8 interesting backstage secrets you didn’t know about WWE Hall of Famer Kane – Bizarre start to friendship with Daniel Bryan, big sacrifice behind the screen

#3 Last-minute decision before Kane’s unmasking in WWE

Kane has one regret about his unmasking in WWE

Kane’s unmasking will fondly be remembered as one of the most exciting segments in WWE history. The Hall of Famer recently revealed that he was extremely nervous about the unmasking and did not share the news with anyone. Kane was initially supposed to be completely bald, but Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard decided that it was better if he had half his head full of hair. Here’s what happened backstage that night:

“I actually was a little nervous, though, because I hadn’t told my wife about this, and my wife loved my long hair, and I wanted her to see it and be shocked just like everybody else, and she was. So, when I talked to her after the match, that didn't go very well.”

“And they get about halfway through, and Bruce [Prichard] goes ‘Stop! I need to show Vince,’ I should have said right then keep going, and of course, in the heat of the moment I’m like oh yeah, this is going to be awesome, and then yeah, I’m sitting there like, wait for a second, I got to go to like…Outback, with this, I got to pick my kids up at school.”

Kane felt that he had done everything he could do while staying behind the mask. He liked the mystique surrounding his gimmick and enjoyed the challenge when removing the mask exposed him to more detailed scrutiny inside the ring.
