That's gotta be Kane!

That's gotta be Kane!

What a beautiful family portrait this
is!

The Kane -Undertaker rivalry, it's the
best story that WWE's ever told. The

layers of the story out of the gate were
so, so rich.

The Undertaker and Kane have just beat
the hell out of each other.

That made you have the Joker.

With Undertaker, you have Kane.

The characters are inextricably linked.
Without Undertaker, there never would

have been a Kane.

Wanting to see the whole two go at it is
like wanting to see your favorite

horror movie.

They didn't even have to say anything to
get you so invested into their

characters.

You don't get much bigger than
Undertaker and Kane in WWE history.

They have done...

Incredible things with stories, with
their character evolving each other.

Crazy, crazy storytelling. And the
matches kind of went right along with

Time to walk straight through the fires
of hell to face you, Kane.

That rivalry has just escalated into a
war.

When two legends collide, their rivalry
stays pinned in our minds forever.

This is where we break down the
legendary stories behind the greatest

of all time.

I'm Freddie Prinze Jr., and this is WWE
Rivals.

Undertaker, Kane, two of the very best.
They both terrified me. And

for me, wrestling has always been the...

purest definition of art. It's the
literal blood, sweat, and tears of the

on an actual canvas, which is the inside
of the ring. And these two may have

done it better than anyone.

In some cases, they did more than blood,
sweat, and tears. There was even

burning flesh in one of their matches.

When I say these names, what's the first
thing that pops in your head?

Taker alone, I mean, I think probably
the most iconic character.

I remember, you know, Working with him
early in his career, every time you

knocked him down, he sat right up.

And the first time he worked with him,
it was just like being on the top of

Everest without oxygen.

You look at a guy like Kane, you look at
a guy like Taker, and you look at how

many boxes they check off, and it's
like, okay, I can't be satisfied with

able just to wear one hat.

I've got to be able to do it all if I
want to get to that level.

I was very excited just by the name
Undertaker. I had no clue what it meant,

what it was. It wasn't until I got up to
Stanford and saw the storyboards

of Vincent's vision of this character.
And then I kind of realized, I just fell

in love with it.

From Death Valley, I give you The
Undertaker.

A man named Pete.

This is when the story starts, because
they introduced me as Kane the

Undertaker. We ended up dropping the
Kane.

Little did we know in 1990 that that was
going to come back into play.

Those slow,

methodical movements, the way he carried
himself, the composure.

But let's just talk about athletic
prowess here. This guy standing, walking

the top floor. Look at the power. The
Undertaker ruling the ring here.

Everything was by design and with so
much self -restraint. Truly a work of

And I can say for sure there's nobody
that could have pulled off that

like Mark Calloway at all.

And it began and stopped with Mark and
just the way his personality is as

a man, as a person, was totally perfect
for that character.

The time has come.

As my Undertaker puts the final touches
on your coffin.

You've got a mortician that could manage
the Undertaker. And that character of

the Undertaker was so special.

You needed a complete package. You
needed someone to speak for him. You

someone to present him and to be with
him all the time.

And it was a match made in heaven.

The Undertaker and Paul Bearer.

Paul Bearer enhanced Undertaker by being
able to verbalize what the Undertaker

would think and or say and or feel.

People wouldn't even come up to me. They
would come up to Paul Bearer and they

would actually say the word.

He really did.

As crazy as that sounds, I didn't switch
off from Mark Calloway to Undertaker.

Even when I was in public, although I
didn't wear the full Undertaker garb, my

clothes were all black. Always had, you
know, black hats and black shades.

I lived it.

Speaking of morbid, look at Paul Bearer.
Look at the pressing around here. I

felt naked without having anything in my
hands.

So I had to have something in my hand.

I thought about it, thought about it.

All of a sudden, an urn popped in my
head.

What about an urn?

He draws power from that urn. There's
something in there that motivates this

man. Those little things just made that
character so strong, throwing lightning

bolts.

The fire and all that just added to this
guy. He is the spawn of the devil.

