Jr "he sat up like the brothertaker"
I noticed that too.....we kinda similar 😜😜
Thats a new one. I have jockingly refered to him as the underbrother in the past
😂😭🤣 *New Achievement Unlocked* 'THE BROTHATAKERRR!'
He sat up like the brother, Taker...cos they're kayfabe brothers. Wasn't a slip.
Yes!! 🤣🤣
Kane was just so believeable when he no sold. It looked ridiculous with Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. Him and Undertaker perfected it.
amen
Even sting was more believable
Although I was a big "Warrior" and still am I agree! However look at the Era your talking about! Doink the Clown. The gabage man guy, & so many others. Anyone remember the Monster Truck crossover? Where the Wrestlers would voice their lines in person, Undertaker & Paul Bearer too, then the trucks they rep'd would do their thing!! Lol..Also the Moon Dogs Lmao!! Think those guys were actually like that for Real!! Lol
Here we go You Hogan haters are comical.😅😅😅
@@sallengage6267 I don't hate him to hate him there's a difference just nothing he did at least to me was remotely enjoyable and yes I was watching when he was wrestling but what appealed to me were guys like Undertaker and Kane
Bro Kane is the literally the WWE version of Michael Myers
Was about to comment the same thing, so I had to check if anybody said it already 😂
Except Kane didn’t have the weird teleportation thing Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees would do
More like Jason Voorhees
Kane was actually patterned after Michael Myers.
I’ll say Kane was more Jason I’ll give taker Myers
“Resembled a horror movie villain”. Well yeah he was one lol.
Yes he was😂
Straight TF up tank top masked Kane was too brutal same with one sleeve kane
If you want to know the movie, it's called *See No Evil* and it's with Glen as the horrorvillian. And the horrormovie with Brodus Clay is *No One Lives* and its a very good one with that Dracula Untold or Hobbit Actor too in that movie as a psychopath
@@ganjalfdergrune4279 Yeah See No evil is what I was actually referencing lol
@@mattieonutube273 Yeah, so you an Og too. Im feeling old to that point😂
I miss Kane from 1997-2003
Very much the best character in wrestling during that time !
Kane in 2001 especially was the biggest he ever was!
Cope
I liked corporate kane... nah just playing 😅
Specially the kanearonie
I agree. Even without his mask he looked scary.
Hey, why you gotta do him like that? 😂 He looks good without the mask.
Nah unmasked Kane was a straight up menace.
Some people said Kane was less scary after he took off his mask... Unmasked Kane tombstoned Linda McMahon, tombstoned a priest, electrocuted Shane McMahon's balls, sat up with a bleeding forehead shortly after got stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin, set JR on fire, set MVP on fire, hmmm, less scary...?
I always liked unmasked Kane better. He has the perfect face for his role so just show it!
@@dezpotizmOFheaven yes i mean he played jacob goodnight in See No Evil. The man has a face made for horror
Kane was an Ox back then
Not to takeaway from kane but Vader doing a moonsault or wtf ever its called is impressive 😲
Yea, that was hella impressive.
True. 400 pound man doing a moonsault with ease is breathtaking and it takes balls.
Seen Kane do hurricanrana?
Yeah. I scoffed initially at him calling himself Vader (or I guess he spelled it Vadar) but when I saw the size of him and that he did those kinds of maneuvers, I cut him some slack because he didn't injure himself. Takes a lot of perfection, practice, and nerves of steel.
Yup 458 pound moonsault
People who only watched kane in the mid to late 2010s and 2020s will never understand how genuinely believable he was as the scariest and most dominant force in all of wwe. No offence to these names because i lke them all but prime kane in the late 90s and early 2000s makes peak braun strowman and omos look like childs play compared to the genuine fear kane left fans in the live crowd.
I wish they would have had Kane hold the wwf title more then once and for more then one day Kane was always one of my favorite wrestlers growing up
You're not wrong
Preach! 🙏 There wasn't a single person in that locker room that couldn't be picked up and dropped by the Big Red Machine during his heyday. AND he was also revered behind the curtain ss one of, if not THE safest person to match with. Reliable to work with, could essentially get anyone over for a push, could go up to bat with the big dawgs, and stayed humble through all his talent-fueled years. Needless to say, Kane is the quintessential Unsung Hero of the Attitude era, and carried half the WWE on his back for years to follow. OH... AND THE MF IS THE GOT DAMNED MAYOR OF WHATEVER COUNTY HE RESIDES IN FROM TENNESSEE
The Big Red Machine. It was awesome when him and Taker became Brothers of Destruction
That sit up under red light. Terrifying.
Since kane is semi-retired and not fully retired.It will be amazing if he do his last match in his big red machine (1997) attire.
