Kane has had several good tag team partners over the years. Kane and Rob Van Dam had several good matches and title defenses and they meshed quite well as a team. Kane and Big Show basically just destroyed everyone the first time they team up. Makes me sad WWE booked them to drop the titles against the Spirit Squad in favor of that failed May 19th storyline. Team Hell No has been fantastic since the start; when they drop the titles I hope they do so spectacularly.

I feel Undertaker was Kane's best tag team partner. The Brothers of Destruction was significant due to the love/hate relationship between the two. Their matches with the Two Man Power Trip were awesome.

I always liked the "Brothers of Destruction" thing, partially because it was so rare and had such long periods in between, and partially because the two of them are so big and mysterious that it seemed they were capable of just about anything.

Did they ever appear together as heels in the old days? I can't remember, but that would really have been something. As it was, having them show up before the last Wrestlemania was an exciting surprise. As always, seeing two characters of such discordant personalities working together makes for great theater; you never know whether they're going to attack their enemies......or each other.

It's a measure of Kane's development as a character that this topic asks who Kane's best partner was, rather than asking it about Undertaker, given the legendary status of Mark Calaway. Long ago, I believed the Kane persona would have the shelf life of, say, Tensai as far as being an effective force. It's a tribute to Glenn Jacobs that he's handled everything thrown at him by the writers and made a highly successful career of it.

CLEARLY THE HURRICANE WAS HIS BEST PARTNER!!!

.. juuuust kidding, though I did think it was comical. They both did chokeslams (Hurricane's was ridiculous) They both had masks which was different for a tag team at the time, I think? and the clever name of HurriKANE. But, all in all, it was just another silly team for a character like Kane to have part in.

I believe his ACTUAL best tag-team partner has gotta go to The Undertaker: Taker is the only reasonable partner Kane has ever had, considering their backstories and what-not. Sadly the Undertaker was the biker-guy for most of their tenure as a tag team.

Brothers of Destruction or Mankind.
they may have only been 2 timte tag team champs each partner but they were easily the most imposing teams in the division and in a time when Kane was relevant as a monster heel.

Can't argue Kane was more entertaining when he began to speak and wsas teamed with Hurricane Helms but The Brothers of Destruction for me are like DX, they are timeless. everything else is forgettable as far as Kane and the tag division goes, until now ofcourse Team Hell No has grown on me, they are hell funny..

The word "best" has always been my least favorite word in these forums because it's usually about best overall instead of a best part. All of Kane's pairings have brought out the best in one aspect of Kane, however I simply asked myself: if they were to do a vote/raw active/whatever where we picked Kane's partner out of the above, who would I pick? When asking myself that question, the answer was Taker hands above all others. The two have been a HUGE factor in each other's career and I would even say they were each other's best feuds yet best partners. When you heard that some tag team was facing the Brothers of Destruction, you knew they were going to get destroyed. It wasn't a matter of being the biggest or even the strongest, it was a matter of being the "baddest" in the best sense of the word.

Brothers of Destruction in storyline terms as they were a main event tag team. Artistically I'm loving Bryan and kane right now though.

X-Pac for me. I really liked the big man little man dynamic. Plus we got to see Kane more humanized and he got rid of that stupid voice box thing. I think the two of them worked well together and it allowed us to see Kane in a totally different way.

Kane and RVD were awesome too.
