One of the most recognizable stars in WWE history, Kane certainly made a statement during his debut.

Appearing at the In Your House: Bad Blood event in 1997, the Big Red Machine would demolish his brother The Undertaker, handing Shawn Michaels the victory in the first Hell in a Cell match.

Instantly a huge star, it was only a matter of time before Kane went up against WWF Champion 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, which he did at King of the Ring 1998.

Promising to set himself on fire if he came up short, Kane certainly had a lot to lose, though Mr. McMahon gave the masked man the edge, making the title match first blood.

Kane was able to win, though his reign lasted just one day, and even their pay per view match was overshadowed by Mick Foley flying from the Cell structure earlier that night.
