As the Undertaker continues to assemble his Ministry, looking for his first piece of WWF gold, his brother Kane remains an enigma in the World Wrestling Federation. 

Even though Kane is presently one half of the WWF World Tag Team champions with X-Pac, it's hard to figure out if X-Pac and Kane can truly function together as a team. In many of their matches it appears as if Kane and X-Pac are fighting separate battles as they rarely, if ever, employ tags and double teaming which are a staple of successful tag teams. Yet despite their lack of teaming, Kane and X-Pac have been able to hold off the challenges of former champions Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart as well as X-Pac's old partners in crime, "The New Age Outlaws": Bad Ass Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg, Jesse James.

While Kane has been busy with the tag team situation, it's hard to imagine that the antics of his brother, the Undertaker, have gone unnoticed. Kane never resolved his differences with the Undertaker, and one has to feel that the Undertaker's latest tirade will eventually draw Kane toward Vince McMahon's side in McMahon's battle against the Undertaker and the Corporate Ministry.

In reviewing his WWF tenure, the mysterious Kane has been very successful. He's held the Tag Team Championship on two different occasions and he's also captured the World Heavyweight championship. While many may discount Kane as a fluke, in actuality the man holds victories over all of the top stars in the Federation. In fact judging by the crowds that he attracts at his public appearances, the mysterious Kane has become one of the most popular men in the Federation. Yet despite his newfound popularity, Kane desperately needs someone to help him get to the next plateau. Several months ago it appeared that Chyna might be the one who could harness his power and fine tune his enormous ability, but when Chyna rekindled her flame for Hunter Hearst Helmsley, she left Kane in a New York minute.

Maybe Mr. McMahon himself could get through to Kane. With all of the problems that he has been having with the Undertaker, Mr. McMahon should make a concerted effort to seek Kane's help in his battle against the Undertaker. Lord knows that he could use someone with Kane's size, strength and power to combat the Undertaker, and who better is there anyway than the man who is his own flesh and blood. With this in mind Mr. McMahon should try to get back in Kane's good graces. If this were to ever happen, Kane's popularity would go through the roof, but it remains to be seen if Kane would ever listen to anyone, let alone the man who cast him aside when he was part of the Corporate structure.

Regardless of what may eventually happen, Kane has been very successful in his WWF tenure to date, and he can only get bigger in the months ahead.
