10 Attitude Era Feuds Bret Hart Missed Out On

5. Kane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HwdZjlYtoQ Though teased in 2010, this feud would've been a huge hit had it happened in the late '90s, after Kane's work with The Undertaker and Mankind. Kane was still silent, deadly, and utterly brutal, and was slowly steamrollering his way through the WWE roster, having not yet become the glorified enhancement talent that he is today. One of Hart's biggest rivals in 1997 was The Undertaker, with the pair going on to headline Summerslam of that year. With Kane debuting as Undertaker's storyline half-brother the following year, it would've been feasible to see him move onto one of the company's biggest names in order to give him the main event legitimacy that he needed at that time. Given that Hart was one of the trusted workers of the company to help newer guys looks good in the ring, he could've worked wonders with a young Kane. Hart was always great at working with bigger men, as his matches with Taker, Diesel, and Psycho Sid all proved. Lest we forget that before he was Kane, Glenn Jacobs was Jerry Lawler's own personal dentist, Dr. Isaac Yankem. Yankem and Hart fought at Summerslam '95, and while it might not be one of the finer moments of either man's career, it does take the pair back a long way and established the chemistry that they shared. Kane would've been no different to many of Hart's 'big man' feuds, and had the booking been right, the Big Red Machine would've become even more of a symbol of the Attitude Era than he already is.
