Taker vs. Kane wraps things up nicely from a storyline POV (if that's even possible given the amount of retcon done on the Half-Brothers of Destruction) but a FORTY to 45 minute (because shaving that 5 minutes off could be the difference between a ****1/2 and 5* match, guys) "classic" it won't be.

They've had WM matches before; over 10 years ago, and nearly 20 years ago, neither of which were classics when Taker still had a lot more "go" in him. They've had non-WM matches too, Hell In A Cell and Buried Alive matches 5 years ago, that again were nowhere near classics.

Takers last 2 matches at Mania haven't been classics, with arguably more capable opponents than Kane is.

What I'm saying is, Taker and/or Kane aren't capable of a great match even with the tacked-on "oomph" of a huge gimmick match, yet you think they can put on a 40 minute "classic"?

I disagree.
