1 00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:07,218 That's gotta be Kane! 2 00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:08,720 That's gotta be Kane! 3 00:00:09,980 --> 00:00:14,520 What a beautiful family portrait this is! 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,740 The Kane -Undertaker rivalry, it's the best story that WWE's ever told. The 5 00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:25,720 layers of the story out of the gate were so, so rich. 6 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,720 The Undertaker and Kane have just beat the hell out of each other. 7 00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:31,580 That made you have the Joker. 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,820 With Undertaker, you have Kane. 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,960 The characters are inextricably linked. Without Undertaker, there never would 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,960 have been a Kane. 11 00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:46,880 Wanting to see the whole two go at it is like wanting to see your favorite 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,880 horror movie. 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,000 They didn't even have to say anything to get you so invested into their 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000 characters. 15 00:00:55,540 --> 00:01:00,700 You don't get much bigger than Undertaker and Kane in WWE history. 16 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:02,620 They have done... 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,900 Incredible things with stories, with their character evolving each other. 18 00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:11,780 Crazy, crazy storytelling. And the matches kind of went right along with 19 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:17,700 Time to walk straight through the fires of hell to face you, Kane. 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,380 That rivalry has just escalated into a war. 21 00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:30,100 When two legends collide, their rivalry stays pinned in our minds forever. 22 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,920 This is where we break down the legendary stories behind the greatest 23 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,920 of all time. 24 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,640 I'm Freddie Prinze Jr., and this is WWE Rivals. 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:52,560 Undertaker, Kane, two of the very best. They both terrified me. And 26 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,060 for me, wrestling has always been the... 27 00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:02,360 purest definition of art. It's the literal blood, sweat, and tears of the 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,720 on an actual canvas, which is the inside of the ring. And these two may have 29 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,720 done it better than anyone. 30 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:12,160 In some cases, they did more than blood, sweat, and tears. There was even 31 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,180 burning flesh in one of their matches. 32 00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:18,520 When I say these names, what's the first thing that pops in your head? 33 00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:22,480 Taker alone, I mean, I think probably the most iconic character. 34 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,340 I remember, you know, Working with him early in his career, every time you 35 00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:30,920 knocked him down, he sat right up. 36 00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:35,260 And the first time he worked with him, it was just like being on the top of 37 00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:37,200 Everest without oxygen. 38 00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:42,480 You look at a guy like Kane, you look at a guy like Taker, and you look at how 39 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,800 many boxes they check off, and it's like, okay, I can't be satisfied with 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,840 able just to wear one hat. 41 00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,280 I've got to be able to do it all if I want to get to that level. 42 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,120 I was very excited just by the name Undertaker. I had no clue what it meant, 43 00:02:57,220 --> 00:03:03,600 what it was. It wasn't until I got up to Stanford and saw the storyboards 44 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,360 of Vincent's vision of this character. And then I kind of realized, I just fell 45 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,360 in love with it. 46 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,440 From Death Valley, I give you The Undertaker. 47 00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:19,820 A man named Pete. 48 00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:24,890 This is when the story starts, because they introduced me as Kane the 49 00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:27,430 Undertaker. We ended up dropping the Kane. 50 00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:32,830 Little did we know in 1990 that that was going to come back into play. 51 00:03:36,230 --> 00:03:42,370 Those slow, 52 00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:46,970 methodical movements, the way he carried himself, the composure. 53 00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:52,450 But let's just talk about athletic prowess here. This guy standing, walking 54 00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:57,550 the top floor. Look at the power. The Undertaker ruling the ring here. 55 00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:05,010 Everything was by design and with so much self -restraint. Truly a work of 56 00:04:05,050 --> 00:04:10,190 And I can say for sure there's nobody that could have pulled off that 57 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:12,190 like Mark Calloway at all. 58 00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:27,220 And it began and stopped with Mark and just the way his personality is as 59 00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:32,680 a man, as a person, was totally perfect for that character. 60 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080 The time has come. 61 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,860 As my Undertaker puts the final touches on your coffin. 62 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,800 You've got a mortician that could manage the Undertaker. And that character of 63 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,460 the Undertaker was so special. 64 00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:52,770 You needed a complete package. You needed someone to speak for him. You 65 00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:56,130 someone to present him and to be with him all the time. 66 00:04:56,570 --> 00:04:58,270 And it was a match made in heaven. 67 00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:02,670 The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. 