I'm not usually one to complain about WWE's product, but I really have to question their logic after the Battle Royal. All Kane has done all year (apart from his match with Undertaker at WMXX), is face the likes of Matt Hardy, Steven Richards, Val Venis, etc. He was also in a pointless fued with Edge, which he lost. Now Edge is apparently one of the number one contenders for the Intercontinetal title, and Kane's the number one contender for the World title.
Also, we've been treated to a number of excellent World title matches recently. Both Triple Threats, HBK and Benoit, and now Benoit is going to have to carry Kane to a good match. I like Kane, don't get me wrong, but he can be quite sloppy in the ring and he's done nothing as of late to warrant a title match. It's going to be your average big guy versus little guy match, and neither Kane or Benoit are particulary good on the mic.
Which is why they missed the ball with Jericho.
He's getting bigger pops than ever, and now would be a good time for him to move on from his fued with Christian (after the cage match), and it would've been nice to see Benoit vs Jericho again. That would've continued along the lines of HBK/Benoit and the two Triple Threats. Sure, both Jericho and Benoit are faces, but so are HBK and Benoit, and they work brilliantly together.
But why have Kane face Benoit instead? It makes no sense.
Jericho said two weeks ago that he'd challenge the winner of the Benoit/HBK match, while Kane has been fueding with Matt Hardy and Lita. Yet another love triangle. It would've made more sense to continue that love triangle and have Jericho move onto a programme with Benoit. Now Jericho's left with no where to go, Kane will be fueding with Benoit and Matt Hardy and Lita, I assume, and it's all very, very stupid.
