What If WWE brings back the old personas of Superstars?

#3. Kane as Isaac Yankem DDS

Isaac Yankem could be fun for a novelty return.

Kane is one of WWE’s most iconic characters. After The Undertaker had already beaten the odds, surviving past the shelf life of most monster heels with supernatural gimmicks by lasting a decade - his spin-off character - little brother Kane, exceeded expectations as well.

While Kane would naturally be an opponent and partner who frequently orbited the Dead Man, the Big Red Machine enjoyed a distinguished career in his own right, including world title reigns and PPV main events that had nothing to do with The Undertaker.

The man behind the Kane character didn’t always seem like he was on a Hall of Fame path, though. Earlier on, he played a few different gimmicks for WWE, and most memorably - Jerry Lawler’s evil dentist, Isaac Yankem.

It wouldn’t make any sense at all for Yankem to return on a full-time basis. However, now that the real man is the mayor of Knox County, and well past his physical prime to boot, a one-off appearance in the dentist gimmick could be fun for a surprise berth in the Royal Rumble, an anniversary show or another nostalgic episode of weekly TV.