68 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:08,710 Paul Bearer enhanced Undertaker by being able to verbalize what the Undertaker 69 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:10,490 would think and or say and or feel. 70 00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:16,770 People wouldn't even come up to me. They would come up to Paul Bearer and they 71 00:05:16,770 --> 00:05:18,230 would actually say the word. 72 00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:19,620 He really did. 73 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,540 As crazy as that sounds, I didn't switch off from Mark Calloway to Undertaker. 74 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,100 Even when I was in public, although I didn't wear the full Undertaker garb, my 75 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:36,420 clothes were all black. Always had, you know, black hats and black shades. 76 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,180 I lived it. 77 00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:44,060 Speaking of morbid, look at Paul Bearer. Look at the pressing around here. I 78 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:46,460 felt naked without having anything in my hands. 79 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,040 So I had to have something in my hand. 80 00:05:49,380 --> 00:05:51,320 I thought about it, thought about it. 81 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:55,120 All of a sudden, an urn popped in my head. 82 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,680 What about an urn? 83 00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:02,760 He draws power from that urn. There's something in there that motivates this 84 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,560 man. Those little things just made that character so strong, throwing lightning 85 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,560 bolts. 86 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,460 The fire and all that just added to this guy. He is the spawn of the devil. 87 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,600 And it's amazing the input that I would get from people. 88 00:06:20,860 --> 00:06:25,300 And of all people, like the baby face of all baby faces, Ricky Steamboat. He 89 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:26,640 goes, you know what would be really cool? 90 00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:30,800 Like after you beat somebody, stuff them in a body bag and carry them out. 91 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,260 I'm like, yeah. 92 00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:37,440 On the one hand, it should have been cartoonish because you have this idea 93 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,720 he's a dead man who's out there wrestling. 94 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,280 But he did it so well and it was so convincing that I was like, oh my gosh, 95 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,780 is cool creepy. 96 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,060 He's actually my favorite WWE superstar before I got into WWE as a fan. 97 00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:08,500 I'm in the live Raw with The Undertaker. The lights go down, the purple haze 98 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:09,199 comes up. 99 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,340 Dong, dong, and lighters go everywhere. 100 00:07:11,580 --> 00:07:14,400 And I just remember thinking, oh, my God, this is the coolest thing I've ever 101 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,580 seen. And I'm sitting there just like a fan watching it. And I'm in the ring 102 00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:21,900 waiting on him. And, you know, nobody's looking at me. The whole arena's looking 103 00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,860 at him. The Undertaker, ladies and gentlemen. 104 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,080 People bought it. 105 00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:31,240 Everybody loved that guy. One of the superstars right behind Paul Bearer, the 106 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,160 giant Undertaker. 107 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,160 You have to adapt with the times. You have to change. 108 00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:44,420 After five or six years, there was a feeling that maybe Paul Bearer was 109 00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:45,880 Undertaker back a little bit. 110 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,880 How could The Undertaker possibly understand what has happened here? 111 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,920 And for Taker to take the next step in the evolution of that character, we 112 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,500 needed to hear from The Undertaker. 113 00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:02,400 We needed to hear from him more. 114 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,000 And if you're going to hear from The Undertaker more... 115 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Do you really need a manager with him? 116 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,980 We needed an opponent 117 00:08:15,980 --> 00:08:17,880 for The Undertaker. 118 00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:22,120 And looking at the roster, there was nobody that was a threat. 119 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680 There wasn't a monster that you could match up with The Undertaker. 120 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:28,800 First man to ever commit murder was Kane. 121 00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:30,620 Killed his brother Abel. 122 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,940 Simple story, everyone knows it. 123 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,440 What if... 124 00:08:35,980 --> 00:08:37,360 The undertaker had a brother. 125 00:08:38,260 --> 00:08:39,460 No one knew this. 126 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:42,760 His brother's name was Cain. 127 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,820 We're going to have to go back a few years. 128 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:52,800 We're talking about a little funeral home sitting up on a hill, beautiful 129 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,760 old trees all around, and a wonderful, wonderful family -owned funeral home. 130 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,280 There was this horrible fire that Cain was in inside the house. 131 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,020 Maybe Undertaker set the dam. 132 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,300 And his baby brother perished in the fire. So he thought. 133 00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:17,660 And the one person that knew that his brother was alive and had been taking 134 00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:22,040 of his brother this entire time was Paul Bearer. 135 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,080 So we told the story over six months. 136 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,680 Well, I kept insisting that Cain was alive. 