The WWF Debut of Kane

Wrestling Bios Presents - The WWF Debut of Kane

The WWF / WWE debut of the Kane character was an instant hit with wrestling fans. After having already worked in the WWE as Isaac Yankem and the new Diesel, Glenn Jacobs was finally able to find success in the ring when he portrayed The Undertaker's brother in late 1997.

In today's WWE, storylines can sometimes feel rushed but this was not the case with the Kane debut storyline. Taking place over months in 1997, we were first made aware of Kane's existence by Paul Bearer, The Undertaker's old manager who wanted to once again be at the Phenom's side. Paul Bearer said he knew a secret about The Undertaker, and he would reveal that secret if The Undertaker didn't once again join forces with him. When Undertaker was unable to do Paul Bearer's bidding, the secret was revealed to the world, and we learned that The Undertaker's younger brother Kane was alive.