And it's amazing the input that I would
get from people.

And of all people, like the baby face of
all baby faces, Ricky Steamboat. He

goes, you know what would be really
cool?

Like after you beat somebody, stuff them
in a body bag and carry them out.

I'm like, yeah.

On the one hand, it should have been
cartoonish because you have this idea

he's a dead man who's out there
wrestling.

But he did it so well and it was so
convincing that I was like, oh my gosh,

is cool creepy.

He's actually my favorite WWE superstar
before I got into WWE as a fan.

I'm in the live Raw with The Undertaker.
The lights go down, the purple haze

comes up.

Dong, dong, and lighters go everywhere.

And I just remember thinking, oh, my
God, this is the coolest thing I've ever

seen. And I'm sitting there just like a
fan watching it. And I'm in the ring

waiting on him. And, you know, nobody's
looking at me. The whole arena's looking

at him. The Undertaker, ladies and
gentlemen.

People bought it.

Everybody loved that guy. One of the
superstars right behind Paul Bearer, the

giant Undertaker.

You have to adapt with the times. You
have to change.

After five or six years, there was a
feeling that maybe Paul Bearer was

Undertaker back a little bit.

How could The Undertaker possibly
understand what has happened here?

And for Taker to take the next step in
the evolution of that character, we

needed to hear from The Undertaker.

We needed to hear from him more.

And if you're going to hear from The
Undertaker more...

Do you really need a manager with him?

We needed an opponent

for The Undertaker.

And looking at the roster, there was
nobody that was a threat.

There wasn't a monster that you could
match up with The Undertaker.

First man to ever commit murder was
Kane.

Killed his brother Abel.

Simple story, everyone knows it.

What if...

The undertaker had a brother.

No one knew this.

His brother's name was Cain.

We're going to have to go back a few
years.

We're talking about a little funeral
home sitting up on a hill, beautiful

old trees all around, and a wonderful,
wonderful family -owned funeral home.

There was this horrible fire that Cain
was in inside the house.

Maybe Undertaker set the dam.

And his baby brother perished in the
fire. So he thought.

And the one person that knew that his
brother was alive and had been taking

of his brother this entire time was Paul
Bearer.

So we told the story over six months.

Well, I kept insisting that Cain was
alive.

Paul tells his side of the story. I took
care of him.

He was burned. He was maimed. He was
left for dead, but I brought him to

life. I showed him the love and the care
that you as his blood never did.

And now Paul had in his mind a reason to
bring Cain back.

And now he wants one thing.

Revenge. He's coming!

It's coming!

Get him!

Who else is Undertaker going to wrestle?
Who else can give him a legitimate

fight at this point? He's literally
fought everyone.

When I found out that I was going to be
The Undertaker's brother, I realized

that that was my big break.

I was extremely excited for Glenn.

I knew this was going to be the one for
him.

The story was just so good.

I saw a rendering, and initially I was
like, man, this is not what I had in

mind. I talked to Mark, and neither of
us thought that this was what Kane would

look like because we thought that Kane
would be kind of like a Jason Voorhees

he's escaped from an institution and
would have that kind of look. And I

to Vince about it.

He was like, okay, Kane takes a lot of
pride in his appearance because he's

jealous of The Undertaker.

He wants to look like a superhero
because he wants to be better than The

Undertaker. And I was like, man, okay,
you're really, really smart about this

stuff.

WWE had a ring set up in the warehouse
in Sanford, Connecticut.

So I went up there.

Vince wanted Kane to be the anti
-Undertaker. So it was a lot of his same

I was able to incorporate some of my own
as well.

I even had to practice doing the sit -up
because I couldn't do the sit -up quite

like Undertaker.

Bad Blood was going to be the blow -off
match between Shawn and I. Two men

enter, one man leaves.

The cell itself just came as an idea of
wanting to have something bigger than

just a regular cage match.

We're just talking about trying to get
some kind of cage that's different than

the regular ones. Maybe it has a top.