137 00:09:38,730 --> 00:09:41,630 Paul tells his side of the story. I took care of him. 138 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:48,690 He was burned. He was maimed. He was left for dead, but I brought him to 139 00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:54,410 life. I showed him the love and the care that you as his blood never did. 140 00:09:55,010 --> 00:10:01,290 And now Paul had in his mind a reason to bring Cain back. 141 00:10:02,110 --> 00:10:04,490 And now he wants one thing. 142 00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:07,610 Revenge. He's coming! 143 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,360 It's coming! 144 00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:11,220 Get him! 145 00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:21,340 Who else is Undertaker going to wrestle? Who else can give him a legitimate 146 00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:24,240 fight at this point? He's literally fought everyone. 147 00:10:37,710 --> 00:10:42,030 When I found out that I was going to be The Undertaker's brother, I realized 148 00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:43,390 that that was my big break. 149 00:10:44,250 --> 00:10:46,670 I was extremely excited for Glenn. 150 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:50,030 I knew this was going to be the one for him. 151 00:10:50,730 --> 00:10:53,150 The story was just so good. 152 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:57,480 I saw a rendering, and initially I was like, man, this is not what I had in 153 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,300 mind. I talked to Mark, and neither of us thought that this was what Kane would 154 00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:05,640 look like because we thought that Kane would be kind of like a Jason Voorhees 155 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,600 he's escaped from an institution and would have that kind of look. And I 156 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,600 to Vince about it. 157 00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:15,780 He was like, okay, Kane takes a lot of pride in his appearance because he's 158 00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:17,040 jealous of The Undertaker. 159 00:11:17,540 --> 00:11:21,060 He wants to look like a superhero because he wants to be better than The 160 00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:24,960 Undertaker. And I was like, man, okay, you're really, really smart about this 161 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:25,960 stuff. 162 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,700 WWE had a ring set up in the warehouse in Sanford, Connecticut. 163 00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:31,060 So I went up there. 164 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:37,140 Vince wanted Kane to be the anti -Undertaker. So it was a lot of his same 165 00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:39,020 I was able to incorporate some of my own as well. 166 00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,300 I even had to practice doing the sit -up because I couldn't do the sit -up quite 167 00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:45,300 like Undertaker. 168 00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:12,050 Bad Blood was going to be the blow -off match between Shawn and I. Two men 169 00:12:12,050 --> 00:12:13,330 enter, one man leaves. 170 00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:18,850 The cell itself just came as an idea of wanting to have something bigger than 171 00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:20,030 just a regular cage match. 172 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:23,870 We're just talking about trying to get some kind of cage that's different than 173 00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:25,630 the regular ones. Maybe it has a top. 174 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:30,580 And then what the WWE always does is they just take... something so small, 175 00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:32,680 then make it so much more grandiose. 176 00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,320 This is not a good time to be Shawn Michaels. 177 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,640 No, indeed not, as the official padlocking the chain. 178 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:45,680 We were in the midst of a great, great match, kind of finalizing our story. 179 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,600 Michaels is getting beat to a pulp by The Undertaker. 180 00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:56,260 All eyes shifted to that and forgot about the Kane thing. 181 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,180 There was just a number of things that fell into place that when you look back 182 00:13:01,180 --> 00:13:03,900 on it, it made it all perfect for that situation. 183 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,940 I have never seen anything like this in my life. 184 00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:10,880 At one point, my thought was, man, I just hope I don't mess this match up 185 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,880 because it was so good. 186 00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:13,980 If you're not nervous, something's wrong. 187 00:13:14,380 --> 00:13:18,880 You should be nervous. You should have that butterfly feeling in your stomach. 188 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,440 And this was Kane's big chance. 189 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Just when you think, you know, we've done everything we could. 190 00:13:26,460 --> 00:13:31,040 Beat the living crap out of Sean, and all I got to do is covering. 191 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,020 Oh, my God. 192 00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:35,020 It's all over. 193 00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:36,620 Boom. 194 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:45,180 The lights went out, and bam, and the music hit, and the crowd had no idea 195 00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:49,260 was going on. You could hear a pin drop. There's like 15 ,000 people in the 196 00:13:49,260 --> 00:13:52,640 arena there in St. Louis, and they weren't making any noise. They're like, 197 00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:54,420 is this a mess up? Did they lose power? 198 00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:55,620 What happened? 199 00:13:56,270 --> 00:13:59,270 Oh, my God. Wait a minute. It's Paul Bearer. 200 00:14:00,430 --> 00:14:01,850 It's Paul Bearer. 201 00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:06,750 And there's this giant roar, and I'm actually getting goosebumps talking 202 00:14:06,750 --> 00:14:11,650 it. And the audience realized, oh, that's the guy that everybody's been 203 00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:12,650 about. 204 00:14:12,830 --> 00:14:15,570 That's got to be Kane. 205 00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:17,450 That's got to be Kane. 206 00:14:19,870 --> 00:14:23,270 They're the size of this human being. Or is that a human being? 207 00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:37,860 The Undertaker's in a cage, and Kane comes out, and he physically rips the 208 00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:39,740 door off of the cage. 209 00:14:40,020 --> 00:14:45,660 And it looked so legit, and they constantly built these two monsters. 