10 times Kane won when he should have lost

#2 With The Undertaker vs. DDP & Kanyon (SummerSlam 2001)

Kane and Undertaker won the WWF and WCW Tag Titles in this cage match

14 years before they teamed up to beat Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper, the Brothers of Destruction teamed up during the early stages of the WCW/ECW invasion storyline. Undertaker and Kane were the WCW Tag Team Champions and DDP and Kanyon were the WWF Tag Team Champions because at the time they loved having the warring factions holding each others’ belts.

Stone Cold Steve Austin, for example, the leader of the Alliance, was the WWF Champion, and the main event of SummerSlam 2001 saw The Rock, who was one of the leaders of the WWF, win the WCW Championship.

In any event, at the time, since this was early on, people still thought there was a chance that they would try to make the WCW/ECW alliance look strong. We were all very silly to think that, but think it we did.

Two great and popular talents from WCW were DDP and Kanyon, who were teamed up for no reason other than, as far as I can tell, they were both available. And Kanyon did a comedy gimmick for a while in WCW in which he parodied DDP, going around the arena hitting random “Kanyon Kutters” (as opposed to DDP’s Diamond Cutter).

DDP was actually brought into the WWF shortly before the Alliance storyline really took full effect, when he was revealed to be the man stalking The Undertaker’s then-wife, Sara. It was a terrible storyline that should never be spoken of, and it killed DDP dead, and he never recovered.

He may have had a chance, though, if he and Kanyon had defeated Undertaker and Kane inside this cage match that had both sets of tag titles on the line. Instead, the BOD dominated the relatively short match, made their opponents look like chumps, and both men immediately became non-players in the invasion storyline. What a mess.
