There will never be another WWE Superstar like Kane

#2 Kane refused to break The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak

Kane may have hated The Undertaker at the beginning of their storyline, but in real life, The Big Red Machine has nothing but love for The Deadman. Long before Brock Lesnar broke The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak, Kane was offered a chance to do the same. However, he refused to do that to The Undertaker. In fact, when the streak did break, Kane was so furious that he left the room.

“My reaction, when I was watching, I thought the finish got messed up. I was like, ‘they’re going to restart the match or something because something got screwed up.’ They didn’t. I walked out of the room. I was literally so mad about it. I know that the streak wasn't something that anybody had ever planned, and it was just something that had kind of organically evolved, but it had become a part of WrestleMania lore at that point."

Kane will forever be grateful for everything The Undertaker did for him. Thus, he wanted to repay his kayfabe brother and denied tainting one of the best records in the pro wrestling business. Ending the streak could have added a lot more to Kane’s success in WWE, but he selflessly chose The Undertaker over additional glory.
