Kane is one of the most hardworking superstars in WWE history. Also one of the most under-rated wrestlers. No royal rumble win in 17 years! Whereas Stone cold won 3 Royal Rumbles in 8 years. Also he was WWE champion for just fewer no. of times. Kane gave all sacrifices and did everything what he had to do for WWE. In 2009, he was as bad as spike dudley, losing every match, but still he didnt complain and gave chance to newcomers. Such a nice and humble person in real life. Epic Respect to him!!!
@@johnjenks7812 he meant that. The writers didn't give him a break through. Like cm punk asked for one but did not get. Then he felt so sorry for himself that he left wwe. Actually he was fired during his wedding day. Kane is definitely Underrated.
@@fahimabrar3367 That and the fans. Most looked at him as The Undertaker's brother instead of Kane (became true 2005+). Since Corporate Kane, he gets little to NO reaction. That's a shame since he's a legend yet ppl tend to forget that. I mean, I can't blame them, he doesn't win matches most of the time so he is no longer a credible threat. If only WWE would've just made him appear once in awhile, Chokeslam random ppl, and leave. Monster character without any burial. Everybody wins!
Glenn Jacobs (Kane) is about as much of a legend in WWE as Mark Calaway (Undertaker). Both should be inducted into the Hall Of Fame individually and as a pair.
Kane is the most underrated hero of WWE. He helped so many who came and went. Yet he hardly got the push he deserved IMO. I met him a few months ago, he's also the most civil wrestler I've ever met. I won't be watching WWE when he goes.
+stufaman It's funny to watch him in the ring with all the new wrestlers now. He's so much better than pretty much any of them but he fits right in. He has aged well.
+stufaman He is a dang genius too. I had the privilege of listening to him do a lecture on economics and the whole time I sat there I was like, "Holy Crap! Kane's talking about economics! He should choke slam trickle down economics through the podium." Great guy!
***** I've got tourettes syndrome. Kane was very civil and understanding about it. He was already my favourite wrestler before, but he is the best guy who carries himself outside WWE IMO.
Not sure if sarcastic, you can't go to a wwe video with Kane in it without seeing hundreds of hate comments. The current fanbase despises Kane, I don't but, ALOT of them do.
Thats correct but what I meant was the Wrestlers in common. You can see shoots of everyone except the brothers of destruction. Not even kevin nash or bret hart who were the top shooters at their prime lol
Jarrecko They despise Kane because he's a heel and he's also a member of the authority. And that's fine.. That means Kane is doing his job correctly. But he deserves better.
This always surprises people.... most actors, or people that work with actors will tell you.... The nicest guy USUALLY, not always... but most of the time play bad guys, villains.... and the egocentric, douchebags play the heroes... it makes sense, they're pretending to be heroes, not actual heroes.... and guys like Kane, or Vince McMahon are playing people you're supposed to hate, they're sacrificing they're image for the entertainment.
IDGAF wat anyone thinks....Kane is easily one of the best wrestlers EVER! period.....he could be the big red machine or Corporate Kane Im still a huge fan.
It's always these dudes who play these massive hulking monsters in movies and in wrestling, that always tend to be so nice, humble, gentle and down to earth. It's awesome for sure!
Batista said something about Kane and it was one of the few times I agreed with him especially after he talked trash about OVW. He said Kane is one of the most mistreated wrestlers in wwf/wwe's history. This man should have held far more titles than he did. But he always got the short end of the stick.
Here's the thing tho, Kane never really wanted to be in the spot light, he was more interested in giving others a push to make them superstars before himself. Most wouldn't look at it that way in their careers
the Attitude Era was probably the most "CHARISMATIC" era of all time. i mean come on, name's like Kane, Triple H, Mick Foley and his 3 persona's, Kurt Angle, Road Dogg, The Dudley Boyz, Rikishi, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, and even the big boss himself "Mr. McMahon" was a character. i wish WWE was as exciting to watch today just like it was back then.
