I have to agree with Loose Cannon. I mean, it's not that I would be opposed to seeing a young guy do it. I think it means more than winning a World Title at this point, and I think if they had someone they had a lot of confidence in, then it would be a tremendous move. A Jack Swagger, a Drew McIntyre or a David Hart Smith could do well with a win like that. But then you do have a lot of pressure on them, an ego could develop and all that.

John Cena, on the other hand, is tried and tested, but for some reason doesn't feel like that "mega-star" that a Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock were. Now, granted, something organically needs to occur for that to happen. But if any kayfabe achievement would put a man instantly into the Hall of Fame; it would be ending The Undertaker's streak.

In my opinion, one of the stupidest booking decisions the WWE has ever made, was when they had Randy Orton successfully defend the WWE Title against John Cena and Triple H at WrestleMania XXIV. I know people found the decision refreshing at the time, but until this point John Cena had a nice little WrestleMania streak going. He was 4-0 at WrestleMania at this point, and his win last year made him 5-1. Imagine if he won the WWE Title at Mania XXIV, and he beats Batista this year. That would give him a streak of 7-0 heading into WrestleMania XXVII against The Undertaker's 18-0 record. That would be a fucking money match.

Kane doing it would make me mark out like a little bitch. Especially if they gave Kane one more title run after it happened. They could even have Kane win Money in the Bank earlier in the evening, and then cash it in against The Undertaker after he defeats someone, and then Kane gets two wins in one night, and wins the World Heavyweight Title. Kane will probably eventually go into the Hall of Fame for his work as a company man throughout the years and memorable character; but this would be a kayfabe achievement that would allow people to think of Kane as one of the greatest of all-time. I think the man deserves that.
