTHING in two counts or less. The match itself has the crowd hot due to the back and forth nature and allows for several things. Kane's character, while he didn't win, still looks great ... just not world title great... YET. Taker has a successful return and can go on what the net fans will know is a farewell tour, giving guys like Cena, and Eddie the rub, only to have at the end of each feud (which just so happens to be a joint PPV) to get screwed by Kane, and visa-versa. This keeps a semblance of heat going between the two, allows them both to look good, and Kane to ultimately look godly at next years Mania, by Ending Taker's streak, and being the man to take him out and then go on to win the World title.

Thoughts? Opinions?
