It's easy to forget about Kane. The only people who've wrestled more than a decade consistently (with more than ten matches in WWE each year) from 2000 onward are Glen Jacobs, John Cena, Randy Orton, Paul "Big Show" Wight, Chris Jericho, Edge, William Regal and Mark Henry. 2010 marked a lot of endpoints: Undertaker and Triple H's last major runs were in 2010. Matt Hardy left in 2010. In 2011, Edge retired, John Morrison left for Hollywood, Chavo Guerrero Jr finally departed and Michelle McCool headed for off for a life as Mrs. Undertaker. Throughout all of this, Kane continued.
Kane had major tag-teams with his "brother" the Undertaker (especially 2000/2001), with the Big Show (2005, 2006 and again in 2011), Hell No (starring Daniel Bryan and their awkward hugs) 2012-2013 and RVD (2003). His number one opponent from 2000-2013 was actually Rey Mysterio Jr with more than 75 matches against one another - especially in the 2008-2009 period. He also had major feuds against MVP (2006-2007), Edge (2005) and Triple H (2000-2001). Still, overwhelming, the person that Kane worked with the most in the ring (either as a partner or an opponent) was the Undertaker (170+ matches) followed by Big Show (136+ matches) and Rey Mysterio Jr and Chris Jericho (both with 93+ matches).