And then what the WWE always does is
they just take... something so small,

then make it so much more grandiose.

This is not a good time to be Shawn
Michaels.

No, indeed not, as the official
padlocking the chain.

We were in the midst of a great, great
match, kind of finalizing our story.

Michaels is getting beat to a pulp by
The Undertaker.

All eyes shifted to that and forgot
about the Kane thing.

There was just a number of things that
fell into place that when you look back

on it, it made it all perfect for that
situation.

I have never seen anything like this in
my life.

At one point, my thought was, man, I
just hope I don't mess this match up

because it was so good.

If you're not nervous, something's
wrong.

You should be nervous. You should have
that butterfly feeling in your stomach.

And this was Kane's big chance.

Just when you think, you know, we've
done everything we could.

Beat the living crap out of Sean, and
all I got to do is covering.

Oh, my God.

It's all over.

Boom.

The lights went out, and bam, and the
music hit, and the crowd had no idea

was going on. You could hear a pin drop.
There's like 15 ,000 people in the

arena there in St. Louis, and they
weren't making any noise. They're like,

is this a mess up? Did they lose power?

What happened?

Oh, my God. Wait a minute. It's Paul
Bearer.

It's Paul Bearer.

And there's this giant roar, and I'm
actually getting goosebumps talking

it. And the audience realized, oh,
that's the guy that everybody's been

about.

That's got to be Kane.

That's got to be Kane.

They're the size of this human being. Or
is that a human being?

The Undertaker's in a cage, and Kane
comes out, and he physically rips the

door off of the cage.

And it looked so legit, and they
constantly built these two monsters.

And you can't say monsters that much in
WWE, because there's been so few of them

that have been able to accomplish what
both of these guys accomplished.

That's got to be Kane, the Undertaker,
looking at him, looking to the eye.

Of that giant who stands in front of
him.

That's the thing about them, though, is
that they don't have to do very much.

And you can do just a little bit that
you do in that ring, and they capture it

just by staring.

There's Kane, and he stands there. And
then I think it's probably one of my

reactions ever.

Because you can see in the guy that
doesn't sell anything, that doesn't.

You know, you can cut his arm off and
he's not going to win.

But you can see it in my eyes, which you
would never see that kind of a

confused, almost fear -like look in my
eyes. It was, holy crap,

this is my brother that I thought was
dead.

And it was just so powerful of a moment.

It was the first time you ever saw, and
I don't want to say fear, and for the

first time you see some type of humanity
in The Undertaker, and you're not sure

what it is, but it's something you had
never seen before. And it meant

something, because I was about to say
that, because you'd never, because you

saved it for the perfect foil.

It was just magic, and you could feel it
from the very start.

And of course, Undertaker, he would come
out and raise the lights by throwing

his hands up, so Kane threw his hands
down.

Hold on!

And then we blew all four pyros off of
the post, and then it's hellfire and

brimstone that he's bringing. So you
have the good and the evil, and it was

all of it just worked so well.

It was the first time I had that feeling
of, man, that was it.

It was almost like, well, you just hit a
home run in the World Series, right?

And you're going, so that's what that
feels like.

I never felt that way in my wrestling
career up until that point.

The Undertaker driven down to the canvas
and listen to this response.

To pay it off with Kane and how huge he
was and how ominous he looked, it was

just magic.

John Michaels has defeated The
Undertaker. No, no, no, no, no, wait a

Kane has defeated The Undertaker.

The emotions of that night was just...

For the first time, I actually felt like
I was a WWE superstar.

It was just so written.

There were so many levels to this story.

I will never fight my own flesh and
blood.

I will never fight Kane.

Now you've got somebody that I would
undertake, even bigger than The

And everything initially just was
perfect.

We are going to take each wrestler one
by one and destroy them

until we reach you.

You go out there and you're destroying
everybody in the roster.

I don't know. And you're going to have
Undertaker there at the end of the

journey. You realize it's going to be a
big deal.

