Kane is a WWE legend in the eyes of many fans. That status was solidified when his long-time partner and kayfabe brother, The Undertaker, announced that the Big Red Machine will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Trending
Kane debuted for WWE in emphatic fashion at Badd Blood 1997 during Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker's epic Hell in a Cell match. The long-thought deceased brother of The Undertaker came to WWE to destroy the Deadman.
The feud that followed would go down as one of the best in WWE history. Kane was the perfect opponent for The Undertaker and was portrayed as the Phenom's equal.
Kane's gimmick and character was played so well and applied so effectively that he became one of WWE's most legendary Superstars.
Kane's introduction started a memorable career that will be rightly celebrated with his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. So, to commemorate Kane's latest achievement, let's look at Kane's 5 most memorable moments in WWE.
#5 Kane wins the Hardcore Championship at WrestleMania 17
At WrestleMania 17, Kane faced the Big Show and Raven in a wild and highly entertaining Triple Threat match for the Hardcore title. The trio fought all over the Houston Astrodome, using everything at their disposal to inflict damage. Rooms were destroyed, windows smashed and golf carts used as weapons.
The shots of Kane and Big Show crashing through a wall and the Big Red Machine running over Raven in the golf cart in particular were very memorable. The mayhem finished when Kane booted both men off the stage into the lighting boxes below. Kane then launched himself off the stage to drop the elbow and score the win.
The victory marked the first and only time Kane won the Hardcore title. The match at WrestleMania was manic, chaotic and great fun. It was a performance that showed Kane was willing and able to apply his trade to any type of match, situation and setting.
This adaptability would allow Kane to prosper in WWE for the years that followed.
#4 Kane wins the WWE Championship from Stone Cold Steve Austin
Kane was only a year in when he defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin at King of the Ring to capture the WWE Championship.
The Big Red Machine and the Rattlesnake clashed in a first blood match. The odds were stacked against Austin as only Kane's arm was exposed due to his full body suit and mask.
The match itself was a wild brawl that involved the Hell in a Cell, interference from both Mankind and The Undertaker and, ultimately, Austin covered in blood.
Kane looked great with the title over his shoulder. He arguably should have kept it much longer than WWE allowed. Kane would only hold the title for one day, losing it back to Austin the following night on RAW.
Despite the one-day title reign, it was an excellent achievement for the character and the man who played him. It showed that the company held Kane in high regard and planned to use him at the top of the roster moving forward.
#3 Kane joins The Undertaker to form The Brothers of Destruction
After trying to kill each other for over a year, Kane and The Undertaker joined forces to become the demonic duo known as the Brothers of Destruction.
The Undertaker and Kane will always be synonymous with one thanks to a long history involving fire, death, destruction and deceit. They put their issues aside after Vince McMahon declared the WWE Championship vacant. The decision came after they simultaneously pinned Steve Austin in a Triple Threat Match for the title at In Your House: Breakdown.
The decision angered the brothers greatly. In retaliation, they attacked the villainous McMahon and broke his leg with the steel steps. The Deadman and Kane left together, forming the Brothers of Destruction. It was a great moment and one that began the next chapter in Kane's memorable WWE career.
Teaming with his half-brother to run roughshod all over WWE was one of the most successful periods of Kane's career. The duo won the WWE Tag Team Championships twice and the WCW tag titles once.
The duo are fondly remembered by the WWE Universe to this day.
#2 Kane and Daniel Bryan attend anger management class
Kane and Daniel Bryan were bitter enemies fighting over the WWE Championship held by CM Punk. The trio clashed for the title but Punk retained with the help of Bryan's ex-girlfriend, AJ Lee.
Lee later became RAW General Manager and forced Kane and Bryan to attend anger management classes to resolve their issues.
Under the encouragement of Dr Shelby, Kane retells his shocking tale beginning from childhood to becoming the Devil's Favorite Demon.
Kane's fellow meeting members were left shaken and disturbed by the story. WWE fans, meanwhile, laughed and cheered as Kane discussed when he electrocuted Shane McMahon's testicles.
After the shellshocked Dr Shelby recovered, he suggested Kane and Bryan form a partnership. The duo teamed up to become Team Hell No. As partners, they fought and bickered every step of the way to capturing the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Kane and Bryan worked tremendously well together. They were both as effective in the ring as they were out of it as comedic performers. The anger management segments live on to this day as some of WWE's most humorous vignettes.
#1 Kane makes an explosive debut at WWE In Your House: Badd Blood
Paul Bearer dropped the bombshell that The Undertaker's brother Kane was alive. The revelation shook the Deadman to his core but he also had Shawn Michaels and a Hell in a Cell match to deal with.
The first-ever Hell in a Cell match saw The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels go through, well, hell. The match was enthralling and featured things not seen before on WWE pay-per-view.
The warriors lay beaten and destroyed as the lights went out and reilluminated the arena in an eery red glow. The organ music hit, and the Big Red Machine made his explosive debut.
Bathed in red and generating a threat not seen in WWE for years, Kane ripped off the cell door before confronting the shocked and stunned Deadman. Kane planted his brother with a Tombstone to cost him the match.
It was one of the best debuts ever in wrestling history. Kane's arrival was shocking, intriguing and impacted the WWE for the next twenty-plus years.
Kane instantly connected with the fans. He was a big mean monster that looked amazing. Every time he appeared, the WWE Universe knew that hell would follow. He was able to evolve and grow his character, changing with the times and adding new traits to his personality to remain relevant.