This interview pissed me off. Kane is so grateful to the WWE. Seems to that he feels like he doesn't deserve his spot. Hell yeah he doesn't. He is a legend. WWE always shit on Kane's character. He went from an A* wresler to a B+ jobber. WWE doesn't deserve him. You can say that my opinion might be biased cause I'm huge Undertaker fan, so I always loved Kane, but come on now. Kane deserves more. The way they made him, 2 years after he retires, no one will remember him.
This man will forever be remembered. He is a grade A legend. He was never the "man" of the WWE but he was just below them. He was one of the main guys in the Attitude Era, always over back then. He's loved by fans across the world, people just want him to either mask up again or pack it up and head to the HoF. He is the locker room leader, respected by every one of his peers and no one ever has had beef with him. Also, he said he may run for office as a libertarian candidate so instantly people will recognise him from the WWE.
+Giorgos Apoel You've gotta remember that he's slowing down a lot now, a lot like the Big Show, and even Taker himself. Just saw a video of Kane's "comeback" or something from a few days ago, and watching him in the ring...he's definitely not what he used to be. I think that's why he fell down the card in recent years. He can't carry a match on his huge shoulders anymore, so he's taking a break. Doesn't excuse what the WWE did with him, though. If they'd just taken him off and used him like Taker (big scary guy who rarely shows up, but with a huge impact), then they could have preserved everything about his character instead of...whatever the fuck he is now.
LSD I think Undertaker is off the cards, I believe, because he's just not trying to sell as big as he has done in the past. Granted he may be slowing down, he is 50 years old now, but he is another smart wrestler looking down the line at his future outside of the ring. Which a lot of wrestlers don't do. Even Abdullah The Butcher said in a shoot interview that pro wrestling is a dirty business. He, Undertaker, holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, involved in the UFC, has done some acting, made money in real estate, and with his ex-wife Sara, started a veterinary fund in Texas A&M for the care of large breed dogs, for he doesn't need to make any bigger in the WWE. No doubt a future WWE Hall of Famer.
I was 4 years old with my older cousins in the arena when Kane first debuted. He immediately became my favorite then and he's definitely still my favorite now. :3
Once he retires from the ring I would LOVE to see him become a commentator or an on screen GM of Raw or something. The guy is incredibly intelligent, educated, and eloquent.
Have him with the GM role and as the devil. To get a championship match, you must "sell" your soul to him. The suit and how he was demonic can go so well together.
Actually, he wasn't *always* Kane. Undertaker played him one well known time. And Luke Gallows was Kane when the Unmasked Kane had to fight him (and lost).
TheTruthNJ09 dude we're talking about THE Kane. Not when Undertaker disguised as Kane on Raw '99. Not when Luke Gallows played the Imposter Kane. We're talking about the character of Kane. Glen Jacobs was ALWAYS Kane. So from what you're saying, Mark Calaway wasn't ALWAYS Undertaker because there was an imposter Undertaker in '94? Imposters does not mean that they owned the character at a point.
I've never heard anyone say Kane or Undertaker were once different people. All I'e ever heard people say is that people say they are. I've never heard anyone say this
To think that someone who has lit people on fire, attempted to murder his brother on multiple occasions, lifts you up by the throat, and was a demon, could easily be passed off as your big lovable next door neighbor.
A real class act on every level and a hell of a nice guy. Glenn as a real life business man and political blogger or as Kane, the Undertaker's fearsome Brother, he is a stand up, hard working dependable guy who treats people well and always seems to have a smile on his face. Much respect for Glenn "Kane" Jacobs.
Kane has always been the other Undertaker. Without Taker their would be no Kane. But you can say since Kane debute their would be no Undertaker without Kane. Also without Paul Bearer. I was always a huge Undertaker and Kane fan. I remember in the earlier wrestling games I would try to create a wrestler by combining Kane and Taker.
Milton Junior No it isn't. Had Undertaker never have came to the WWE their would not be a Kane. Kane's character used every move (With some of his own) mannerisms and everything. Kane was and is basically Undertaker.2 But he's done it so well, its ok. Because he's good. MJ wasn't created to be like Scottie Pippen.
