THAT'S GOTTA BE... THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!Glenn Thomas Jacobs (born April 26, 1967) is a Spanish-born American professional wrestler, teacher, and politician trained by Ray Candy who is best known for a stint in WWE under the name Kane. He is one of WWE's longest-tenured superstars, with the gimmick having debuted in 1997 (and having worked for WWE a number of times prior to the Kane gimmick); in Kayfabe, Kane is the half-brother of The Undertaker, with Kane's father being Undertaker's former manager Paul Bearer (the "Brothers of Destruction" shared the same mother). He was originally thought to be dead, due to a fire started by the Undertaker that also claimed the lives of his parents, before Paul Bearer brought him back. Since their initial feud, Kane and Undertaker have both teamed up and feuded again several times.Over his long, long career, Jacobs has wrestled as a shoot style wrestler (he is a Malenko Wrestling School alumni; they occasionally sent some of their wrestlers to shoot style promotion, Pro Wrestling Fujiwara-Gumi), a mad bomber (the Unabomber was A Thing at the time), a depraved dentist, and a replacement Diesel after the original jumped ship to WCW. Currently, he is most famous for wrestling as a maimed, masked slasher villain; in 2003, he went sans fards (and bald), revealing his supposed injuries from the fire were more like mental scars. Audience reaction to the makeover was mixed. In late 2011, he started wearing a mask again, but that ship had sailed, so in 2013 he switched to his "Citizen Kane" attire, symbolizing his cynical new alliance with The Authority.Kane's kayfabe history is a little... convoluted... so you can check out this special two part column on 411mania that does its best to cover Kane's kayfabe history (it even works Glenn Jacobs' gimmicks prior to Kane into the kayfabe) up to 2013.In August 2018, Jacobs was elected Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, adding to the long list of professions of the Big Red Machine. He was reelected in 2022.

comment
Became Their Own Antithesis: In the Attitude Era, he was an Anti-Hero who opposed the McMahon-Helmsley Regime alongside The Rock, Chris Jericho, and The Undertaker. In the 2010s, Kane joined The Authority, becoming "Corporate Kane" and acting as a minion to Triple H and Stephanie, turning into the sort of corporate heel that he had once opposed as a face.

The Artifact
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Like Undertaker, Kane is one of the last remaining remnants of a past era in WWE history - in Kane's case, it's the brutality of the Attitude Era and the gimmicks of the Cartoony Era of the WWF in which The Undertaker has his roots. He became an artifact as soon as Undertaker dropped his Deadman gimmick and his kayfabe and became a biker. However he was lucky enough to eventually find his niche even after that, though to do so Badass Decay ensued. Kane's MASK also qualifies as an artifact due to the fact that he wore it well past the end of the more cartoonish era of the 80s and early 90s, and the end of the Attitude Era. He has worn a number of different masks with mostly variations on a singular design that were reconstructed to make them more comfortable for Kane to wear, until his 2003 mask which was a large departure from what was then the standard design for his masks' look. (It was ultimately the fact that the mask was a source of discomfort that he was finally unmasked in 2003) His most recent mask is actually one worn by the Undertaker when he was recovering from a cracked orbital socket, repainted red to match Kane's gimmick and the colors associated with him. Which means the mask he currently wears is something of a Mythology Gag for anyone who noticed it. In one instance, the girl didn't even have to exist — that being the infamous "Katie Vick." See the Aborted Arc entry for the background. Kane's right eye, the one with the blue contact lens. In his first RAW appearance, Paul Bearer claimed that Kane was "missing an eye", implying that he was either blind in that eye or that it was a glass eye.

Darker and Edgier: Arguably the angle he's going for after his re-transformation into "The Demon" in mid-2014. He's used the Tombstone Piledriver more than he ever had for years prior (and used THREE on Daniel Bryan during one segment on an episode of Raw), and he returned to his old M.O. of kicking ass at completely unexpected times for petty reasons (or none at all). He also altered the execution of his finishers, going back to his old-school one-armed chokeslam (and using more force overall), and, sometimes, a version of the Tombstone Piledriver in which he simply lets his feet out from under him (resulting in a much quicker, and more painful looking fall), instead of being safer by kneeling slowly He used the former version during an attack on Daniel Bryan in April 2014, on the steel steps at ringside.

