The Undertaker reveals Kane’s origin and praises Glenn Jacobs’ perseverance in WWE
The Undertaker, a WWE legend, recently shared insights about the origins of the Kane character and praised Glenn Jacobs for his perseverance in the wrestling industry. Initially, Kane was introduced as a short-term opponent for The Undertaker to defeat. However, the character’s popularity surpassed expectations, evolving into a significant figure in WWE.
Before becoming Kane, Jacobs had struggled with unsuccessful gimmicks like Fake Diesel and Isaac Yankem. The Undertaker commended Jacobs for his resilience in the face of these setbacks, noting his impressive physical condition upon debuting as Kane. The overwhelmingly positive fan reaction to Kane’s 1997 debut immediately convinced The Undertaker that WWE had struck gold with this new character. Both wrestlers have since acknowledged their rivalry as a crucial part of their careers, with The Undertaker describing it as one of his most pivotal storylines.