210 00:14:46,140 --> 00:14:51,200 And you can't say monsters that much in WWE, because there's been so few of them 211 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,940 that have been able to accomplish what both of these guys accomplished. 212 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,640 That's got to be Kane, the Undertaker, looking at him, looking to the eye. 213 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:04,000 Of that giant who stands in front of him. 214 00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:08,260 That's the thing about them, though, is that they don't have to do very much. 215 00:15:08,620 --> 00:15:13,120 And you can do just a little bit that you do in that ring, and they capture it 216 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,460 just by staring. 217 00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:22,140 There's Kane, and he stands there. And then I think it's probably one of my 218 00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:23,160 reactions ever. 219 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,220 Because you can see in the guy that doesn't sell anything, that doesn't. 220 00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:31,050 You know, you can cut his arm off and he's not going to win. 221 00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:35,330 But you can see it in my eyes, which you would never see that kind of a 222 00:15:35,330 --> 00:15:41,190 confused, almost fear -like look in my eyes. It was, holy crap, 223 00:15:41,510 --> 00:15:44,710 this is my brother that I thought was dead. 224 00:15:44,950 --> 00:15:48,470 And it was just so powerful of a moment. 225 00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,860 It was the first time you ever saw, and I don't want to say fear, and for the 226 00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:04,160 first time you see some type of humanity in The Undertaker, and you're not sure 227 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,180 what it is, but it's something you had never seen before. And it meant 228 00:16:07,180 --> 00:16:09,860 something, because I was about to say that, because you'd never, because you 229 00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:11,620 saved it for the perfect foil. 230 00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:17,360 It was just magic, and you could feel it from the very start. 231 00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:20,880 And of course, Undertaker, he would come out and raise the lights by throwing 232 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,340 his hands up, so Kane threw his hands down. 233 00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:26,860 Hold on! 234 00:16:27,530 --> 00:16:32,750 And then we blew all four pyros off of the post, and then it's hellfire and 235 00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:38,190 brimstone that he's bringing. So you have the good and the evil, and it was 236 00:16:38,190 --> 00:16:40,830 all of it just worked so well. 237 00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:45,730 It was the first time I had that feeling of, man, that was it. 238 00:16:46,210 --> 00:16:50,950 It was almost like, well, you just hit a home run in the World Series, right? 239 00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:53,570 And you're going, so that's what that feels like. 240 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,960 I never felt that way in my wrestling career up until that point. 241 00:16:57,420 --> 00:17:02,380 The Undertaker driven down to the canvas and listen to this response. 242 00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:10,480 To pay it off with Kane and how huge he was and how ominous he looked, it was 243 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,480 just magic. 244 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,079 John Michaels has defeated The Undertaker. No, no, no, no, no, wait a 245 00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:20,380 Kane has defeated The Undertaker. 246 00:17:20,619 --> 00:17:23,359 The emotions of that night was just... 247 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,099 For the first time, I actually felt like I was a WWE superstar. 248 00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:31,700 It was just so written. 249 00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:36,200 There were so many levels to this story. 250 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,080 I will never fight my own flesh and blood. 251 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,140 I will never fight Kane. 252 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:51,160 Now you've got somebody that I would undertake, even bigger than The 253 00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:55,510 And everything initially just was perfect. 254 00:17:56,750 --> 00:18:03,490 We are going to take each wrestler one by one and destroy them 255 00:18:03,490 --> 00:18:05,750 until we reach you. 256 00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:08,950 You go out there and you're destroying everybody in the roster. 257 00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:12,690 I don't know. And you're going to have Undertaker there at the end of the 258 00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:14,870 journey. You realize it's going to be a big deal. 259 00:18:15,770 --> 00:18:19,650 One more chance to be a man for all. 260 00:18:20,170 --> 00:18:26,530 leeches of the night you must face your brother oh 261 00:18:26,530 --> 00:18:31,530 man how much more of this will the undertaker take 262 00:18:31,530 --> 00:18:38,130 maybe not much more came with 263 00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:43,530 almost to a tee just like him and he wore a mask so he's even more mysterious 264 00:18:43,530 --> 00:18:46,930 and he's Like a super jacked human being. Like it's scary. 265 00:18:47,130 --> 00:18:50,910 But to see those two face off, just looking at each other, same height, same 266 00:18:50,910 --> 00:18:53,330 everything. It was a match that I couldn't wait to see. 267 00:18:53,910 --> 00:19:00,330 You have these two just supernatural type characters, Kane and 268 00:19:00,330 --> 00:19:01,330 Undertaker. 269 00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:08,110 And I think it felt so real because they were brothers. 270 00:19:08,570 --> 00:19:10,750 The two brothers looking eye to eye. 271 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:13,630 What must the Undertaker be thinking right now? 272 00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:19,470 Sibling rivalries. I mean, my daughters have it, and so does Undertaker and 273 00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:24,290 Kane. It was real life being displayed in an exaggerated way. 274 00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:29,990 It all started from day one, and then just the levels of story that we put on 275 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:35,490 it. The Undertaker's walking away in the thought that he will never, ever fight 276 00:19:35,490 --> 00:19:36,650 his brother Kane. 277 00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:42,850 Before Kane, of course there's other big guys that Undertaker faced, but he 278 00:19:42,850 --> 00:19:44,310 pretty much demolished all of his opponents. 