10 WWE Storylines We'd Like To See In 2018
6. The Retirement Of Kane
Kane is virtually incapable of generating anything approaching excitement in 2017.
His awfulness is infectious; not only did he set Finn Bálor back months just 24 hours after he reminded the world how good he was, his programme with Braun Strowman is easily the worst thing the Monster Among Men has done since cameoing as an Adam Rose groupie. Once WWE's safe pair of hands, the guy talents loved working with because he's so safe in the ring, Kane in 2017 treats the next generation with all the care of Lenny from Of Mice And Men.
Other than the rose-tinted Attitude Era apologists, who will campaign for "one last run with the belt" decades after he dies, Kane has precisely one fan. Luckily for him, Vince McMahon usually frantically rewrites RAW with himself in mind.
The prospect of Kane hanging up the mask isn't that unrealistic, given his political aspirations - and for all his cholera-like latter day performances, the man has serviced WWE fans, even those never really enamoured with him, with much entertainment. Even pretentious "c*nts" like your writer marked hard for Team Hell No. It was very difficult not to. He deserves a grand, ludicrous sendoff.
Resurrect Katie Vick and have them walk into the sunset. Or, in a neat bit of circular continuity, have a younger, supernatural-leaning act - a Finn Bálor, or an Aleister Black - set him ablaze in an attempt to reignite the dying embers of the Big Red Machine's aura, catching fire in the process.