Genre Savvy: See All Love Is Unrequited. Kane decided he wanted nothing to do with AJ Lee which may point to an awareness that anytime he's involved himself with one of the Divas, it hasn't ended well. Of course, the fact that AJ's totally out of her gourd probably had a lot to do with it, too.

The Worf Effect: Whenever WWE wants to show off a talented new wrestler, they'll often have him go over Kane in a feud and series of matches. Because of this trope (and Kane's longevity in the business), the list of guys who have gone through Kane on their path to the top of the business is quite long.

The Giant: Though he subverts a lot of the tropes, namely being actually able to wrestle and having charisma, he really is a charismatic performer with a gimmick beyond Squash Match and No-Sell, although that was how the gimmick was played in its first few months. It is hard to come up with another 7-footer in wrestling history with equal mic skills as Kane; this may be in part because he is a Genius Bruiser in real life. Really the only other Wrestler on the same level as him is The Undertaker, and on good days, The Big Show.

Ash Face: During his first six years in the WWE, the "Big Red Monster" never appeared in public with any part of his body other than his left arm uncovered; the story was that he'd gotten caught in a fire started in his parents' funeral parlor and had barely survived, and his burns were too horrific for the sight of "normal" humans. In 2003, however, he was finally forced to remove his trademark red-and-black mask - and revealed, instead of grotesquely pitted features, a comically mild-looking Ash Face. (It was made even funnier by the Raw commentators speculating on how ugly and deformed Kane would look.)

Iron Butt Monkey: He can dish out and take grievous amounts of punishment. Throughout his career, he's been written into some of the worst angles in recent WWE history. Katie Vick comes to mind. Then there was the time he had to drive his car into the side of a tractor trailer. To illustrate this, Kane holds the dubious distinction of having "won" The Wrestling Observer Newsletter "Worst Feud of the Year" award more than anyone else, at seven timesnote (In '02 {for the Katie Vick story}, '03, '04 {for the raping Lita story}, '07, '08, '10, and '12.). To put that in perspective, the next most wins on that list is Hulk Hogan, with three.

Psycho for Hire
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_2d6f00e4
comment
Psycho for Hire: A fairly common tactic for heels, especially heel GM's, is to put Kane in a match against whoever their Face enemy is (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Chris Jericho have all done this), or threaten to put the Face's girlfriend in a match with Kane if they don't comply with their demands (both Eric Bischoff and John Laurinaitis have pulled this one). Kane doesn't do it out of any sense of loyalty to the heel in the storyline, or even for his paycheck; he does it because he's bored (it's usually when he doesn't have a feud of his own going on) and wants to hurt someone. Though more than a few of these guys have found that trying to treat Kane as their own personal attack dog can come back to bite them in the ass.

Hidden Depths: Both in and out of character. As Kane, there's absolutely no way anyone would have guessed that the silent, masked giant who debuted at 1997's Bad Blood would go on to become one of WWE's best mic workers, and then eventually transform into an articulate, suit-wearing, Director of Operations underneath Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Out of character, it's downplayed— no one has ever accused Glenn Jacobs of being a dummy, but he not only has a degree in English literature from before his pro wrestling career, but has gone on to become active in politics, was the last wrestler standing during a WWE-themed episode of The Weakest Link, and makes a damn good weatherman.

comment
Parts Unknown: While The Undertaker is generally billed from Death Valley, where Kane is supposed to be "from" has never been acknowledged, as only his weight and name, along with whatever his Tag Team/Power Stable affiliation may be at the time and any titles he is holding at a given time, are ever announced. His profile on WWE's website doesn't even list a "hometown" for him. As Unabomb in SMW he was billed from "The Land of the Giants." As Doomsday in Jerry Lawler's USWA in Memphis, he was billed from "The Wastelands." Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The Ascension have also been billed from "The Wastelands."

Amplifier Artifact/Split Personality: The mask seems to be played like this in 2013-2014. During his tenure with The Authority, he appears to be able to take up and discard the mask at will. His masked self is much more brutal and dangerous, although his suit-wearing 'corporate' side is nothing to take lightly, and seems to be much more reasoned.

