Whatculture wwe kane biography

Kane defied the one-dimensional nature of his gimmick to become a WWE legend.

Instead of fading away after being beaten by The Undertaker like so many monsters before him, the 'Big Red Machine' was able to spin away from his kayfabe brother and carve out a successful career on his own. Incredibly, he wasn't called Kane originally.

Nah, he was called 'Inferno'.

Kane revealed this on Steve Austin's podcast, and said that the general gist was that he had been so badly burned by fires that he'd taken on a fiery alter ego. Someone suggested that the company might want to back off from literally calling him a walking fire, and so Kane was born.

The character wasn't actually supposed to debut when it did either. Had Vader not been arrested over in Kuwait in April 1997, Kane doesn't think he would've been readied for a major debut before 1998. That's mind-blowing to think about, in retrospect.

Vader could've been the one tearing doors off Hell In A Cell, not Kane. Thankfully, the big man lost his spot and 'Inferno' got the nod to work one of the most memorable debuts ever.

Sorry,

To reiterate: Vince McMahon dreamt up a scenario in which the film’s antagonist would pack, for reasons that are not entirely clear, a three-foot c*ck. Screenwriter Dan Madigan was less than enthused with this development—he repeated the phrase “Oh, this is not good” on a later John Pollock podcast as often as WWE repeated the f*cking date—but, Vince being Vince, he either lost interest in the idea, or forgot about it entirely.

There is a scene in See No Evil in which Kane’s character, Jacob Goodnight, drags a delinquent youth into an elevator using a hook. Were Vince to have remembered his idea, Kane would have used his three-foot c*ck as a lasso.

In reality, and yes this did happen in real life, May 19 was revealed as the date on which his mother and adopted family were killed in a fire. Now, in 1998, the Undertaker’s new Lord of Darkness character took credit for this, but Kane alluded to it being the work of a previously unseen horror he could barely being himself to mention.

This horror was Luke Gallows in a Kane mask.

Oddly, Kane suffered no such trauma in the days

Professional wrestling match types

Various types of matches used in professional wrestling

Many types of wrestling matches, sometimes called "concept" or "gimmick matches" in the jargon of the business, are performed in professional wrestling. Some gimmick matches are more common than others and are often used to advance or conclude a storyline. Throughout professional wrestling's decades-long history, some gimmick matches have spawned many variations of the core concept.

Singles match

The singles match is the most common of all professional wrestling matches, which involves only two competitors competing for one fall. A victory is obtained by pinfall, submission, knockout, countout, or disqualification. One of the most common variations on the singles match is to restrict the possible means for victory.

Blindfold match

In a blindfold match, the two participants must wear a blindfold over their eyes for the entire duration of the match. A well-known example of this match is the WrestleMania VII match between Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Rick Martel.