279 00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:50,170 Now here you have his brother Kane, who not only is a monster himself, but it's 280 00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:54,170 his brother. He knows The Undertaker. He knows what he's thinking. He thinks a 281 00:19:54,170 --> 00:19:57,270 lot alike like The Undertaker does. You just didn't know which way it was going 282 00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:57,809 to go. 283 00:19:57,810 --> 00:20:03,730 There's an element of like, okay, I understand this. So as silly as the 284 00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:05,410 storyline might be, 285 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:12,320 That happens on a lower level, like on a daily basis. At the crux of this 286 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:18,060 storyline is the brother who did something terrible and blamed his little 287 00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:23,240 brother for it. So there's an element of relatability here, right? Who can't 288 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,240 relate to that, right? 289 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Who can't relate to blaming your brother for a murder? 290 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,620 That's where the entertainment factor comes in. 291 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,460 You can't relate to the fact that The Undertaker's a dead man and he's out 292 00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:38,419 specifically dominant. 293 00:20:38,420 --> 00:20:44,560 You can't relate to the fact that Kane is basically insane from years of being 294 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,680 locked away and somehow controls fire. 295 00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:51,880 But what you can relate to is they're brothers that have a sibling rivalry 296 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,700 that's gone on and is festering for many, many years. That's the stuff of 297 00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:01,500 stories. And I think it helped people relate to these characters that 298 00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:05,450 would have been Unbelievable and just completely over the top and out of the 299 00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:07,910 realm of any sort of human possibility. 300 00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:15,050 Shawn Michaels and Undertaker casket match at Royal Rumble. 301 00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:48,150 The entire world thought that Kane was in Undertaker's corner, and then it just 302 00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:50,430 completely pulled the rug out from under him. 303 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:54,510 The Undertaker and the casket! Michael shut the lid! 304 00:21:55,010 --> 00:21:59,450 I thought that the Undertaker and Kane had reconciled their differences! 305 00:22:00,010 --> 00:22:01,010 And my God! 306 00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:02,890 The casket's on fire! 307 00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:04,730 The casket's on fire! 308 00:22:05,530 --> 00:22:06,770 Well, this is hideous. 309 00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:10,130 I already knew that we were going to go to WrestleMania. 310 00:22:10,490 --> 00:22:14,700 But for the most part, the storyline had been that Undertaker, was avoiding Kane 311 00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:18,960 because he didn't want to hurt him. He was his little brother, right? And Kane 312 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,700 had finally provoked him to the point the Undertaker's hot. 313 00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:28,640 WrestleMania 14, I will strike down upon thee with 314 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,880 anger and furious vengeance. 315 00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:39,820 To me, he's one of the greatest characters, if not the greatest 316 00:22:39,820 --> 00:22:40,940 has ever invented. 317 00:22:41,370 --> 00:22:46,730 And now Kane has to come out and match that and be equal to Undertaker. There's 318 00:22:46,730 --> 00:22:48,630 no one that could have done that except Glenn Jacobs. 319 00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:51,970 From Boston, it's WrestleMania 14! 320 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:58,770 I went with a bunch of my high school buddies, and, you know, we were huge 321 00:22:58,770 --> 00:23:03,390 then. And we didn't have good seats at all. Our backs were literally up against 322 00:23:03,390 --> 00:23:05,670 the wall, like way, way in the back. 323 00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:08,850 I remember, like, Kane would come out in the fire. 324 00:23:09,130 --> 00:23:14,040 You could feel the heat all the way up in the back. You know, you literally 325 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,280 the heat almost like you were going to get burned. It was so incredibly hot. 326 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,980 know, watching the culmination of that, that few of them finally getting to 327 00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:23,980 touch. 328 00:23:43,370 --> 00:23:47,330 WrestleMania is where Undertaker is going to set his little brother 329 00:23:47,470 --> 00:23:50,310 It's about time because Kane put it to me pretty good. 330 00:23:50,670 --> 00:23:52,550 Two seven -foot monsters. 331 00:23:52,830 --> 00:23:55,230 What a hellacious matchup this is going to be. 332 00:23:56,530 --> 00:23:59,650 This is the first time that Undertaker and Kane had really fought. 333 00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:03,710 I mean, there had been some skirmishes along the way, but for the most part, 334 00:24:03,770 --> 00:24:07,890 this is not written in stone. The Undertakers are going to this match and 335 00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:09,170 The Undertaker! 336 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,080 Kane added so much to Undertaker's career. 337 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,580 And I understand also these are the two most liked guys in the history of the 338 00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:27,280 business. You know, we're sitting back there at WrestleMania 14. I tagged with 339 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,760 Glenn Jacobs in Europe before we both made it to WWE. 340 00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:35,300 I'm sitting there just wanting him to do well. You know, everybody is. We're 341 00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:38,540 rooting for these guys. You know, they knock it out of the park. We're ecstatic 342 00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:41,180 about it.