One more chance to be a man for all.

leeches of the night you must face your
brother oh

man how much more of this will the
undertaker take

maybe not much more came with

almost to a tee just like him and he
wore a mask so he's even more mysterious

and he's Like a super jacked human
being. Like it's scary.

But to see those two face off, just
looking at each other, same height, same

everything. It was a match that I
couldn't wait to see.

You have these two just supernatural
type characters, Kane and

Undertaker.

And I think it felt so real because they
were brothers.

The two brothers looking eye to eye.

What must the Undertaker be thinking
right now?

Sibling rivalries. I mean, my daughters
have it, and so does Undertaker and

Kane. It was real life being displayed
in an exaggerated way.

It all started from day one, and then
just the levels of story that we put on

it. The Undertaker's walking away in the
thought that he will never, ever fight

his brother Kane.

Before Kane, of course there's other big
guys that Undertaker faced, but he

pretty much demolished all of his
opponents.

Now here you have his brother Kane, who
not only is a monster himself, but it's

his brother. He knows The Undertaker. He
knows what he's thinking. He thinks a

lot alike like The Undertaker does. You
just didn't know which way it was going

to go.

There's an element of like, okay, I
understand this. So as silly as the

storyline might be,

That happens on a lower level, like on a
daily basis. At the crux of this

storyline is the brother who did
something terrible and blamed his little

brother for it. So there's an element of
relatability here, right? Who can't

relate to that, right?

Who can't relate to blaming your brother
for a murder?

That's where the entertainment factor
comes in.

You can't relate to the fact that The
Undertaker's a dead man and he's out

specifically dominant.

You can't relate to the fact that Kane
is basically insane from years of being

locked away and somehow controls fire.

But what you can relate to is they're
brothers that have a sibling rivalry

that's gone on and is festering for
many, many years. That's the stuff of

stories. And I think it helped people
relate to these characters that

would have been Unbelievable and just
completely over the top and out of the

realm of any sort of human possibility.

Shawn Michaels and Undertaker casket
match at Royal Rumble.

The entire world thought that Kane was
in Undertaker's corner, and then it just

completely pulled the rug out from under
him.

The Undertaker and the casket! Michael
shut the lid!

I thought that the Undertaker and Kane
had reconciled their differences!

And my God!

The casket's on fire!

The casket's on fire!

Well, this is hideous.

I already knew that we were going to go
to WrestleMania.

But for the most part, the storyline had
been that Undertaker, was avoiding Kane

because he didn't want to hurt him. He
was his little brother, right? And Kane

had finally provoked him to the point
the Undertaker's hot.

WrestleMania 14, I will strike down upon
thee with

anger and furious vengeance.

To me, he's one of the greatest
characters, if not the greatest

has ever invented.

And now Kane has to come out and match
that and be equal to Undertaker. There's

no one that could have done that except
Glenn Jacobs.

From Boston, it's WrestleMania 14!

I went with a bunch of my high school
buddies, and, you know, we were huge

then. And we didn't have good seats at
all. Our backs were literally up against

the wall, like way, way in the back.

I remember, like, Kane would come out in
the fire.

You could feel the heat all the way up
in the back. You know, you literally

the heat almost like you were going to
get burned. It was so incredibly hot.

know, watching the culmination of that,
that few of them finally getting to

touch.

WrestleMania is where Undertaker is
going to set his little brother

It's about time because Kane put it to
me pretty good.

Two seven -foot monsters.

What a hellacious matchup this is going
to be.

This is the first time that Undertaker
and Kane had really fought.

I mean, there had been some skirmishes
along the way, but for the most part,

this is not written in stone. The
Undertakers are going to this match and

The Undertaker!

Kane added so much to Undertaker's
career.

And I understand also these are the two
most liked guys in the history of the

business. You know, we're sitting back
there at WrestleMania 14. I tagged with

Glenn Jacobs in Europe before we both
made it to WWE.

I'm sitting there just wanting him to do
well. You know, everybody is. We're

rooting for these guys. You know, they
knock it out of the park. We're ecstatic

about it. We've got something that's
going to draw for a long time.

