Shane McMahon Ruined Kane's Career

They faced at Unforgiven in a Last Man Standing match in which Kane won. You think that would have been the end but Shane had to antagonize Kane more which led to their final confrontation in an Ambulance Match at Survivor Series in which Kane won as well.

The key thing to remember here is that Kane ultimately won this feud. No matter what Shane McMahon did to Kane he couldn't stop him, whether that was throwing him into burning dumpsters, throwing him off the stage, crashing him in a limo etc. The simple fact of the matter is, Shane did all these crazy things to Kane that would have destroyed anybody else yet each week Kane kept coming back and kicking Shane's ass. Now, had Kane have lost to Shane during their program, then I might have had bigger issues but all in all I have to say I quite enjoyed their feud and don't see it as hindering Kane's momentum or career.

The main problem I had was that Shane was booked to be almost Kane's equal in their entire feud. By all means Kane should have destroyed Shane and gone on to bigger and better things but that didn't happen. To me it killed the invincibility and fear that Kane had when he removed his mask and relegated him to what he was for a couple of years before 2003.

See in my eyes I thought Kane feuding with a McMahon was a positive, some say you haven't made it until you've had a 'McMahon feud' and in 2003, Kane got his which he won. I don't think it killed his invincibility because again, Shane did all this crazy stuff to Kane yet he kept coming back, if anything I would argue this feud maintained the aura of invincibility or in the least it didn't kill it in my view.

Kane did get his chance at a world title at Armageddon against Goldberg and HHH but failed to win.

True, which shows that the McMahon feud didn't kill his momentum as he would still go on and be involved with the World Title. Instead of regressing after the Shane saga, he progressed to fighting for Raw's main belt.

He would go on to feud with Undertaker, Matt Hardy, and Snitsky and would later become a jobber to the stars.

Now this is where we begin to see Kane's ultimate fall from grace in my opinion. I loved the build up to his feud with Undertaker at Wrestlemania 20, of course I never thought there was a chance in hell that Kane could be allowed to win but I think it's fair to say that he was defeated with relative ease and in my opinion Kane at least deserved to put up more of a fight. In a way, this match completely killed his monster aura, especially when any fan who had been watching for any considerable amount of time compared this match to his earlier one with 'Taker at Wrestlemania 14, an event where Kane truly looked unstoppable, despite losing. Then following the Undertaker Wrestlemania 20 match, Kane's career took it's ultimate U-turn for me when he began feuding with lesser stars in Matt Hardy and Snitsky especially.

If they would have kept the momentum Kane had and destroyed Shane, I believe they should have let Kane win the title even it was for a few months.

I am willing to agree with you here for sure. If ever there was a time to put the belt on Kane, it was during 2003 after he unmasked. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have feuded with Shane, but following that a title run would have still been believable to me.

As far as Kane goes these days, I've always contended that they just need to put him in some meaningful high profile feuds and that will begin the process of re-building him. Despite his character assassination, Kane still remains massively over and he is one of the few WWE talents who actually has a character, which is a positive in itself...
