TORONTO – Neither Kane nor Kurt Angle was

particularly happy with how the match ended, but as far as they’re concerned, everything else went perfectly.

Kane lost a hard-fought battle, and declared just moments after the match in an interview with WWF.com that his rivalry with Angle “ain’t over yet.” Angle said he was just disappointed with himself because when he tried to use the ropes for leverage to pin Kane, he missed initially, so the ending came off awkwardly. But the rest of the match, both superstars said, was perfect. Based on the reaction of the crowd at SkyDome, the fans seemed to agree.

“Despite the outcome, I think this is going to be the best WrestleMania ever,” Kane said. “Out of all the past Pay-Per-View events that we’ve done, and all the huge contests that we’ve had, I think this WrestleMania is going to top them all, and that’s saying something.”

Angle and Kane were both prominent participants in WrestleMania X-Seven last year in Houston, where 69,725 fans were on hand. But walking out in front of more than 68,000 this year in Toronto was just as big of a thrill, they said.

“When it hits you is when you first walk out,” Angle said. “You can’t believe how many people are there. And you know millions of people are watching on Pay-Per-View.”

Said Kane, “That’s a rush. When you walk out of the curtain and you’re out there – that’s a small city we’re talking about. That’s just incredible.”