Yes, Kane 388 00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:30,160 just leveled his brother. 389 00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:34,200 It was pretty hairy in there, man. 390 00:27:34,660 --> 00:27:39,500 What most people didn't realize was that all those flames going up is just 391 00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:41,440 sucking all the oxygen out. 392 00:27:41,850 --> 00:27:48,070 of the ring why play with fire and we all eventually get burned 393 00:27:48,070 --> 00:27:51,810 the 394 00:27:51,810 --> 00:27:58,750 attitude era i think 395 00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:03,730 it was not only the most unique time in wwe but really in entertainment i mean 396 00:28:03,730 --> 00:28:10,310 we were not only top of the wrestling world i mean we were on top of the 397 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:15,370 entertainment world When you look at characters and individuals who have very 398 00:28:15,370 --> 00:28:18,410 successful long careers in WWE, they've been able to reinvent themselves. 399 00:28:18,610 --> 00:28:20,130 Undertaker is a great example of that. 400 00:28:20,570 --> 00:28:24,690 As great as the Undertaker character is, there were a lot of parameters, a lot 401 00:28:24,690 --> 00:28:27,350 of things that I couldn't do because of the character. 402 00:28:27,930 --> 00:28:30,950 I think the character would have survived, but I don't think it would 403 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:35,830 continued to grow if I hadn't moved away from the traditional Undertaker. 404 00:28:48,910 --> 00:28:53,810 The American Badass kind of, it freed me up. I was able to keep a few of the 405 00:28:53,810 --> 00:28:59,130 nuances of the old character, but I was able to move it into the mainstream. 406 00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:02,450 Here comes the real American Badass! 407 00:29:02,730 --> 00:29:04,010 The Undertaker! 408 00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:09,710 It was good for me because it allowed me to work differently for a while, to 409 00:29:09,710 --> 00:29:11,870 think creatively in a different sense. 410 00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:23,700 Instead of remaining enemies, we get the most powerful tag team that's ever 411 00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:28,280 existed. I mean, their name is literally the Brothers of Destruction. 412 00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:35,080 When they decided to start tag teaming together as the Brothers of Destruction, 413 00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:42,000 when you see two guys that cool coming down to the ring and nobody can 414 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,040 really affect them as the Brothers of Destruction, Yeah, you fear the hell out 415 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,660 of them, but it's so cool. You respect the hell out of them. 416 00:29:52,340 --> 00:29:57,880 The Brothers of Destruction was really the logical conclusion, our logical 417 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,460 destination of the journey that we've been on. The brothers, side by side. Oh, 418 00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:03,460 my gosh. 419 00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:05,220 Double toe slam. 420 00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:10,000 Undertaker and Kane, the Brothers of Destruction. 421 00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:14,720 The WWE audience had always wanted this to get together, and you could tell it. 422 00:30:15,070 --> 00:30:21,430 They were dominant individual characters, so they'd be even more 423 00:30:21,430 --> 00:30:22,349 tag team. 424 00:30:22,350 --> 00:30:28,230 These brothers united, and by God, when they're together, hell has no fury like 425 00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:29,230 these two. 426 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:33,670 Oh, my gosh. When the Brothers of Destruction came about, it was like, 427 00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:34,930 going to beat these guys? Nobody. 428 00:30:35,470 --> 00:30:36,470 Take it up they go. 429 00:30:36,890 --> 00:30:39,530 Don't stand by the Brothers of Destruction. 430 00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:42,550 No one can touch Kane and Undertaker. Are you kidding me? 431 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,920 Are we going to set up the Hardy Boys or Edge and Christian or Dudley's? No. 432 00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:51,880 The Brothers of Destruction. They're going to take out every single tag team 433 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,700 there is to take out. And they did. 434 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,320 Is there anyone that can stand up to the Brothers of Destruction? 435 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,860 Not in this galaxy. 436 00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:06,100 You're in the locker room and enjoying the camaraderie of other people that do 437 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,180 what you do. We're a very unique group. 438 00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:14,780 I don't know if I necessarily ever had time to stop and think, wow, you know, 439 00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:18,920 this is really special. I wish I could have. I wish I would have had time to 440 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,920 savor it more. 441 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,380 But that's just the nature of the beast. 442 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,320 I mean, it was so cool because I know that I got to really help Glenn come 443 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,940 to his own and help make him what he would turn into, which is on him because 444 00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:35,000 worked his tail off. 445 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,280 It was fun to add evolution to Kane, because you realize at some point that 446 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,480 silent guy in the mask can only go so far. 447 00:31:44,740 --> 00:31:49,640 While the mask, of course, is an amazing tool in that it provides this mystique 448 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,780 and makes the character very unique, there's also some shortcomings. 449 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,700 People can't see your face, and they don't know quite what the emotions are, 450 00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:00,120 there's only so much you can do before it gets old. So I thought the character 451 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,120 had gotten stale. 452 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,940 He's going to do it, JR! He's going to do it! What is it going to look like? 453 00:32:08,580 --> 00:32:11,620 I remember him taking off his mask for the first time. 454 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,600 It was like, oh, my gosh, like everyone wanted to see that. I don't care if you 455 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,740 are a wrestling fan or not. You knew who Kane was and you wanted to be watching 456 00:32:20,740 --> 00:32:24,360 Monday Night Raw because you wanted to see what was going to happen. 457 00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:26,720 We've always speculated. Here it comes. 458 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,820 I don't know if we want to see that. Yeah, I do want to see it. 459 00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:31,660 Oh, my God. 460 00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:33,600 What the hell is that? 461 00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:34,960 Is that a human? 