The Undertaker and Kane were brothers beyond the business

#5 The Undertaker selflessly invested himself in Kane’s storylines

One of the most interesting things about the early days of the friendship between The Undertaker and Kane is the former’s investment in everything that concerned his kayfabe brother.

Ever since Kane made his debut, Undertaker always ensured that the creative have good plans for him. Even when The Phenom was not involved in Kane’s feuds, he still made it a point to see that the storylines were compelling and did justice to Kane’s gimmick.

“Back then everyone was interested in protecting their spot often at the expense of new guys. That was never the case with Mark. He wanted to help the new guys along. I would never have been able to have the career that I had without him. He had always been an advocate for me.”

Kane revealed that unlike other top Superstars in the company, The Undertaker never used him as a stepping stone. Instead, he bent over backwards to ensure Kane was pushed in the right manner.

He would often talk to Vince McMahon about suitable storylines for Kane, and often used his creative influence to keep his brother away from mediocre narrations. Undertaker proved to be a great mentor for Kane, and the latter had nothing but respect for the Phenom.
