Ranking Kane's 20 WrestleMania Matches From Worst To Best
Two decades of destruction!
When it comes to WrestleMania, Kane is an unsung iron man.
He doesn't have as many appearances or wins at the show of shows as his older brother, true, nor has he ever been in the main event of WWE's top pay-per-view spectacular. Still, since his debut nearly 20 years ago, "The Big Red Machine" has competed at every single WrestleMania show possible. Yes, he has been relegated to the kickoff show or Sunday Night Heat on a couple of occasions, but when the grandest stage of them all is unveiled, Kane is always there.
If Kane competes at WrestleMania this year, it will be the 20th event in a row for "The Devil's Favorite Demon." Already, he's racked up 20 matches at 19 shows, meaning that The Undertaker is the only competitor in history with more WrestleMania contests to his name.
This list looks at Kane's complete body of WrestleMania bouts - each and every one of those 20 matches - and ranks them all from worst to best. There are some classics, some duds, and a lot of stuff in between - after all, Kane's career has been defined by highs and lows.
20. Vs. The Great Khali - WrestleMania 23
The Great Khali came into WWE in 2006 with a huge push, decimating The Undertaker and cleanly beating him on PPV. Once The Undertaker got his revenge, though, Khali was no longer quite as fearsome. By the time WrestleMania 23 rolled around the following year, he and Kane clashed in an undercard match at the show of shows.
The match was awful. Lasting five-and-a-half minutes - an eternity for a Great Khali singles bout - the two giants plodded around the ring, with Kane eventually managing to bodyslam Khali. It wasn't enough to give him the win, though, and Khali came back with a two-handed Chokeslam to get the victory. After the match, Khali choked Kane with a hook on a chain, the same weapon that Kane's character, Jacob Goodnight, used in See No Evil.
The Great Khali push continued from there, as the giant captured the World Heavyweight Title later in the year and feud with the likes of Batista and - you guessed it - Kane.
