Kane vs. The Big Show

[0.0] "Sometimes I enjoy Big Show, and there was a time I liked Kane, though his work has aged rather poorly in the lens of going out to see how actually good big men wrestle. Even if you loved both guys, it's hard to imagine viewing this match as anything but an interminable slog, a lumbering match serving no purpose but to bore everyone to death, with an idiotic ending as well."

[1.0] "Both Kane and Big Show are great wrestlers, but this didn't work. Wasn't a well put together match with no real highlights, they are certainly capable of better showings. Should of kept it short and sweet. The ending with the "May 19th" was silly, fun but silly and for a PPV with some bad finishes, this was not required."

[1.0] "I was thinking this couldn't possibly be as bad as the rating but it actually was lmao. And this is coming from someone that actually really liked Big Show from 2002-2006."

[2.0] "Really bad. I can't muster much of a defense of this one besides saying it isn't wholly unwatchable. The actual wrestling is...alright, I guess? It was nothing special, but they weren't stinking up the joint until the 'finish' where voices start playing over the PA in the arena, and the commentators have to sell it as if it is a mystical power or something. Show hits him with a chair and leaves. It is a bad promotion for a movie, and you can tell beyond promoting the movie they had no idea what to do with the storyline. I've seen a handful of worse matches, but this was worse than I ever thought it'd be."

[0.0] "Dreadful stuff. This is one of those matches that a six year me would have found entertaining if only for the freakshow factor, but adult me absolutely loathes. It ultimately peaked about five seconds into the match with Big Show's legitimately impressive press slam of Kane. If this match was instead more of a hoss fight, I probably would have somewhat enjoyed it. Instead, it was totally lifeless, and didn't really capture the intensity of a feud that was caused by Kane trying to end Big Show's career by blinding him. Instead, they spent a decent chunk of the match working each other over with bland submissions and grappling. To make matters worse, the match ended inconclusively in a cringeworthy attempt to promote Kane's upcoming move, See No Evil, which was a commercial and critical flop. Instead of the "voices" coming off as creepy as was intended, they instead came off as annoying because it only reminded me that I had wasted nearly ten minutes watching this borefest. 1/4*"

[2.0] "I love when matches just don't have a finish as it shows that the booker had no idea what to do with a story. Kane gets stressed out about the premiere of his movie or some shit, some spooky voices get played and Big Show hits him in the head with a chair, because that's the best way to cure mental illness and then they just walk away. Brilliant."

[0.0] "awful awful match, Show in this era waa terrible and Kane is definitely not the guy who can carry people, I don't think these two ever had good matches with each other, even with chemistry and effort these guys won't put on a more than 2 stars match but with no chemistry and with no interest in the match they put a utterly horrifically bad match. [DUD]"

[0.0] "The perfect storm of utterly dross wrestling with 0 rhythm or gusto, bizarre promotional angle for a film that should count itself lucky that the Razzies didn't know it exists, and a ludicrous non-finish that is right up there in terms of the worst finishes to a WWE match in the 2000s. Beyond a dud."

[2.0] "These two just shouldn't have matches against other as it was always slow and boring action which did nothing"

[1.0] "Kane and Big Show did some good stuff as a tag team but their one on one matches were always pretty ghastly."

[1.0] "Yikes this was bad. The storyline was ok but Kane and Big Show did not have good matches with each other ever."

[2.0] "Ehhh this was pretty boring. Just a sluggish match between two giants who are both capable of having great matches with more suitable opponents but definitely not each other. And it showed. *"

[2.0] "It was an sort of alright match between two giants, but the ending where kane got into a state and big show walked out was not a good way to end the match, and also should have gone longer than 8 minutes. *3/4"
