KANE
Glen Jacobs was born on
4/26/68 in Madrid Spain. He was trained by Ray
Candy and Dean Malenko. He made his pro debut in
either 1993 or 1994. The early part of his
career was marred by horrible gimmicks including
The Christmas Creature (a wrestling Christmas
Tree), Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS, and Fake Diesel.
Despite rumors and story lines, he is not
related to The Undertaker or Paul Bearer, never
married Lita, knew a Katie Vick, and only Glen
Jacobs played the part of Kane.
The Secret Revealed:
After several months of threatening The
Undertaker about a dark secret, Paul Bearer let
the world know that Undertaker killed his family
in a fire but his brother was still alive. At
the first Hell in a Cell match, Kane made his
debut by costing Undertaker a match with Shawn
Michaels. Undertaker refused to fight Kane until
he was burnt alive in a coffin at Royal Rumble
98.
The Never Ending Feud:
Kane and Taker fought for the first time at
Wrestlemania 14. Prior to this match, Kane
attacked Pete Rose for the first of 3
consecutive WM attacks on Pete. The Kane-UT feud
has been on and off since. Sometimes the UT is
the bad guy and sometimes Kane was the bad guy.
They seem to turn on one another and become
friends again on a regular basis.
What is continuity?:
When Kane appeared he wore a mask and had
sleeves to hide his disfigurement from the fire.
He also was unable to speak without aid of a
voice box. Today Kane wrestles without a mask or
shirt on and can speak. In addition, he used to
be dim-witted and continually threatened with
being put in a mental asylum. Details of his
physical and mental healing have never been
revealed.
Feuds with Triple H and
Shane McMahon :
In late 2002, Triple H revealed that Kane
murdered his ex-girlfriend Katie Vick. A few
months later, Triple H beat Kane in a match
where he had to unmask. Kane went insane and
started to set people on fire and even beat up
Linda McMahon. Her son Shane came to her rescue
in the worst written feuds ever. Lowlights
included Shane getting a car battery attached to
his testicles and Kane falling into a burning
dumpster and being unmarked the next week.
A bizarre love
triangle:
Lita slept with Kane to keep him from
beating up her boyfriend Matt Hardy. He wound up
getting her pregnant and won her hand in
marriage by beating Matt. A few weeks later,
Gene Snitsky caused Lita to have a miscarriage.
This event seemed to bring them closer together,
but Lita wound up being with Edge when details
of their real life relationship caused Matt
Hardy to be fired.
Kane, The Big Show, and
May 19:
These giants were brought together by a
Taboo Tuesday vote. That night they won the tag
team title. Combined, they are almost 14 feet
tall and weigh close to 1,000 pounds. The tag
team broke up because Kane went insane when he
heard the words May 19, which is the release
date of his first movie, See No Evil.
