Dude's been consistently over too. And if you notice, when he is going between characters and feuds (when he isn't doing anything), even if he is still a heel, he automatically starts getting face pops as if he wasn't trying to kill a face the last month or set someone on fire or something :laugh:

Probably the most successful spin off character ever

We tend to :gladbron: at guys like HHH, HBK, Rock, Austin, Taker when they come back to Raw we ignore the workhorses like Kane, Jericho, Christian, Henry, Show, etc. who still stick around without the fanfare.

Not to mention he's probably the best pure tweener Vince created and 2nd longest running gimmick after Taker.

Top 30-50.

:salute: to Kane.

Lot of respect for dude. Quite incredible how he can flip flop weekly between face/heel and still be over regardless. Can do the serious role, or the goofy shyt and either one is believable. I prefer his persona/promo work more than anything, though I can definitely say his mobility for his size and able to never seem out of shape in these 16+ years is something amazing.

If there was a glue guy award for the E, I'd probably label him as that. Because he wasn't a top draw, seems to be a reason he is underrated so much - but his longevity/consistency for this long should gain him more respect than he has. Guess that time will come when he's officially retired.

The thing is, he never got a chance as the top guy to draw, so I hate when people hold that against him.

And if you want to get technical, Taker hasn't been around consistently in about 5 years, so Kane is catching up..






Eloquent Glen is in my top 30 purely cause I like dude. Can I think of 30 guys who would go before him when creating a fantasy fed, yes. But he seems to be the epitome of humbleness, hard work and just being a cool ass dude from what I can tell. I've never heard someone talk shyt about him at all.

As far as the fukkery goes, he deserves a wing in the fukkery Hall of Fame. I don't know anyone who could take the amount of bullshyt he's taken and still be over this long.

kane is top 15 in my book, one of the most consistent stars in ring and when it comes to the fans...dude took a one shot character and made a deep character out of it...that'd be like when they had a fake diesel/fake razor and they became superstars [ironic glen jacobs played fake diesel]

every year kane manages to pull out a great/entertaining/crazy storyline and has done it for consecutive years without a huge injury, sorta like jericho

He turns shyt into piff so I got no hate for him. Crazy to think I remember seeing Issac Yankem and Fake Diesel and finding out he was the same guy. :heh:

Kane pushing Ryder off the stage was the best moment of the year in WWE as far as unintentional comedy. He would also be the guy to get tapped on the shoulder with the script during that ambulance scene shyt like that would only happen with Kane. :pachaha:

its hard cause you can make a case for dude being top 20 but it doesn't feel he's a top 20 guy

but i will say this, he will be one of the most underrated wrestlers in any era

If only one more book was put out by any wrestler alive, I think I'd want it to be Glen Jacobs' book.

Never been one of my favorites and I've skipped over a lot of his feuds/matches but I respect his staying power. I'd rank him really high in today's E but he'd be pretty low all time wise.

I've never cared for nor hated him. But I respect him always being in the mix, always being in shape, and always being relevant. He could be in a semi-main event match and not seemed forced.

He's definitely an all-time great WWF/WWE great.

This. I'd say he's top 30
