The Undertaker repeatedly said throughout the documentary that the man behind the Kane character, Glenn Jacobs, is a “great human being”.

But, as Bruce Prichard often says, there is such a thing as being “too nice” in the wrestling business, and that is the problem that Kane had in the 1990s after he found himself without any direction as a character following his short-lived stints as Dr. Isaac Yankem and Fake Diesel.

Kane was happy to portray any character that was given to him in the early stages of his career – something that The Undertaker felt held him back.

“Glenn was a really nice guy, scary, could rip your head off without blinking an eye, probably, but a genuinely nice human being. That’s great but sometimes in this business, and especially in that era, you had to be able to stand up for yourself and you had to have a bit of a**hole in you. By the time that Kane came along, I think he had realised that and he knew that it was his last chance.”

‘Taker also mentioned that Vince McMahon tried to unleash Kane’s aggressive side by telling him that he needed to be more of an “a**hole”.