His brother has waited a lifetime for
revenge.

Look at this. The Undertaker fighting
back.

There I am at WrestleMania, and it was
the climax of the original storyline

between Undertaker and Kane.

And I'd never been in that situation
before.

He's hitting his brother with everything
he's got.

My tombstone, no one had ever kicked out
of.

The Undertaker with a tombstone planted
him.

What? Nobody's ever done that.

Not only did he kick out of it once.

He kicked out.

Undertaker is trying to kill his own
brother.

He kicked out of it twice.

People were astonished.

This would be the third tombstone.

And will this be enough?

My God, what will it take if it's not?

Yeah. The Undertaker has won this match.

Mark Calloway is one of those people
that understands in.

do wrestling business and WWE, the
importance of your opponent.

And if you go out there and you have a
match with someone that doesn't look

they should be in the ring with you, you
haven't beaten anyone.

And I was impressed because he treated
me like an equal.

They've heated rivalry between two
brothers with a fiery past.

Well, I've seen The Undertaker versus
his most capable rival.

I've seen The Deadman against his own
brother.

Don't we need to ramp it up?

I mean, isn't the sequel to every movie,
this time it's personal?

What's more personal than trying to set
your own brother on fire?

And isn't that what the story was about?

Let's do an infernal match.

First person to set his opponent on fire
will win this match.

You take these two guys that are 6 '10
and 300 pounds, they've got these great

characters, they're larger than life,
and you add fire?

It doesn't get any better than that.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Oh, my gosh.

This is amazing.

Initially, you're like, okay, somebody's
lost their freaking mind.

This is hell on earth.

For the first time ever, you had someone
who was equal to Undertaker as far as

physical abilities and also added that
kind of supernatural element that

Undertaker brings.

Undertaker has never been challenged as
he is with his brother Kane. Yes, Kane

just leveled his brother.

It was pretty hairy in there, man.

What most people didn't realize was that
all those flames going up is just

sucking all the oxygen out.

of the ring why play with fire and we
all eventually get burned

the

attitude era i think

it was not only the most unique time in
wwe but really in entertainment i mean

we were not only top of the wrestling
world i mean we were on top of the

entertainment world When you look at
characters and individuals who have very

successful long careers in WWE, they've
been able to reinvent themselves.

Undertaker is a great example of that.

As great as the Undertaker character is,
there were a lot of parameters, a lot

of things that I couldn't do because of
the character.

I think the character would have
survived, but I don't think it would

continued to grow if I hadn't moved away
from the traditional Undertaker.

The American Badass kind of, it freed me
up. I was able to keep a few of the

nuances of the old character, but I was
able to move it into the mainstream.

Here comes the real American Badass!

The Undertaker!

It was good for me because it allowed me
to work differently for a while, to

think creatively in a different sense.

Instead of remaining enemies, we get the
most powerful tag team that's ever

existed. I mean, their name is literally
the Brothers of Destruction.

When they decided to start tag teaming
together as the Brothers of Destruction,

when you see two guys that cool coming
down to the ring and nobody can

really affect them as the Brothers of
Destruction, Yeah, you fear the hell out

of them, but it's so cool. You respect
the hell out of them.

The Brothers of Destruction was really
the logical conclusion, our logical

destination of the journey that we've
been on. The brothers, side by side. Oh,

my gosh.

Double toe slam.

Undertaker and Kane, the Brothers of
Destruction.

The WWE audience had always wanted this
to get together, and you could tell it.

They were dominant individual
characters, so they'd be even more

tag team.

These brothers united, and by God, when
they're together, hell has no fury like

these two.

Oh, my gosh. When the Brothers of
Destruction came about, it was like,

going to beat these guys? Nobody.

Take it up they go.

Don't stand by the Brothers of
Destruction.

No one can touch Kane and Undertaker.
Are you kidding me?

Are we going to set up the Hardy Boys or
Edge and Christian or Dudley's? No.