He Lampshaded this in a backstage promo with AJ Lee. He admits to being a monster who feeds on destruction and chaos, but even he finds her to be "mentally unstable."

Arch-Enemy: The Undertaker and Triple H most notably. Edge is another good contender. If not for his short lived tenure, Gene Snitsky would also qualify. What makes these four stand out is that while Kane is capable of making any feud he's in personal for his enemy, these guys made it personal for Kane. For reference? Lower down on the page, under Unnecessary Roughness? Electro-torturing Shane'o'Mac's testicles was in no way personal for Kane. He just did that for kicks. What about Pete Rose? The Shield, an animosity shared with his tag-team partner, are one of his newest arch enemies. Even after he joined The Authority. He and The Shield still don't get along. This proved to be a problem later, as a combination of this personal animosity and Loose Lips eventually cost The Authority The Shield's loyalty. As Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS, Bret Hart.note (Bret had defeated Jerry Lawler at King of the Ring 1995 in a "Kiss My Foot Match", that saw Bret shove Lawler's own foot in his, Lawler's, mouth, thus making it necessary for him to get help from his dentist. Lawler's dentist, Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS, was so disgusted by what kissing Bret's foot did to Lawler's mouth that he felt the need to enter the WWF so he could take revenge on Bret personally. Yes, this was a real storyline.) As Unabomb in SMW, The Rock 'n' Roll Express Braun Strowman in late 2017.

Recurring Riff
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_3bbf3fef
comment
Recurring Riff: In '97, he first appeared as Kane with this theme. Said theme was updated in 2000, with the tune completely retained. In 2002, when he switched to Finger Eleven's Slow Chemical, which again, kept the same tune. He kept this as his theme until late 2008. So that's eleven years of that riff recurring. His 2008 theme "Man on Fire" still retained elements from his original theme, though, but without the guitar riff. But the guitar riffs returned with the re-masking in 2011, by mixing them back into "Man on Fire".

Foregone Conclusion: It was pretty easy to guess who would win that first Inferno Match, given that Kane's (then) full-body costume could be padded and insulated to protect him from the flames (whereas the Undertaker's comparably skimpy ring gear would have left him seriously injured had he tried the same stunt).

Combat Pragmatist: Most of Kane's strikes target the throat/windpipe. Also, on more than one occasion of an opponent trying to come off the top rope, Kane simply kicks the ropes, and whoever happens to be on the turnbuckle at the time loses their footing... and usually lands very painfully. Given that his primary finisher is the chokeslam... there's a certain sense of psychology involved.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In most backstage skits, the wrestlers will never acknowledge that the camera man is right in front of them filming them, even if they're discussing top secret plans. Kane is the exception, usually giving a knowing glare to the camera at the end of the skits. He now does most of his promos without an interviewer, backstage in a dark, moodily-lit area and talking directly to the audience.

Plot Hole: Paul Bearer claiming to be Kane's "father" created the first problem in Kane's backstory. Paul originally claimed that he first met Kane when he went to work at Kane and Taker's family's funeral home. The only way for all of that to be true would have been if Paul hadn't been told by the mother that he had a "son," and they never resolved that part.

Big Brother Instinct: Though he's younger than Taker, he can be very protective of him, whether he's saving him or defending his honor. Though his arm was severely damaged by Power Trip, Kane still came down to the ring to save Taker when the duo ganged up on him & hit him with a sledgehammer. During Summerslam 98, Taker is having a brutal match with Austin. Kane comes down to ringside to help Taker, but the latter ordered him to go back. As noted above, when John Cena insults Undertaker's legacy & manhood, Kane promptly came down to deliver a brutal chokeslam. Triple H attacked Taker backstage, tipping over his bike while he was still on it, causing his leg to be trapped under said bike. HHH threatened to end Taker with a chair but retreated when he saw Kane charging after him. Kane then tried to help Taker, asking if he was all right & moving the bike from his leg. But then Big Show attacked. A small moment occurs when a vengeful Taker is waiting on HHH in the parking lot to repay him for the above assault. Kane came out to ask what Taker was doing and when Taker made it clear he wanted HHH, Kane straightened his glove & told Taker he'd wait with him. But again, Taker sends him inside.