Glenn Jacobs is a different kind of wrestler than Mark Calaway. Kane and Undertaker are both legends, but different types and they contrast each other so well despite playing such similar and connected characters. There's no way Undertaker would abandon his character so completely to give such an open and honest interview because he lives and breathes kayfabe, he's almost from the old-school era when kayfabe was _literally_ life and death. He's probably a perfectly nice guy, but he can't _be_ one like Glenn can because he's the fuckin' Undertaker, he ain't "nice". They're both on the top of the list of loyal company men, but Glenn is unassuming and modest and has allowed Kane to always be a pillar of the company but never a real superstar, no matter how much he may have deserved it, and unquestioningly did his job no matter how hard it was (Katie Vick anyone?). Undertaker, while just as loyal (it's the reason Vince basically made him the leader of the locker room; say what you like about Vince, he appreciates loyalty) is a man who led from the front because he was one of the best and made the most of the responsibility that came with his power; it's why he was able to get away with threatening to kick Vince's door down after the Montreal Screwjob and saying he'd quit if Vince didn't apologise to Bret Hart for it. Kane and the Undertaker are similar, but different and it's fascinating to look at them together and compare them.
Kane is SO well spoken. I always thought by the mid 2000s, the Kane charachter had run it's course. It's a shame he didn't become 'Corporate Kane' earlier becausehe could've done great PR for the company.
No other wrestler underestimates himself as much this guy. He talks everyone else up, and acts as if his character was just lucky to be there for the ride. He doesn't realize how great he actually is.
Absolute *legend.* The scriptwriters today are idiots, they make childish stories. Kane speaks the truth about the Attitude era, how those were the best days of Wrestling ^^ Wrestlemania 30 was an embarrassment.
beastly georgiades agree but no usa title match and no ic titles match wow when back then you needed to get those champions to get to the wwe and wrold titles wwe sucks now and wrestlemania 30 was boring the only good thing was daniel bryan winning
I feel like Kane is being soooooooo underused. Of course his wrestling is no longer at the level it was back then, he could be a great part timer. Story wise he is Taker's brother, there is a lot they can do. Vengence on Lesnar would be a cool idea IMO.
Randy Savage What are you talking about, this is just Kane acting like human, after the cameras were off he tombstoned them all he burned that place to the ground.
I wonder if Kane is considered a locker room leader. Nobody ever talks about Kane's longevity or his commitment to WWE through the years but it's never mentioned.
The only reason they don't is because Undertaker's been there longer. But he's wrapping up, so Kane will have been there the longest when Taker's done.
***** Taker is still with the company... He has been since November 1990, that's almost 24 years... Kane debuted in October 1997, that's almost 17 years... Kane has been there longer then active wrestler besides Taker and HHH and is the only who competes on a consistent basis... Kane is so awesome and got stuck with so many bad storyline, but he persevered and made the most out of it...
Still my number one, but it hurts to see how they slowly brought kane down from what could of been another undertaker type legend, but he'll always be a legend to me. and he should of been the one to end the streak and gone on to become the whc one last time (and for more than a day...)
Soulware3D YEP! Cos he was Taker's younger brother and often bore a grudge against him, but at least he beat Taker once in a heavyweight champ (wwe champ?) match to retain the title.
You are absolutely right.The way kane was booked after unmasking is just unacceptable.Just look at the way they booked undertaker and made him a legend.Nevertheless kane will always remain a legend for me.
He's a cool guy. He lives in Johnson City just a few miles from me. I've seen him around town quite a few times. He is very down to earth and will take a few minutes to shoot the shit with you.
It would've been epic at wrestlemania 30 if Kane returned with his attitude era attire for one night and standing in the ring with the rock, stone cold and hulk hogan.
He is so freaking Humble. How was he even able to pull exactly opposite character? He's the only character who could connect with the audience without showing face and without saying a word.