The Brothers of Destruction. They're
going to take out every single tag team

there is to take out. And they did.

Is there anyone that can stand up to the
Brothers of Destruction?

Not in this galaxy.

You're in the locker room and enjoying
the camaraderie of other people that do

what you do. We're a very unique group.

I don't know if I necessarily ever had
time to stop and think, wow, you know,

this is really special. I wish I could
have. I wish I would have had time to

savor it more.

But that's just the nature of the beast.

I mean, it was so cool because I know
that I got to really help Glenn come

to his own and help make him what he
would turn into, which is on him because

worked his tail off.

It was fun to add evolution to Kane,
because you realize at some point that

silent guy in the mask can only go so
far.

While the mask, of course, is an amazing
tool in that it provides this mystique

and makes the character very unique,
there's also some shortcomings.

People can't see your face, and they
don't know quite what the emotions are,

there's only so much you can do before
it gets old. So I thought the character

had gotten stale.

He's going to do it, JR! He's going to
do it! What is it going to look like?

I remember him taking off his mask for
the first time.

It was like, oh, my gosh, like everyone
wanted to see that. I don't care if you

are a wrestling fan or not. You knew who
Kane was and you wanted to be watching

Monday Night Raw because you wanted to
see what was going to happen.

We've always speculated. Here it comes.

I don't know if we want to see that.
Yeah, I do want to see it.

Oh, my God.

What the hell is that?

Is that a human?

We've always speculated. Here it comes.

I don't know if we want to see that.
Yeah, I do want to see it.

Oh, my God.

What the hell is that?

Is that a human?

This cane was actually the scariest of
them all because he is a psychological

monster. You find out that the scars
that he's covering up, they're actually

the inside. They're not on the outside.

That made the character much more
alluring to me because as much as the

Kane was about psychology, this one even
more so.

Tonight, I will once again feast on fear
and suffering.

Kane is no doubt a living, breathing
monster.

Sadistic and twisted and mean.

I'm not going to do what they want.

Now what?

I do.

What I want.

There is nothing that can stop me.

He was smart enough to reinvent his
character when he needed to.

And it didn't matter in which direction
I went, which direction Kane went.

We could not touch each other for a
year. And still, boom, just like that,

put those two back together. And people
were just like, oh, yeah.

I'm going back to the more traditional,
but now I'm bringing a lot of the

American badass wrestling style with it
and trying to make it all work within

the capsule of the traditional
Undertaker. It

was what's old is now new again, but

there's more substance now to what you
get in the ring.

That just breathed new life in for both
of us, because even though they had the

same history, the characters were
different than the first time they met.

And that made it really alluring and
different. It wasn't just a rehash. It

literally something brand new.

It was exciting.

Lord knows Kane deserves what he got at
WrestleMania 20.

He kind of went too far, and Big Brother
had to put Little Brother back in his

place.

It's the story that's important.

You know, we're sitting here talking
about the rivalry of Taker and Kane and

they were able to do that for so long.

We don't talk about the win -loss
percentage.

Taker won, I think, 75 % of the matches.

Kane won 25.

Like, by the numbers, you would think
that you would lose interest.

But you were still interested and you
wanted to see it every single time

of their ability to be able to tell that
story.

With Undertaker and Kane, it hit close
to home with a lot of fans because

brothers aren't always going to get
along.

And they're going to have fights and
quarrels.

And they're going to have mountains and
valleys.

And I think people relate to that.

When you're with anybody, you know, 300
plus days a year, you become family

whether you like it or not.

And they legitimately are like brothers.
You know, they're that close.

And it's actually funny. So many people
in our extended family thought they were

brothers. Like at our wedding, they're
like, you know.

Your other four brothers are here, but
where's Cain? We're like, um, he's not

really, you know, a real brother. But
they're super close. They're great

friends. Glenn is such a good person,
intelligent person, well -studied,

you know. You don't get all that. All
you get is Cain off of TV, right? But

have no idea. You have to be able to
trust the character of the human being.