462 00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:44,970 We've always speculated. Here it comes. 463 00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:48,110 I don't know if we want to see that. Yeah, I do want to see it. 464 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:49,910 Oh, my God. 465 00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:51,890 What the hell is that? 466 00:32:52,150 --> 00:32:53,290 Is that a human? 467 00:32:54,210 --> 00:32:58,750 This cane was actually the scariest of them all because he is a psychological 468 00:32:58,750 --> 00:33:02,670 monster. You find out that the scars that he's covering up, they're actually 469 00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:04,150 the inside. They're not on the outside. 470 00:33:05,230 --> 00:33:10,150 That made the character much more alluring to me because as much as the 471 00:33:10,150 --> 00:33:13,890 Kane was about psychology, this one even more so. 472 00:33:14,530 --> 00:33:20,930 Tonight, I will once again feast on fear and suffering. 473 00:33:21,310 --> 00:33:24,910 Kane is no doubt a living, breathing monster. 474 00:33:26,270 --> 00:33:28,330 Sadistic and twisted and mean. 475 00:33:28,650 --> 00:33:31,090 I'm not going to do what they want. 476 00:33:31,630 --> 00:33:32,630 Now what? 477 00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:34,090 I do. 478 00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:35,339 What I want. 479 00:33:35,340 --> 00:33:41,520 There is nothing that can stop me. 480 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,160 He was smart enough to reinvent his character when he needed to. 481 00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:51,620 And it didn't matter in which direction I went, which direction Kane went. 482 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:58,380 We could not touch each other for a year. And still, boom, just like that, 483 00:33:58,380 --> 00:34:02,720 put those two back together. And people were just like, oh, yeah. 484 00:34:12,940 --> 00:34:17,679 I'm going back to the more traditional, but now I'm bringing a lot of the 485 00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:24,179 American badass wrestling style with it and trying to make it all work within 486 00:34:24,179 --> 00:34:28,260 the capsule of the traditional Undertaker. It 487 00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:35,239 was what's old is now new again, but 488 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,840 there's more substance now to what you get in the ring. 489 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,320 That just breathed new life in for both of us, because even though they had the 490 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,500 same history, the characters were different than the first time they met. 491 00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:55,020 And that made it really alluring and different. It wasn't just a rehash. It 492 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:56,260 literally something brand new. 493 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,340 It was exciting. 494 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,360 Lord knows Kane deserves what he got at WrestleMania 20. 495 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,960 He kind of went too far, and Big Brother had to put Little Brother back in his 496 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,960 place. 497 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:14,330 It's the story that's important. 498 00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:19,410 You know, we're sitting here talking about the rivalry of Taker and Kane and 499 00:35:19,410 --> 00:35:20,910 they were able to do that for so long. 500 00:35:21,390 --> 00:35:23,250 We don't talk about the win -loss percentage. 501 00:35:23,590 --> 00:35:26,330 Taker won, I think, 75 % of the matches. 502 00:35:27,450 --> 00:35:28,450 Kane won 25. 503 00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:31,990 Like, by the numbers, you would think that you would lose interest. 504 00:35:32,370 --> 00:35:35,950 But you were still interested and you wanted to see it every single time 505 00:35:35,950 --> 00:35:38,070 of their ability to be able to tell that story. 506 00:35:39,970 --> 00:35:43,710 With Undertaker and Kane, it hit close to home with a lot of fans because 507 00:35:43,710 --> 00:35:45,570 brothers aren't always going to get along. 508 00:35:45,950 --> 00:35:47,790 And they're going to have fights and quarrels. 509 00:35:48,090 --> 00:35:49,970 And they're going to have mountains and valleys. 510 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:52,050 And I think people relate to that. 511 00:35:53,650 --> 00:35:57,410 When you're with anybody, you know, 300 plus days a year, you become family 512 00:35:57,410 --> 00:35:58,410 whether you like it or not. 513 00:35:58,650 --> 00:36:02,490 And they legitimately are like brothers. You know, they're that close. 514 00:36:02,770 --> 00:36:06,090 And it's actually funny. So many people in our extended family thought they were 515 00:36:06,090 --> 00:36:08,090 brothers. Like at our wedding, they're like, you know. 516 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,840 Your other four brothers are here, but where's Cain? We're like, um, he's not 517 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,820 really, you know, a real brother. But they're super close. They're great 518 00:36:16,820 --> 00:36:23,440 friends. Glenn is such a good person, intelligent person, well -studied, 519 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,720 you know. You don't get all that. All you get is Cain off of TV, right? But 520 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:31,920 have no idea. You have to be able to trust the character of the human being. 521 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,160 And when you do, that frees you up to... 522 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,600 do business in a grand way. 523 00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:44,860 He's always been there for me, and he's always wanted Kane to be the equal of 524 00:36:44,860 --> 00:36:45,819 The Undertaker. 525 00:36:45,820 --> 00:36:49,900 Kane has defeated his brother! 526 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,880 Here are two guys. They have a legendary feud. 527 00:36:55,140 --> 00:37:00,180 You don't know how in God's name we can possibly up the ante. It's like, I know. 528 00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:01,660 Buried alive. 529 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,400 Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Buried Alive match. 530 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,920 Now the only way to win this match is to put your opponent inside the grave, 531 00:37:13,060 --> 00:37:18,900 covering his body completely with dirt, burying him alive. 532 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:23,520 He's an undertaker. He buries the opposition. 533 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,800 It's not just a period at the end of the sentence, it's an exclamation point. 