Kane is not a wrestler that anyone would think could ever not be successful. With his 7 foot tall frame, and his agility and power inside the ring, Kane aka Glenn Jacobs is everything anyone could want in the early 1990’s as a wrestler.

Except, Kane did not really find success until much later. He competed in USWA and WCW is short matches and while his talent was evident he did not appear to be much of a threat. He appeared as the ‘Christmas Creature’ and as Unabomb.

When he first came to WWE things did not really change for Kane. He was given the gimmick of being Jerry Lawler’s private dentist Isaac Yankem. After Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left WWE to join the ranks of WCW, Kane would portray face Diesel. None of these gimmicks were very popular and Kane was not over.

Fast forward to 1997. Kane received the gimmick that made him famous as the Big Red Machine, and WWE slowly built to his debut as the Undertaker’s monstrous younger brother. He would make his debut by interfering in Undertaker’s Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels by tearing down the cell door with his bare hands. From that point there was no looking back as Kane became the monster WWE fans know and love as a Multiple time champion.
