6. Kane's A 20-Year Veteran And Still A Main Eventer...How Does He Do It?
WWE put on a groundbreaking event from Tokyo, Japan that extended the company's brand and reach like never before. While yes, it was an admittedly smaller than usual crew, at this critical juncture for WWE, Kane was in the main event. When contemplating Kane's legacy, as much as that one time he got assaulted by a zamboni-driving Steve Austin and the one time he electrocuted Shane McMahon's testicles are entertaining, from a wrestling standpoint, main eventing big events like these are likely more important. Let's call out a few facts: Kane's in the best shape of his career, has successfully teased a babyface turn for almost a year, and never really has a "bad" match. He also doesn't need a championship to get over, and similar to The Undertaker, has refreshed his look seemingly hundreds of times yet still retains his heat. Amazing.