And when you do, that frees you up to...

do business in a grand way.

He's always been there for me, and he's
always wanted Kane to be the equal of

The Undertaker.

Kane has defeated his brother!

Here are two guys. They have a legendary
feud.

You don't know how in God's name we can
possibly up the ante. It's like, I know.

Buried alive.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following
contest is the Buried Alive match.

Now the only way to win this match is to
put your opponent inside the grave,

covering his body completely with dirt,
burying him alive.

He's an undertaker. He buries the
opposition.

It's not just a period at the end of the
sentence, it's an exclamation point.

And for Kane, an opportunity to bury the
years of frustration of living in his

brother's shadow. And Undertaker,
wasting little time starting this

You can just sense it, that these two
literally want to destroy each other. I

think both Undertaker and Kane knew they
had the opportunity to do something

special. That is thick as Undertaker!

Kane going for a chokeslam here to The
Undertaker. And he delivers.

Yes, Kane almost carrying The Undertaker
with ease.

Kane has completely dominated his
brother, The Undertaker.

He had never really beaten me in any big
pay -per -view.

If he was going to be a legitimate
champion, he had to beat his brother.

The saga is over.

My brother.

is never coming back.

Mark and I did often talk in our later
years about retirement.

And it is difficult because you're used
to a certain lifestyle where you're in

the spotlight all the time.

People after a while are like, man, I
want the old Undertaker back.

I want the old Kane back.

And so that nostalgia kicked in.

Through the course of 20 years, it's
just like you go right back to it.

And that's special because there's so
much content.

And there's so many different characters
and there's so many different people

that come and they go. But those are two
constants.

And that story of those two guys
together, I would say that that, as far

storytelling, I don't think it'll ever
be matched.

You know, when you look at rivalries,
like the earliest in my childhood was

Ali Frazier.

And, you know, like nobody ever saw Ali
get beat.

And you watch that and, you know, you
almost take it the same way as you

knew on any given night it could be
Kane's night. They say no one's bigger

the business.

But every once in a while, there's
someone that's so special. A Tiger Woods

bigger than golf. There have been
football players bigger than the game.

have been boxers, Muhammad Ali, bigger
than boxing. And then there's Undertaker

and Kane.

Being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
is the greatest honor of my career.

Of course, I would be remiss if on
behalf of Kane, I didn't thank his WWE

family.

Kane's daddy, Paul Bearer, and his
brother, The Undertaker.

Mark Calloway was always a huge advocate
of mine.

He saw value in me as a performer.

He was the person that really motivated
me to believe in myself and get myself

where I needed to be.

And that's really just a testament to
him in that your real legacy, maybe in

some cases, is the opponents that you
help create.

Hey, Glenn.

Is that the one? That's the one right
there, man.

You think about it. We're a Batman D
without Joker.

But where would Joker be without Batman,
too?

Thank goodness it worked at Mania. That
was a hell of a match I had.

The thing I wore when we wrestled in
Boston the first time. Yeah. Which one?

one on the left, far left.

Man, some things just never change.
Never.

Never, ever.

Those opposites actually come together
and make the whole thing. Thank you.

Thank you, buddy.

All those years ago, when I decided that
wrestling was what I wanted to do, did

I ever imagine that there would be a
Hall of Fame and that I would be

into it? I wouldn't be where I am today
without all the people,

not only that helped me in the ring, but
outside of it.

It came.

Our story stretches over two decades as
the Brothers of Destruction.

The greatest wrestling story ever told.

It's so much more than just two guys in
a wrestling ring. It was these themes

that all of us could relate to.

I think it's one of those things, like,
every once in a while, a high school

drama teacher 50 years from now is going
to show their kids a compilation of

Kane vs. The Undertaker, and they're
going to talk about the elements that

that storyline so successful.

I think those stories will have to be
passed down to where kids 20 years from

now will say, my dad used to tell me
about, you know, Kane and The Undertaker

and what they used to do to be so...

enthralled and so interested in that
rivalry, that'll be truly an honor.
