Glenn Jacobs recalls awe-inspiring first encounter with The Undertaker before becoming Kane

Glenn Jacobs, better known as Kane in WWE, recently shared his memorable first encounter with The Undertaker. Before becoming the iconic Kane character, Jacobs had wrestled in various promotions during the mid-1990s. During a tryout with WWE, Jacobs saw The Undertaker backstage for the first time and was awestruck by his appearance.

Jacobs described the experience as “wild” and “freaky,” seeing The Undertaker fully in character with white face paint and costume. As a long-time fan of The Undertaker, whom he considered “the greatest wrestling character of all time,” Jacobs was amazed to see him in person. This encounter marked the beginning of a significant on-screen relationship between the two wrestlers.

The pair would go on to form a successful tag team known as The Brothers of Destruction, winning the WWE World Tag Team Championships three times in 2001. Their partnership later evolved into a rivalry, with the two feuding over the World Heavyweight Championship multiple times in 2010, showcasing the depth and longevity of their on-screen relationship.
