Should Kane Have Grabbed The Belt In 2003?

[The Small Show]

In 2003, Kane received one of his biggest pushes ever (Arguably). Kane set Jim Ross on fire, Attacked GMs & Staff, Tombstoned Linda McMahon and seemed on a path of total dominance. Do you think Kane should have won the belt back then, instead of now?

IMO I think he should have. Back then, Kane could have claimed that the reason for him attacking everyone and beating up Taker at SS 03 would be that he's sick of Taker always getting the title shots and he's sick of Undertaker getting the PPV main event spots while he sits in the back of the lockerroom and achieves nothing. I think it would have been much more effective back then rather than now.

I honestly don't remember much from that time. I'd have to do some looking up to see what else was going on at that moment. All I remember from what you said about in setting Ross on fire.

bro, your asking people about something from 7 years ago if you wanna jog our memories post some videos of it or something

I honestly don't remember Kane being that dominant during that time, but I do think that this storyline is much better for Kane. Having him Tombstone the Undertaker was a huge break in his current career, now more than ever so I think that it is better now.

When Kane took off his mask he was on a tear and probably could have been propelled into the title picture at that time. Unfortunately though he destroyed people for a little while and then had his entire monster mystique killed off when he started selling for Shane McMahon of all people.

I just hope it doesn't end with Taker ending Kane's career. The main thing that would make entirely no sense at all would be for this to go on til Mania, and Kane putting the title on the line against Taker at Mania. That's not bad (hoping Kane wins then) but the bad part would be for them to make it a retirement vs retirement match with the title on the line. If Taker wins he gets the title, and retires Kane, if Kane wins he just retires Taker. There's something wrong with that scale considering Kane doesn't get much.

yea i agree, kane has been in the business for a long time and alot of newer guys are already catching up to kane in the midst of world title reigns (I.e. Kane is a former ecw champ, wwe champ and the world champ atm, Swagger has already held two of those, Sheamus has held the wwe title twice while kane held it for only a day) and the undertaker has had 8 title reigns while him and kane have been wrestling just about equally as long.

It won't go on until WM obviously, that would be Blue. But I guarantee it will lead to Kane's retirement probably and hopefully in/at Hell in a Cell.

Obviously? How is it obvious? There are numourous ways for this to go on until Mania. They could start feuding now over the title. Some others get added to the title picture to keep it fresh. Kane could lose the title and get it back. Taker could win the Rumble sigh One of them could win at Hell In a Cell. Taker could lose a title match and they have Taker work his way back up to tittle. Many ways for this to keep going. A lot can happen between now and Mania.

But if Taker does retire Kane... FUCK YOU TAKER!!

Don't forget that he electrocuted Shane O'Mac's nad sack with a car battery! What a heel!

The title was revolved around HHH and evolution at the time, Kane grabbing the belt would of only made that faction look weak and could of changed the whole way it played out.

I think that his whole path of dominace (JR on Fire, Tombstoning Linda on the stage, etc.) was to get him over as a sick evil monster even without his most intimidatig factor, that being his mask. His feud with Shane which came after all these attacks did the trick though, and that feud kept his evilness going for years.

Putting the title on him back then wouldnt of really done anything productive and I think that with his current world title run still going strong, everything ha splayed out extremley well in the favor of Kanes career.
