Kane

Now here is a brilliant worker.

Kane is the one guy I never got bored of during the Attitude era and beyond.

One of the best big guys of all-time IMO.

This guy has gone through some radical character changes, he's had some very inconsistent backstory and has been put in some shitty angles but has managed to come out of it all looking pretty damn good.

He's nearing retirement now as it has been well documented in the last few years and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledged how much I have enjoyed Kane as a performer in the time that I have been a wrestling fan.

In the ring he is DAMN solid. Not the greatest wrestler of all-time, very few of his matches will be remembered as five stars. But this guy has been DAMN solid.

Glen Jacobs had to pretty much stay in character wherever he went with the WWE for a good few years and still does it well. He portrayed that Kane character perfectly.

Most of all I notice that he is still really over with the fans. There is some kind of undying respect the crowd will have for Kane. He always elicits a huge pop and will this could be down to his pyro or his music I like to put it down to how good of a worker Glen Jacobs is, how well he potrayed that character and in doing so managed to get the fans to relate to him and feel such empathy for him.

One of the great guys at portraying a tweener, he always had the right moderation between being a badass and popping the crowd by doing something awesome.

He's been in some truly memorable feuds, most notable of all the neverending angle between himself and Undertaker. His program with DX/Corporation springs to mind.

Many will never forget his Wrestlemania 14 showing. An awesome match. If not just for the spectacle of it.

Here's to Kane.