Unwitting Pawn: Ended up in the middle of the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan feud because each of them has used Kane's Hair-Trigger Temper to do damage against the other. Eventually Kane caught onto it and beat the hell out of both of them, temporarily putting himself into the entire affair involving them, the WWE Championship and AJ Lee. Averted in his latest heel turn as the Director of Operations for the Authority, where he willingly (for reasons never fully explored) submits to The Authority.

Clue of Few Words: In the first half of 2006, the big mystery for WWE was why Kane went nuts whenever he heard "May 19th". Kane would later reveal that this was the date of the fire that turned him into what he is. note The real reason for the date was that May 19, 2006 was the release date of his movie See No Evil and WWE wanted fans to remember the release date.

Redemption Demotion: He was never quite as threatening as a face. While his initial face run as Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds was still threatening and believable on some level, as time went on he progressively got defanged, to the point where he could tag team with The Hurricane and actually fit right in. Although he arguably had his strongest push (prior to his 2010 title run) while he was a babyface in 2002; he held the Intercontinental and Tag Team titles simultaneously, winning the latter in a Fatal Four-Way Tornado Tag TLC match... without a partner (The Hurricane had been attacked backstage before the match). Then the Katie Vick angle happened, and well...

All Love Is Unrequited
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_7a82c3d2
comment
All Love Is Unrequited: An ongoing theme with Kane's character is his desire for a female companion and family. Perhaps the first hint of emotion Kane ever showed was his concern for Chyna after accidentally injuring her in 1999. Later he went so far as to blackmail Lita to bear his child and marry him, then harassed Kelly Kelly, and then stalked Eve Torres during his feud with Cena in order to get Cena to give in to the hate. Ironically, when A.J. Lee actually shows interest in him, he's completely befuddled as to what's going on. Though this might be a little bit of Genre Savvy kicking in; it's possible he suspects her of Obfuscating Insanity and is trying to figure out what her game is. In Kane's own words, "I'm a monster. I wear a mask. My only source of pleasure is eviscerating people. And even I find you mentally unstable." Although, in all fairness, he also said he "Doesn't do relationships," which clearly isn't true. Additionally, he seemed to veer into "It's not you, it's me" territory when telling AJ "This may come as a shock to you, but I'm not exactly boyfriend material." The infamous Katie Vick angle also had its roots in this, with Triple H claiming that Kane snapped into a murderous rage when Katie rejected him.

Bullying a Dragon
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_7eb73553
comment
Bullying a Dragon/Wrong Genre Savvy: Sure, Kane's a monster in his own right, but his constant threats against The Shield reeked of this. First of all, the Shield's a three-man group - but not just ANY three-man group... a three-man group whose members have individually and collectively beaten down just about the entire top end of the WWE roster at one point or another. Among other things, they pinned John Cena during a weekly television match and put The Undertaker through the announce table, which was the last anyone heard of him for the better part of a year. Hell, Kane himself had been on the wrong end of a couple of beatdowns from them. They don't scare easily, and are even harder to control. And yet Kane didn't seem to remember any of the above when he spent about a week or two constantly mashing The Shield's collective buttons. Thus, when they turned and beat the crap out of him on the 3/17/2014 RAW, it wasn't exactly shocking.

comment
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Particularly after Paul Bearer abandoned him to rejoin Undertaker in 1998 and attempted to have him committed to an insane asylum, Kane's character was portrayed as this. He's also done a promo about how much he loves the holidays and his family - he even said he wasn't a monster and that he's tired of being seen as an outsider - and the audience booed the entire thing (mainly for his "devil's favourite demon" claim). Really puts his angle with Edge in a new light. Everybody who Kane gets attached to or gets close to seems to turn on him. Chyna turned on him. X-Pac, the best friend Kane ever had and the guy who helped Kane feel 'human', turned on him. His girlfriend Tori turned on him to align herself with X-Pac. You can understand why he'd end up bitter and lashing out at a world that doesn't seem fair to him.