'Without the Undertaker there would be no Kane' I'm very glad there is a Kane and the Undertaker. Kane deserves a Hall of Fame spot in the next 5 years
I had the chance to interview him a few years ago on the radio and like all of the other WWE talent I've been fortunate enough to work with, he was one of the genuinely nicest people you'll ever meet. He was gracious enough to let me take him out of character and we discussed economics and some of the other things people generally don't know about him. Great guy.
Without a doubt Kane is the most humble superstar in WWE history. Always willing to give credit to others, never wanting to be the main guy, putting people over consistently and always being the constant professional. To stay around for over 17 years is no small feat. That is a true testament to how incredible of a performer he is. For sure, a first ballot hall of famer
I've always liked Kane. I wanted to see him have a World Champ match based on his brutality in the ring. I liked his ring gear too. Red and black was fitting for Kane.
It's weird seeing the Big Red Machine be the bashful, gracious and down-to-earth man you see in this interview. Just goes to show his ability as a performer to reinvent himself when he's in the ring.
+666deadman1988 I hear Andre the giant was similar. Seems like half of all big guys are gentle giants. Of course the other half are dicks but hey thats life.
This. Taker is shy kind smart and bashful outside the ring. Hard to believe that until you see it. Look up the video where he meets a dying fan. So so sweet.
then who the fuck do u consider the number one actor then dumbass ive seen the rock in a lot of movies in 2013 more then ive seen anybody else just saying
Pathetic that they didn't make the Kane character more legendary. He deserved so much more. He was always at the top, just to get knocked off. 1 WWF Championship. 1 World Championship. Are you serious? F*cking Khali held the World Title once! He's been the WWE's punching bag for YEARS now.
I've never heard any wrestler criticise or insult Kane or Taker. Wrestlers love Taker because he gets people in-line in the locker room and protects rookies; they love Kane because he's always willing to put over young or new wrestlers and shows nothing but respect to his colleagues. Two of the most menacing wrestlers in history, also two of the nicest.
It’s strange I just saw his normal interviews outside of the ring and I’m amazed how nice of a guy he really is. It’s just awesome that this super nice can can kick your ass!
it really upset me during the undertaker hhh feud when they said they were the last 2 of a dying breed. when kane was the only one of them still working full time
I love watching these guys talk outside of kayfab where you get to know them as a person, and a majority of the time you find out that they're actually some of the coolest people out there.
One of my absolute favorite things about Kane is that while Kane is one of the biggest, meanest, most evil and at times eccentric Characters in WWE History (not to mention one of the best), Glenn Jacobs, Kane the PERSON, is straight up, like... Boring. I find that hilarious. He's that guy that tucks his T Shirt in & has really good table manners, & for some reason to me that's just really funny & makes him even that much better
He looks like a big goofball, such a contrast to his character and a true testament to a great entertainer! So humble too, what a man and a living legend.
Kane is such a class act. His size and all you'd think he'd be very one track. But you know? I'd totally have a drink with that lad. Hes as much a legend as any other. And think, how long hes been with the company and wrestling.
This is why I enjoy Cooperate Kane so much, much like I enjoyed the Undertaker's American Badass. I enjoy the performers more when they play characters closer to their real personalities and who they are away from the arena.
i would have never expected such a calm and kind responses from him before... makes me respect wwe for the business that it is than for the "pro" wrestling part of it
When Kane smiles his cheeks... seem like they're portruding and a turning a little reder than the rest of his face. I find it funny, that Kane, the Big Red Machine, one of the most brutal characters in WWE who set people on fire has these cute little rosy, cartoony cheek like he's right out of a cartoon from the 40's.
Interesting that both Daniel Bryan and Edge acknowledged Glenn Jacobs (Kane) in their retirement speeches. Goes to show the difference between the actual wrestler and fictional character as well as the distinction between the fictional and realities of wrestling.
The last 21 WrestleManias have all ended with The Undertaker winning and you mean to tell me that some people are calling Kane out for "spoiling the end result" of Undertaker's match with Brock Lesnar? Really, people?
