Nothing I just thought Kurt could have had a better match and Kane could have had this same match with someone else to make this card better overall

 

[Chris]

Kurt is one guy that can turn face and heel on a dime. It wouldn't have hurt him that much. It doesn't even seem that forced compared to Show's turns. Kurt can get a crowd to hate him in seconds by just sayin' a few words. (Thread reply)

Yeah that's fair too, Angle could easily have turned face and teamed with Austin and then just turned right back on him the next night

 

[Daddy Deville]

besides knowing what we know now bout NWO would of hhad a Austin/angle feud after Wm

I think we are all lookin' at this match retrospectively considerin' how much Kane was used in fodder roles in later years. This was probably good bookin' at the time

I can't help it bc I don't remember wrestling very vividly until after 'Mania in 02 lol basically the draft extension

Nah, this was literally thrown on here with almost no build.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Angle was feuding with Trips for the entire road to Mania to get Trips spot.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I know it had little build but Kane's name was less tarnished at this point as a top performer

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Angle was also the last eliminated by Trips in the Rumble IIRC.

I mean the name value is certainly there. It's a Mania worthy match. But it doesn't feel important, still.

Eh, I'd say by 1999-2000 Kane was a permanent mid-carder. He was teaming with Pac.

 

[Chris]

Kane really didn't get tarnished much until later in 02 so I'll give KIF some points there but it's not really making me think higher of the match lol

Brothers of Destruction run kinda resurrected him a bit though

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Honestly, I'm just tryin' throw out an alternative look at this match considerin' we are almost 20 years in the future. Not sure if I even agree with what I sayin' it.

Still wasn't a great match.
