No Superstar in history has made more of an immediate impact than Kane. On October 5, 1997, the world met Kane, as the
seven-foot monster tore off the door to “Hell in the Cell” in order to get to his brother the Undertaker. Eventually,
a sibling rivalry led to the first-ever Inferno Match.
Kane earned distinction by winning the WWE Championship less than a year after his debut, by defeating Stone Cold Steve
Austin at the 1998 King of the Ring. Albeit short, his WWE Championship reign proved that Kane is capable of a long run as
one of the very best on RAW.
Kane’s versatility in the ring was evident during a series of runs as a Tag Team Champion, most recently with Rob
Van Dam.
During that run with RVD, Kane was egged on by Austin to again become the monster that was once called “The Big Red
Machine.” The monster returned and the results have been scary. After removing his trademark mask, Kane embarked on
a deadly path of destruction. His victim list includes Shane McMahon, WWE CEO Linda McMahon via Tombstone, and RAW announcer
Jim Ross via fire. He is big, he is strong, he is hungry…and now with a new fire inside, Kane may be unstoppable!
