I really hope that kane is hitting the gym during his resting period. I really think that he has a good 3-4 years left in him if he can maintain a decent fitness level such as the one undertaker is on (though he has a few niggles here and there, which is understandable at his age). I can understand that glen wants to put over the younger talent but his character is one that really should be preying upon these new comers. Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for glen however, I think he needs to realize that it's not what glen wants - but what kane needs. By restoring kane as a dominant main eventer as he once was, I believe that he will put over more talent than he is actually doing at the moment.
Think about it, when cena made his debut, somehow he got involved in a feud against some of the wwe's biggest stars. Kurt Angle was the first guy he took on then later on he was involved in a feud against the undertaker in which he actually won some matches. Now that is what I call putting new talent over. You can't expect the new talent to receive the same amount of respect and popularity if the guy at the other end has lost most of his matches particularly against other newbies. Yeah sure allow kane to lose a match or two against the new talent but if he constantely loses way too many times then there isn't any pride gained for the newbie.
The same thing that made cena popular made jeff hardy a main eventer. In 2002-03, hardy had a feud against the undertaker and one of those matches was a ladder match in which hardy lost but most importantly gained the respect of the undertaker and the crowd because of his performance. Now I believe that this was what lifted jeff's career to what it is today. He has been in the wwe for such a long time (with his brother matt) and equally, he has been waiting even longer to have an opportunity to become main event material. The feud with the undertaker was what he needed to ingnite his career as a main eventer. The same thing could happen to the likes of koffee kingston and others if they are given the right opponent to face, which I feel kane is one of them if his career is restored as the big red ass kicking machine he once was.
