>>7987964Batista was old and overrated and a shitty worker, and besides he was on his way off to Hollywood too so it would have been a bad idea.
I do believe there is an alternate universe out there somewhere though where Kane was actually booked competently throughout his career and didn't constantly have his gimmick and mystique buried, and in that universe Kane would have been the only guy where it would have made sense to have him break the streak. Unfortunately we don't live in that universe.