It'd be cool to see him in the Royal Rumble match
For real - and if they used Type O Negative’s version of the theme
hear me out. it needs to be a story build up to Undertaker v kane. (kane with slow chemical) final match...ever. the brother v brother. top guy currently interferes. disqualification. brothers band together and beat the living hell out of top guy. brothers walk off into the sunset.
@@boondogglet132 Sounds nice but in a way being around Taker hurt Kane, like Rowan and Harper always ending up together somehow. Taker is retired, let him rest.
@@jackgonahieu4999 i agree. he needs to be retired. he already left his boots behind. .... one can hope though
“Sat up just like the Brothertaker”
Kane is a badass as a horror movie villain like Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers ❤
see no evil he was in a horror movie actually
Kane was jacked asf
Pause
@@YJSho_Nuff_That’s not a pause moment. You’re just making it weird by forcing it
Kane sits up the way I used to make my wrestling figures get up after the most brutal attack ever
Kane was so good and atheletic back then. Love how he got out of the ring where he does a one handstand back flip to exit.
Kane was really very charismatic in the ring, the height, broad shoulders, huge muscles, the strength, the sadistic music, the don't give no fck walk down the ring backed by the no fear attitude. Man what a charm it was to watch him even walk towards the ring during late 90s to early 2000s and to watch him perform in the ring with so much agility despite his huge built like a reallife hulk. There was a reason he was called the "Big Red Machine". A true legend. WWE didn't give him what he truly deserved...
Kane the wrestler was actually one of the physically strongest guys in the locker rooon during his prime. He was second only to Mark Henry. In an interview Big Show recalled how in a match Kane lifted him like he weighed nothing. On a side note, real life Ka e was also one of the most soft spoken guys and a gentleman. One of the rare wrestlers with zero haters in the locker room.
Probably no one other than the Undertaker has terrorized the roster for as long and as consistently as Kane. Legend - in every sense of the word.
Kane was a machine
I cannot believe that Vader did a backflip off the top turnbuckle. I knew he was athletic for his size, but GD!
And at roughly 40 years old
@@DJMcFlintyVADER
Not only did Vader pull off the moonsault on a regular basis, he would occasionally land on his feet when the opponent rolled out of the way.
@djmcflinty6770 yup my 37 year old ass would need medical assistance if I tried that these days lol
@@Cherubim666999By the end of his career, Vader a ton of health issues and could barely move.
The Fiend took a lot of inspiration from the OG Kane character. Awesome.
Still one of the best, and imo the best ever wrestler of all time. His gimmicks, the no selling, the mask, the theme. Perfection. We’ll never get anyone like Kane ever again and thats what makes it so tragic.
Kane is an amazing story teller. I believe Glenn Jacobs has a degree in literature if my memory serves
from what i’ve heard, Glen Jacobs was a teacher before he got into wrestling
@@JohnH20111 a true combination of athleticism and intellect makes for one of the all-time greats
Glenn was extremely intelligent, he had an IQ above 140.
Man who got me into wrestling, the mystique and horror of the big red machine. That 1997-2004 period of Kane was absolutely magnificent
Year 1 Kane will never be replicated. (Even if he was sort of a replication of Taker)
Full masked not talking was my favourite he was menacing.
I was legit scared of this man as a kid lol
Kane is the only wrestler who I’ve had nightmares about as a kid, both with and without the mask
He was 10% as scary after the face reveal
Kane is like both Michael Myers/. Jason Voorhees . No matter how much u take em down he alwayz comes back up. to get u.
You can also add Kane and the Undertaker coming up through the mat and dragging someone down to hell.
I like to imagine them had snacks down there.... but didn't share 😱
@lordlittletoeq8537 Lucky for Hornswoggle they aren't real demons.
They did Kane so much justice with those red lights
Bro he's the real life Jason Voorhees he rise up like him like nothing happened
Kane the 🐐
Kane was a monster and had great storylines and backstage was a very nice dude, worthy of his hall of famer status
Kane was the Michael Myers of wrestling
Also the only one to kick out of the Tombstone Piledriver twice
He kicked out of the third one too, but the ref was a little faster with the 3 count. You can see his shoulder raise a little bit right after the 3rd count.
@@thepantherchannel2988💯 and here I thought I was the only one to see that. Also, if you want WM14, those were 2 LEGITIMATE tombstone pile drivers. Head met canvas each time. Simply amazing!
48:02 undertaker came in mad gangster like "The fuck is you doing dawg?!" 😂😂😂
Bro was the mr. X of wwe
Taz made it famous to get back up immediately from a table spot in his ECW days. Kane sat up and stood up from the same spot for fun.
lol the brothertaker
I rmbr that guitar smack. He ate that ish
Kane is 2000-2001 was insanely powerful! He could lift anyone on the roaster including big show
Remember that when Cornette proposed the main idea of the Kane character it was something akin to Michael Myers
I love the guitar shot and seeing Jeff Jerrett's face. Jeff: "Oh! i f**ked up"
I love Kane but I disagree. Remember back when Taker was putting people inside body bags?? And nailing them inside coffins. That's way scarier. The dude was carrying people away in body bags... Back in the early 90s when wrestling was nothing like it is today. But I love Kane.
