5 things you should know about WWE superstar Kane

#4 It was his idea to unmask

It’s always a bold move when a superstar drastically changes their appearance, and very few changes throughout the years have been quite as drastic as when Kane was forced to remove his mask in 2003.

After six years of wreaking havoc as one of WWE’s few masked performers, "The Big Red Machine" was defeated by Triple H on an episode of Raw in June 2003 and, as part of the stipulation, the character was made to reveal his face for the first time.

Speaking to The Two Man Power Trip podcast in 2015, Glenn Jacobs revealed that it was actually his idea for Kane to be unmasked.

While the decision was unpopular with many of WWE’s higher-ups at the time, Vince McMahon approved of the idea and he’s the one decision-maker who matters most.