Self-Immolation: In the first promo he ever cut in the gimmick, on the June 22, 1998 Raw, he threatened to do this if he didn't beat WWE World Heavyweight Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the title in the First Blood Match at King of the Ring 1998.note Kane won when Taker interfered. This was the same night as the famous Taker-Mankind Hell in a Cell Match, which was the first step toward his official heel turn and reunion with Paul Bearer in October, culminating in the debut of the Ministry of Darkness on the January 11, 1999 Raw.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to The Undertaker's Blue, which matches their Color Motif. When he was paired with The Big Show he played a stoic Blue to Show's Boisterous Bruiser Red. Blue Oni to Daniel Bryan's Red as well. While Daniel Bryan has a Hair-Trigger Temper that can be set off at a moment's notice, Kane's anger is a bit more of a focused slow burn, which, if anything, makes him even more dangerous.

Tiered by Name: Ever since relinquishing his mask (the first time) to Stephanie McMahon and Triple H and becoming "Director of Operations" within The Authority, the people around him, in kayfabe and out of it, have taken to referring to the suit-and-tie version of the character as "Corporate Kane," and the mask-wearing version as "'The Demon' Kane." Unsurprisingly, "'The Demon' Kane" is much more capable and willing to kick ass (but this doesn't mean that "Corporate Kane" can't hold his own at the same time), and is far less stable and controllable.

His character, before he began to speak on his own, had shades of Jason Voorhees. An angry, less-than-talkative, masked giant who kicks whatever ass is in front of him and is known to sit straight up when it looks like he's down and out. Basically, give Jason fire-based abilities and make him a wrestler; now you've got Kane. Additionally, Kane is probably (it hasn't been confirmed officially) named after the Biblical character Cain, but it may be less than coincidence that the man who may be Jason Voorhees' most well-known portrayer is named Kane Hodder.

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: His character and the way he's booked tend to make him this. As a heel in particular, he'll often show up completely without warning and either attack everyone in sight, or go after someone specific, only making his intentions known after the fact. He started his feud with John Cena like this (especially glaring, as the guy who had put him out of action was right there in the ring). And then on SmackDown 3/2/12 he started a feud with Randy Orton in the exact same way.

This has reached ludicrous levels as of March 2011, he did nothing to turn face... but gets cheered by the fans because not only is he teaming with The Big Show, but he is fighting The Corre. The 7/22/11 SmackDown pretty much sums it up. Before his Street Fight with Randy Orton, Kane cuts a promo talking about how he is disturbed by his showing glimpses of humanity in the past few months and that he was going to exorcise it out of him against Orton. Sounds like a heel turn, right? Well, after Orton triumphs in a half-hour-long Street Fight, Kane offers his hand out of respect. Surely, Kane's gonna use the opportunity to get a post-match drop on Orton, right? Nope, he actually shakes his hand in a sportsmanlike manner with no turn to be found, before being ambushed by Mark Henry, another man familiar with the face/heel door.

 Kane (Wrestling) / int_99ddfcec
comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Kayfabe-wise, Kane sent Matt Hardy to the hospital and terrorized Lita in a forced marriage, eventually leading her into the arms of Edge. Having lost his girlfriend through no fault of his own, Matt kinda lost his shit — and more importantly lost any solid job security he had within WWE. After leaving the company and going through sordid times in and out of TNA along with his brother, finding love for real in Reby Sky and having a son with her, winning and losing world championship gold and falling out with Jeff over his methods, he eventually discovered his BROKEN brilliance. Had Kane not forced his way between Matt and Lita, Edge wouldn't have had his opening, and the path to becoming wrestling's most popular madman in 2016 would've never opened for Matt, although he introduced that gimmick outside of WWE.

Badass in a Nice Suit: Orson Welles ain't got sh*t on this.◊ Made it very clear in reminding a disgruntled Randy Orton that while Kane may be Triple H's new "director of operations" and wear a suit and tie, he has no problem handling matter the old-fashioned way. He's arguably more fearsome in a way because his "director of operations" role gives him onscreen booking power and a variety of minions at his disposal, as well as the ability to book himself into matches if none of the above works or he wants his villainy to have a more personal touch. Oh, and he exhibits the same bad temper and sociopathy.

Finishing Move: Like his half-brother, Kane's chief finishers are the Chokeslam and the Tombstone Piledriver. In this regard, Kane actually has something of a one-up on The Undertaker in the fact that, at Kane's physical peak, he was capable of using only one arm to execute a Chokeslam. He's had a couple others over the years. During the days of the Brothers of Destruction, Undertaker tried to teach Kane the Last Ride, and Kane just couldn't figure it out. He did adapt a deliberately sloppy falling powerbomb into a sort of cradle as a finisher for a bit, though - this move was immortalized in the WWE Smackdown vs Raw series as the "Kane Powerbomb." As Isaac Yankem D.D.S, the DDS. It was just a DDT.

