[2012-04-01-WWE-Wrestlemania XXVIII] Randy Orton vs Kane

[cactus]

Both Orton and Kane are two wrestlers who can be good when they want to be, but can also be incredibly drab and dull when they aren't full motivated. Sadly, this was the latter. There's not much to say about the first five minutes. Kane throwing some nice throat thrusts is the only thing that comes to mind. It's all quite colorless and fans who are still annoyed by the treatment of Daniel Bryan aren't having this and you can a smattering of 'boring' and 'Daniel Bryan' chants. Thankfully, the crowd wake up and the action gets going once Orton hits one of his signature moves after countering a sidewalk slam attempt. Orton eats a chokeslam after missing his punt. He kicks out and the fans are invested again. Orton loses the match after Kane scores a rare top rope chokeslam. This was a solid enough match once it got going.
