You're not allowed to have a go at Kane because he's been knocking about 21 years.

You're not allowed to have a go at Kane because he's Knox County Mayor in his other life, lol.

You're not allowed to have a go at Kane because he's a legend, pal, and he's a bigger star than Finn Bálor ever will be so that's why it's okay he beat him so easily all those times.

Are you allowed to have a go at Kane because he's not any good?

Kane - and this discussion has been had more times than is healthy - has had precisely one good gimmick-free singles match ever. The bizarrely brilliant 2001 SmackDown scrap with Albert is absolutely worth watching, but nothing he's done on his own over the aforementioned two decades-plus-one warrants a mention.

Your writer is no big fan of The Undertaker and has thus had threats and curses made on his person as a result. Your writer has also stuck with WWE's output for nearly 30 years and thus understands just how much 'The Deadman' has contributed to such a perfectly imperfect product. Kane has longevity without the legitimacy, unless you're a Knox County residence that needs something doing about your bins.