No-Sell: Possibly the only man in wrestling history to no-sell a kiss. AJ leapt onto him and started going to town, and Kane, in response, stood there, motionless, even as she kissed him. Once she was done he said Screw This, I'm Outta Here, tagged in Daniel Bryan, and left the ring calmly without saying a word. He also plays this straight, with his most famous routine involving him getting beaten to the point of laying down... then calmly sitting back up and giving a Death Glare to his opponent, all but saying "Ding-ding, Round Two."

Jack of All Stats: One of the prime reasons he's so well respected in the wrestling community is his wealth of skills in different areas. In the ring, he has the look of a power wrestler (read: he's huge), and even at his advanced age, may be one of the strongest guys on the WWE roster (see Charles Atlas Superpower). But he's also extremely agile for his size, still uses a top-rope diving clothesline as a signature move to this day, and can also be a striker and dip into Garbage Wrestler when a brawl is required. In terms of his promo skills, he's been a Large Ham and he's been the Voiceless. He can be deadly serious, comic, The Comically Serious, or anything in between.

Retcon: Kane's backstory has been rewritten multiple times. Most notable was the reveal that he was never really disfigured at all. Although this created several plot holes in and of itself, it also solved the "plot hole" of his diminishing ring gear and Suddenly Speaking. As a result, it's probably easiest if you go by the character's original premise, Undertaker's insane younger brother who supposedly died in a fire but actually survived and came back for revenge, with other acts of mayhem and destruction along the way. Kane's marriage to Lita was technically retconned due to the whole Matt Hardy / Lita / Edge triangle storyline. They've recently removed it from Canon Discontinuity, probably because Matt's been released and blackballed from the company.

Berserk Button: Kane has started feuds over the smallest things, such as when he got spilled coffee on him by Chris Jericho. May 19th qualifies as well.note (In-Universe, Kane said that this was the date (the year, of course, will never be known) of the fire that turned him into what he is. May 19, 2006 was also the release date of his movie See No Evil.) In general, not doing anything to make him angry is a wise move. In real life, don't mention Isaac Yankem to him. He hung up on an interviewer for it. And as of 2018, insulting The Undertaker and his legacy is a serious no-no, as he Chokeslammed John Cena for doing just that.

Physical Scars, Psychological Scars: He was originally intended to have this, being scarred by the fire that killed his family, but the makeup didn't work out when the mask came off, so now he just has the psychological ones.

I Have No Son!: Paul Bearer has disowned Kane for the most part, siding against him at WrestleMania XX; when he returned in September 2010 prior to Hell in a Cell, he sided with Undertaker again. This, however, did not last. Maybe he sees Kane as his son after all.

Badass Bookworm: Jacobs earned a BA in English Literature from Northeast Missouri State University and has been frequently remarked by his fellow wrestlers to be an extremely intelligent man with a voracious appetite for reading, to the point where Steve Austin once joked on his podcast that Jacobs "must've read every damn book on the planet." He proved this when he appeared as Kane on The Weakest Link and won, and quite handily, at that

Dumbass No More: For the first year or two, Kane was portrayed as somewhat gullible and naive, frequently being used and betrayed by everyone from Paul Bearer and Undertaker, to the Corporation and finally X-Pac and Tori; on top of this, he barely spoke and was often insulted for his supposed lack of intellect even by his allies. He gradually became more cynical and devious during the year 2000 as well as more articulate, and afterwards-particularly after his unmasking- was generally portrayed as a very dangerous Genius Bruiser who would play nightmarish mind games with his opponents knew how to fight intelligently, eventually even becoming Corporate Kane and being trusted with high-level administration duties.

Made it very clear in reminding a disgruntled Randy Orton that while Kane may be Triple H's new "director of operations" and wear a suit and tie, he has no problem handling matter the old-fashioned way. He's arguably more fearsome in a way because his "director of operations" role gives him onscreen booking power and a variety of minions at his disposal, as well as the ability to book himself into matches if none of the above works or he wants his villainy to have a more personal touch. Oh, and he exhibits the same bad temper and sociopathy.

