Glenn "Kane" Jacobs appeared alongside JBL at the recent Steel City Con event for a special Q&A session where the two told a bunch of stories from their careers in WWE.
During the appearance, Kane reflected on the Imposter Kane storyline and how the wig chosen for it ended up being its' demise due to Vince McMahon not being a fan of it at all.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the appearance where he tells the story.
On the Imposter Kane wig being terrible and needing to be replaced: "In Drew’s case [Doc Gallows], it’s kind of funny because they had that short-lived Kane thing, right? That he was the imposter Kane and what happened was…So I’d gone down and seen Drew’s outfit and stuff and we’d kind of worked a little bit together before he debuted as that, down where NXT was at that time in Georgia and he’s wearing this wig and it was like a synthetic hair wig and it was terrible and I was like, I remember calling I think Johnny Laurinaitis or someone and saying, ‘It’s great but the wig’s gotta go, okay? The wig looks as fake as all get out.’"
On the wig never getting switched and how Vince hated it and ended up scrapping the angle shortly thereafter: "They didn’t switch the wig and there he is on live TV with this frizzy hair and Vince went ballistic. Not at him, but at the fact that the thing looked silly and that was actually why that whole thing was ditched was because Vince thought it made such a terrible impression and actually made Kane, my character look bad because here you have this person — you got this guy with bad hair beating me up basically. But you know, the imposter Kane, you can tell that it was very poorly done."