Back when Kane was still a dentist 😂😂
Undertaker use to make kids in the audience cry when he came out.
In my opinion. No one could ever top Jim Ross. With him, commentary catch phrases. That's why he's the "boss Jim Ross"
Kane 🔥 was just a great heel or baby Face. He had that it factor to be a 👍 great opponent in the Ring. Incredible Character 🙆
I still to this day get haunted by the OG long sleeve masked Kane. That image of him is the image of a demon in my brain lol
Kane (Glen Jacob) is truely a legend.
Peak Kane was unstoppable. So underrated.
That 1st OG chair shot.. Kane " you muthafrker
Stupid guy fam
They took that sitting up thing from Michael Myers.
Nothing beats the Attitude era. Ruthless Aggression in close second.
That look big e gave😂😂😂😂😂
that look of ‘Oh Shit, I’m Screwed!!!’
The Jarrett guitar shot was my favorite one of all, I saw that one live on Heat, and it made the whole program series for me. But the Mankind-bent wrench prop one was probably the scariest.
1997 Kane in attitude era were absolute beast feel no pain
The original Kane mask was the best. He was the perfect horror movie character. I was genuinely terrified of him at 8 years old lol
The talent that WWF had in the late 90s was insane!! That roster was loaded with GOATs!! Austin, Rock, Taker, Kane, HHH, Sean Michaels, Edge, Foley its unreal and its also why Raw was must see TV every Monday night
Kane was my favorite wrestler as a kid but the moment he unmasked it gave me nightmare for years He's still one of my favorite
Dude deserves so much respect
Follow me on this one, folks: Kane, was the perfect male role model. Don't let pain ever slow you down. Don't ever show any signs of weakness. Don't run your mouth. Your actions speak louder than your words. Leave some mystery to yourself and people will fear you. People fear the unknown. And I could go on...
I could live without being feared.
Oh My God so much worse when you remember how easily Kane and Undertaker casually lifted each other with one arm and I'm not even talking about the choke slam
Kane being tag team champions with x pac was my all time favorite.
Damn, that guitar shot by JJ was amazing
I wouldn't call the sit up no selling.
Damn, the pop when Jarret hit him with the guitar. It looked pretty badass tbh.
Kane has the mannerisms of Michael Myers and physique, durability and strength of Jason vorhees. He is the most terrifying thing that walked in WWF ring.
Big E's eyeballs just about exploded there when Kane sat up.
Kane legitimately gave me multiple nightmares as a kid when he debuted... the giant unstopping monster that destroyed anyone in his way 😅
Been a Kane fan since forever. :)
Kanes original costume & the one before he was unmasked are so cool!
Kane before they took his mask definitely had a Jason Voorhees vibe that was absolutely amazing
Dude was a beast in his prime.
The one and only, never again
Thanks for including a Big E clip, was nice to see him again
Kane got me into wrestling when i was a kid. His og ring attire was so sick.
Kane no sold that guitar shot like a fuckin BEAST
Kane was my absolute favorite wrestler as a child
The absolute size of young Kane is wild. That is so much mass.
Pre unmasked Kane was the best. Everything about him. His demeanor, his entrance, even the way he used to back flip out of the ring!
Nothing was better than the anticipation for Kane or 'Taker doing the situp and stopping their opponents in their tracks. Whole family would be at the edge of the seat like 'He's going to do it... he's going to do it! You messed up now!"
Most underrated wrestler of all time. He should have been a champion more than 1 time!
That no sold to the guitar Smash was something
Kane was one of those wrestlers where even if his opponent won, he definitely left a piece of himself in the ring doing so.
Kane was like “hit me with something stronger now”
He was like the jason of wwe
Give Glenn credit, his entertainment as the villain was legendary
He was a freak of nature inside Ring .... And a kind hearted gentlemen outside.... ❤❤❤❤
"By GOD he sat up just like the brothertaker" fkn killed me
Kane was a sight to see as a kid
man i love the Big red machine he was scary as
Original kane, when he first came in was actually scary as a kid 😂😂
What's awesome about him is his agility and endurance being that huge of a dude.👋👹🔥
I remember once, Kane got hit with a title belt or something, and Undertaker went to check on him. He tried to do the sit up, but fell back unconscious. It was one of the most comedic moments ever 😂. Undertaker almost broke
Kane had great ab strength to keep sitting up without bending his knees. 👍🏾
When Kane sat back up you knew he was about to kick some ass!!!
Ths best Kane was when Austin made him take that mask off that night and he snapped. Thats when he started the black towel on the head. That Kane was dope
Kane at his peak was the most underrated wrestler in the history of this business