Red Filter of Doom: His entrance, in which the lights in the arena go red. Notably, when he first debuted the lights would stay red for the entirety of his matches. Sometimes when he's backstage he's still accompanied by red lighting. When he remasked in 2014, his promos all had the red lighting remain on, until he was interrupted by someone. The lighting even follows him if, for example, he's on the stage during a promo, and someone else in the ring, as seen in this promo with Roman Reigns.

Lightning Bruiser: Especially when you compare to other giants, Kane has a top rope move, has done an enzuigiri, and has an awesome ring exit where he uses the ropes to flip himself over, pretty impressive for such a big guy, he's even added a low angle dropkick, to his repertoire. Keep in mind all of that is in his arsenal while past 50, being in terrific shape for a wrestler that size and that age (compared to The Undertaker, who by his mid-40s couldn't even work a half-time schedule, while Kane worked a full year-round load until his political aspirations got in the way).

Continuity Snarl: Kane's entire backstory, which eventually resulted in a novel that painstakingly attempted to reconcile all of it. This failed. Spectacularly, as next to nothing of this backstory made any sense whatsoever nor was it referenced within WWE's on-air continuity, and contained a few snarls of its own, such as placing Kane and Taker in the midwest, when their parents (or in this case Kane and Taker's mother, as they have different fathers in the storyline) are supposedly buried on LONG ISLAND.

Expy: His character, before he began to speak on his own, had shades of Jason Voorhees. An angry, less-than-talkative, masked giant who kicks whatever ass is in front of him and is known to sit straight up when it looks like he's down and out. Basically, give Jason fire-based abilities and make him a wrestler; now you've got Kane. Additionally, Kane is probably (it hasn't been confirmed officially) named after the Biblical character Cain, but it may be less than coincidence that the man who may be Jason Voorhees' most well-known portrayer is named Kane Hodder. Also to Halloween. As stated above: an angry, less-than-talkative masked giant who kicks whatever ass is in front of him and is known to sit straight up when he is down and out, but with the added touch of being an unstoppable supernatural force that really wants to destroy his sibling. This was taken a step further in an article for RAW Magazine that talked about Kane before his debut that used an actual picture of Michael Myers from the movies, likely since it wasn't clear what Kane was going to look like when he actually debuted. Jim Cornette has claimed that he created the character of Kane (before he was "super heroed") and based the character on Michael Myers.

Popularity Power: Despite not being as popular as Undertaker, Kane remains respected amongst fans, likely due in part to his association with Undertaker (and, in some circles, because of his "company man" image - in that he takes the crappiest angles and runs with them, without complaint, for the good of WWE). Also due to the fact that it's hard to find a nicer wrestler outside the ring, and that he does not seem to have an ego in an ego-centric business. Like Shawn Michaels, he's stated he preferred the world title be held by younger guys who would carry the company in the future than a veteran like himself, who was already firmly entrenched in the company and fanbase (although his loyalty and popularity was finally rewarded with a world title run in the second half of 2010). When Kane cashed in the Money In The Bank briefcase against World Champion Rey Mysterio (one of the most popular wrestlers on the roster), he got a largely positive response to his title win. It was Kane's first major title win since his one-day WWE Title reign in 1998 (twelve years earlier).

 Kane (Wrestling) / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: Came close to attacking Sable on the March 17, 1998 Raw, after her match with Luna Vachon went to a no-contest. Sable had injured her ankle and was lying helpless on the mat until Undertaker showed up on the stage. Averted, though implied as part of the Katie Vick angle as a cause of her death; this was the angle where Triple H falsely claimed Kane had killed Katie as psychological warfare. He once gave Linda McMahon a Tombstone Piledriver onto the stage. And then about a couple years later, he did it to Lita. Came close to doing this to Kelly Kelly during a short-lived 2008 angle, whom he thought was flirting with him. He kidnapped her and sequestered her to a back room to interrogate her as to who she was seeing, she claimed she was with The Miz, in order to protect Randy Orton, who in actually was only using her. The angle didn't go anywhere beyond a match on Raw. As of 2012, not much has changed. Kane has made moves for Eve Torres on a couple of occasions, but WWE being PG, someone always showed up to rescue her at the last moment. During the Attitude Era, he attacked Tori and Chyna. As far as Chyna goes, he grabbed her neck preparing for a chokeslam on a RAW before the Royal Rumble which would have been the first time she would have been totally owned by a wrestler, but was stopped by Triple H before the move could be completed. Steve Austin got the honor of hitting her first.