534 00:37:28,590 --> 00:37:35,030 And for Kane, an opportunity to bury the years of frustration of living in his 535 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:38,930 brother's shadow. And Undertaker, wasting little time starting this 536 00:37:40,030 --> 00:37:46,150 You can just sense it, that these two literally want to destroy each other. I 537 00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:50,410 think both Undertaker and Kane knew they had the opportunity to do something 538 00:37:50,410 --> 00:37:53,330 special. That is thick as Undertaker! 539 00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:57,710 Kane going for a chokeslam here to The Undertaker. And he delivers. 540 00:37:57,930 --> 00:38:00,110 Yes, Kane almost carrying The Undertaker with ease. 541 00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:07,490 Kane has completely dominated his brother, The Undertaker. 542 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:11,610 He had never really beaten me in any big pay -per -view. 543 00:38:12,370 --> 00:38:16,070 If he was going to be a legitimate champion, he had to beat his brother. 544 00:38:16,610 --> 00:38:19,770 The saga is over. 545 00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:21,810 My brother. 546 00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:25,470 is never coming back. 547 00:38:36,650 --> 00:38:40,550 Mark and I did often talk in our later years about retirement. 548 00:38:41,390 --> 00:38:48,290 And it is difficult because you're used to a certain lifestyle where you're in 549 00:38:48,290 --> 00:38:49,290 the spotlight all the time. 550 00:38:56,410 --> 00:38:59,490 People after a while are like, man, I want the old Undertaker back. 551 00:38:59,730 --> 00:39:00,730 I want the old Kane back. 552 00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:03,450 And so that nostalgia kicked in. 553 00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:08,390 Through the course of 20 years, it's just like you go right back to it. 554 00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:17,510 And that's special because there's so much content. 555 00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:21,480 And there's so many different characters and there's so many different people 556 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,200 that come and they go. But those are two constants. 557 00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:30,800 And that story of those two guys together, I would say that that, as far 558 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,440 storytelling, I don't think it'll ever be matched. 559 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,820 You know, when you look at rivalries, like the earliest in my childhood was 560 00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:39,820 Ali Frazier. 561 00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,860 And, you know, like nobody ever saw Ali get beat. 562 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,420 And you watch that and, you know, you almost take it the same way as you 563 00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:53,580 knew on any given night it could be Kane's night. They say no one's bigger 564 00:39:53,580 --> 00:39:54,299 the business. 565 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:58,560 But every once in a while, there's someone that's so special. A Tiger Woods 566 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,260 bigger than golf. There have been football players bigger than the game. 567 00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:06,460 have been boxers, Muhammad Ali, bigger than boxing. And then there's Undertaker 568 00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:07,460 and Kane. 569 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:16,940 Being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame is the greatest honor of my career. 570 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:25,320 Of course, I would be remiss if on behalf of Kane, I didn't thank his WWE 571 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,320 family. 572 00:40:26,660 --> 00:40:31,000 Kane's daddy, Paul Bearer, and his brother, The Undertaker. 573 00:40:33,220 --> 00:40:36,020 Mark Calloway was always a huge advocate of mine. 574 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,840 He saw value in me as a performer. 575 00:40:40,810 --> 00:40:46,070 He was the person that really motivated me to believe in myself and get myself 576 00:40:46,070 --> 00:40:47,430 where I needed to be. 577 00:40:47,950 --> 00:40:53,270 And that's really just a testament to him in that your real legacy, maybe in 578 00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:57,450 some cases, is the opponents that you help create. 579 00:40:58,390 --> 00:40:59,390 Hey, Glenn. 580 00:40:59,750 --> 00:41:02,170 Is that the one? That's the one right there, man. 581 00:41:04,210 --> 00:41:08,330 You think about it. We're a Batman D without Joker. 582 00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:11,230 But where would Joker be without Batman, too? 583 00:41:11,730 --> 00:41:17,190 Thank goodness it worked at Mania. That was a hell of a match I had. 584 00:41:18,450 --> 00:41:24,170 The thing I wore when we wrestled in Boston the first time. Yeah. Which one? 585 00:41:24,170 --> 00:41:25,790 one on the left, far left. 586 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:28,590 Man, some things just never change. Never. 587 00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:30,569 Never, ever. 588 00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:34,830 Those opposites actually come together and make the whole thing. Thank you. 589 00:41:35,010 --> 00:41:36,010 Thank you, buddy. 590 00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:49,470 All those years ago, when I decided that wrestling was what I wanted to do, did 591 00:41:49,470 --> 00:41:53,090 I ever imagine that there would be a Hall of Fame and that I would be 592 00:41:53,090 --> 00:42:00,070 into it? I wouldn't be where I am today without all the people, 593 00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:03,890 not only that helped me in the ring, but outside of it. 594 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000 It came. 595 00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:12,760 Our story stretches over two decades as the Brothers of Destruction. 596 00:42:16,780 --> 00:42:19,680 The greatest wrestling story ever told. 597 00:42:21,260 --> 00:42:28,100 It's so much more than just two guys in a wrestling ring. It was these themes 598 00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:29,760 that all of us could relate to. 599 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,680 I think it's one of those things, like, every once in a while, a high school 600 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,240 drama teacher 50 years from now is going to show their kids a compilation of 601 00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:41,920 Kane vs. The Undertaker, and they're going to talk about the elements that 602 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,220 that storyline so successful. 603 00:42:44,780 --> 00:42:50,340 I think those stories will have to be passed down to where kids 20 years from 604 00:42:50,340 --> 00:42:54,840 now will say, my dad used to tell me about, you know, Kane and The Undertaker 605 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,360 and what they used to do to be so... 606 00:42:58,030 --> 00:43:04,850 enthralled and so interested in that rivalry, that'll be truly an honor.
