There will never be another WWE Superstar like Kane

#8 Kane was often victimized backstage with hilarious pranks

Kane and Christian shared an epic bond in WWE

It is difficult to imagine playing pranks on Kane owing to his towering presence. However, in reality, he was one of the easiest targets for pranks amongst WWE Superstars every time they were on the road. They would often play jokes on him for his response, but Kane was often too sweet to say anything harsh. Once, they purposely ordered a horrible breakfast for him, but he quietly ate the whole thing instead of complaining.

AEW Superstar Christian especially loved tormenting Kane backstage with pranks when they worked together in WWE. The two were often involved in feuds on screen. Christian always found a way or other to trouble Kane, and the latter had to wait for his opportunities to deliver a chokeslam. Kane was even quoted saying:

"I don’t like Christian; I’ve never liked Christian. One time I was walking through the Denver airport, and I saw Christian, and we talked a little bit, and he was like, ‘Have you had anything to eat?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I just had a burrito,’ and he punches me in the stomach and then just runs away. That is Christian. So anytime I had the opportunity to chokeslam Christian I took advantage of it."

Not only Christian, but The Hardy Boyz also liked to have their fun with Kane. They once stole his first-class seat on a flight, and he dragged them to the Wrestler’s Court where The Undertaker donned the role of a judge. The Deadman then ordered The Hardy Boyz to buy Kane dinner while their manager Hayes had to carry his bags the following week. Now, that’s why one likes to have an influential brother.
