WWE Hall of Famer Kane (Glen Jacobs) spoke with PWMania.com on a variety of topics such as how fellow WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker was always his favorite wrestler even before he got to the WWE.
Kane said:
“It was amazing. Undertaker was my favorite superstar before I got into the WWE. He debuted right around the time I broke into the wrestling business. He’s always been my favorite. He was a big guy like me, and the character was amazing. He was the first big guy to combine size and athleticism that he did. There were a lot of big guys who couldn’t do the stuff he could do.”
Kane also spoke about how he had a great deal of respect for The Undertaker as a performer before The Big Red Machine even really got into the business and how all the rumors of Taker being a locker room leader were true.
Kane said:
“Ultimately, not only was it of course a tremendous character and concept, but it was the fact that you had this guy who was 6’10, 300lbs, could walk across the top rope, and he’ll tell you himself he would move very methodically and did a lot of things a human being his size wouldn’t be able too. I have a great deal of respect for him as a performer before I even really got into the business. Then, when I was around him for a few years, all the stuff about him being the locker room leader is all true. He was the guy you didn’t want to disappoint, I remember one night I felt terrible because he was hurt and still went out and did a half an hour match. He was in pain and did the best that he could. He didn’t have to, he’s The Undertaker, he’s been there for 20 years and if he wanted to phone it in, nobody would say anything.”
Kane then spoke about his relationship with WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker and how it is a dream to be able to work with The Phenom.
Kane said:
“Then I went out there and I worked hard, but I was like man, here he is. That was the moment when I decided I would never phone it in either. If he could go out there and wrestle at a high-level hurt, then we all could. Frankly, he is an idol. To be able to work with him, that closely and develop a close relationship with him, is just something dreams are made out of.”