Complexity Addiction: In contrast to his no-nonsense (if sadistic) in-ring style, Kane has been both the architect and victim of some of the most ridiculous and convoluted schemes in the history of the company, mostly either as a result of him being an Ax-Crazy psycho with a Hair-Trigger Temper or an attempt to exploit it, examples ranging from his own lengthy campaign of vengeance against the man who took out The Undertaker... only to admit in the end that he did it himself; on the flip-side, the infamous Katie Vick angle where D-X attempted to convince him and the fans that he had murdered a woman which got dropped after crossing the line one too many times.

Unnecessary Roughness
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_f935efbf
comment
Unnecessary Roughness: Kane seemingly loves this trope, and is usually on the giving end of said Roughness. One time, he handcuffed Shane McMahon to a ring post, trapped him against the ring using the ring steps, and electrocuted Shane's testicles with a car battery. Guys, you can whimper now. He's used a rather subdued, but brutal method of incapacitating John Cena in their 2012 feud; he holds his hand over Cena's mouth and nose, suffocating him. While it doesn't look to bad to the untrained eye, for those that recognize it as an actual method of murder can find it somewhat disturbing. The first time or two, they used some Hollywood FX to have John coughing up blood the first time or two it happened. Apparently that was a bit too realistic and there were enough complaints that the fake blood (but not the hold) was dropped afterwards.

Running Gag
 Kane (Wrestling) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: His "obsession with torturing" Cincinnati Reds baseball great Pete Rose: Rose was the surprisenote (his participation had been announced but not his specific role) special guest ring announcer for the UT-Kane match at WrestleMania XIV, which was held in Boston, MA. Rose went heel on the crowd, ripping on the Boston Red Sox, making sure to work in a Bill Buckner reference.note (During Game 6 of the 1986 World Series between the Red Sox and the New York Mets, Buckner had the misfortune of not stopping a ball from rolling between his legs, allowing the Mets' Ray Knight to score the winning run. The Mets would go on to win the series.) Kane and Paul Bearer came down to no introduction and Kane Tombstoned Rose. The following year, WM was in Philadelphia. However, before the Kane vs. Triple H match, Kane was attacked by the San Diego Chicken, an advertising mascot most associated with baseball's San Diego Padres. Kane unmasked the chicken, found Rose, and Tombstoned him again. The following year, WM was in Anaheim, CA. Kane and Rikishi d. X-Pac and "Road Dogg" Jesse Jammes. After the match, Rose, appropriately, tried attacking Kane with a bat. He failed, of course. Kane chokeslammed Rose and Rikishi gave him the Stinkface, which Jim Ross compared to Rose's treatment by Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.note (Rose had been banned from baseball in 1989 by then-commissioner Bart Giamatti {yes, Paul Giamatti's dad} due to his betting on games. Selig maintained the ban until his retirement in 2015, and it continues to this day under current commissioner Rob Manfred.) Rose then guest hosted the March 22, 2010 episode of RAW, which was before WrestleMania XXVI. As his first order of business, he set up a match between Shawn Michaels and Kane, which Michaels won. Later in the night, Rose then bragged about finally getting his revenge on Kane to Christian backstage. Then as he was walking into his dressing room... Katie Vick. It's been a decade and people still bring it up from time to time.

Evil Is Petty: During his feud with John Cena in the New Tens, he repeatedly victimised Zack Ryder and Zack's girlfriend Eve Torres simply because they were friends with Cena.

The Corrupter: Kane played this role to John Cena during their 2012 feud. By brutalizing Cena and his friends, he is trying to force Cena to give into his rage and hatred. And it seems to be working; Cena was about to clock Ryder in the face on the 2/13/12 RAW after accidentally kissing Eve Torres due to trying to save her from Kane taking her away in an ambulance.
