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

#4 Kane and Undertaker’s real-life bond

Kane and Undertaker acted like brothers in real life as well

As Brothers of Destruction, Kane and The Undertaker dominated the WWE roster for longer than one can remember. From being at each other’s throats to having each other’s back, these two superstars epitomized a brotherly bond together. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they both have acted like real-life brothers on more than one occasion.

The Undertaker always liked Kane and rooted for his kayfabe brother backstage. He involved himself in Kane’s storylines to ensure that the latter is being booked well. On one occasion, he even wrestled with a broken ankle because he had to put Kane over in a match.

“I remember Mark’s hips and back were really bothering him. After the match, I saw him collapse on the stairs and get right back up. You would have never known he was in so much pain during the match. Another night in Houston, Texas, which is Mark’s hometown, and he had some of his family there."

"We’re having a match, and he’d broken his ankle a few days before at TV. I don’t think we knew his ankle was broken at this point, and we’re trying to have this match, but he can barely move, so I’m trying to move around him. Despite the fact that he was in a lot of pain, he tried to get me as over as he possibly could.”

Kane often sought advice from The Undertaker in both his personal and professional life. The latter also went above and beyond to take special care of his kayfabe younger brother. Thus, it wasn’t a surprise when Kane got emotional after The Undertaker announced his WWE Hall of Fame induction. No one can script a better ending to his illustrious career.
