Paul Bearer doesnt get nearly the credit he deserves for getting BOTH Undertaker and Kane over the way he did. As the original Paul Bearer…the voice,the makeup,the urn,I dont even think Vince could have imagined that execution. He fit with Undertaker seamlessly. Then when he turned heel,he became this evil,fat,vindictive heel and the infamous promo being choked by Taker “KANE IS ALIIIIIVE. YOUR BROTHER IS ALIVE UNDERTAKERRRR” . Then when Kane didnt talk,Paul (or Percy) really got that backstory over and made what could’ve been so stupid and laughable,believable. Now that I fully appreciate his WORK,you can so much of him in Paul Heyman’s current style of managing. God Bless Percy Pringle,a legendary manager who deserves his flowers big time.

[@carter3369]

The promo he did on Raw the night after Kane’s debut is a great example

[@demetriushuffman7030]

Paul Bearer was an undertaker in his actual profession. That's why it was so good.

[@bluntforcetrauma2141]

Paul knew the trick to make a book go over. Every time.

[@brianmilici3473]

And the key was PERCY created that character and added those nuances after decades in the business. If you ever get the chance he was a great interview before he passed. RIP Percy Pringle.

[@metallicbigtoe3949]

A truly one of a kind talent.

[@drillosophy1012]

At this point, Corny doesn’t say “Shit Stain” in a malicious way. It comes off matter of factly, like it’s just Russo’s name.

[@AWX_Wrestling]

The Highest rated WWE Rivals that they could possibly do is Jim Cornette VS Vince Russo. I'm not sure there's enough printed money in existence to get Cornette to do it but it would be epic.

[@troystaunton254]

Jim would fight him for free.

[@christiankarlkarganilla2763]

Jim refuses to contribute to anything that can make Russo richer than he is even if it means fullfilling his promise to us when it comes to meeting Russo again.

[@specialk9424]

They could do it, but it would have to be on HBO, so Corny could cuss. Cause if we can't hear Corny call Russo a "Dirty motherfucking, shitstain, asswipe, piece of shit, dick licking, fuckwad", then what's the point in even doing it at all?

Bald unmasked Kane in the 2000s was still terrifying. I always thought he had the perfect face and eyes to convince us he was the same character

[@arthurdaffos1490]

Very few things have been good original booking ideas that nobody came up with in the last decades and rightfully so. Wrestling plays with the perception and the psychology of the crowd. you can alter the presentation and the flavour of things in order for them to remain fresh, but coming up with original ideas that nobody has come up with before without being too complicated or convulated is incredibly difficult, and i dont think that any booker nowadays have such genius that they Can pull this off.

[@MrCamp]

When you think about it, the real rivalry was Undertaker vs. Paul Bearer. When he first turned on Taker and aligned with Mankind and Vader against him, it became all about Paul’s vendetta. And he single-handedly made this formerly and still somewhat supernatural character into a real person that had a family. Paul’s genius and skill made this entire thing.

[@deadpilled2942]

[@ImCummyElizabeth1979]

Yep after that WWE killed his mystic and swag. Idk why he and taker agreed to some of that stuff

[@Noah-fv6dt]

Well more Kane than UNDERTAKER. But Kane was also involved in horrible storyline. Katie Vick comes to mind.

[@RudyHarlanPhantomBoom]

Retconning & convolution really tainted the character of Kane. He had been unmasked on several occasions in storyline. I believe in 1999, I can remember an instance when the corporation attacked Kane, unmasked him & took pictures of his face. They used the photos to blackmail him & reacted to his disfigured face. All that gets muddied when he unmasked in 2003 & stated that his scars were "psychological".

[@undefeateddynasty7974]

It all went downhill once he started dicking around with DX

[@Noah-fv6dt]

Yes, but no one saw it until 2003

[@sayheyguy]

This was a great doc, grew up loving the Taker-Kane rivalry. It was hilarious though that they omitted Dr Isaac Yankem and fake Diesel (even just so Glenn could 💩 on it), as well as their first match in Smoky Mountain.

[@kaptainkibiroproductions45]

Hilarious but not surprising. Glenn will literally hang up on people if they try to talk to him about it.

[@wereallscrewed9714]

Because it was about Undertaker vs. Kane. Not Yankem vs Punisher or whatever. 🤷‍♂️

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

They covered it on the Most Wanted Treasures episode (A&E) and also on the episode of WWE Evil (Peacock)

[@ThaRealWorld]

I wonder if Corny knows that in every episode of Nash’s podcast he’s name dropped Jim. At least twice an episode too 😂

[@joemares5033]

I actually liked unmasked Kane, because the subtext (to me at least) was that he wasn't badly burned, he really just had severe body dismorphia, which I thought was an interesting development for the character.

He legit goes on the most unnecessary 10 min rant about it in the Kane biography review.

[@peterzimmer9801]

I enjoyed this A&E rivalry program to a certain extent. It was nice to hear from the undertaker and Kane speak about the different storylines (since well both of those individuals couldn’t talk as much without breaking kayfabe). What I felt that was boring was seeing them rehash the same footage from the undertaker documentary and seeing them gloss over 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003. They barely even discussed Kane’s role in the buried alive match. But I digress. These were two of the best characters the WWE has created. The mystique, the dark overtones, and the fact that they were monsters…made it extra special. I think undertaker needed to change to the American badass because you could only do so much with the deadman/lord of darkness undertaker. There was no need for the ministry of darkness gimmick when the group disbanded. Plus undertaker adapted in the ring as a wrestler. I’m not sure who said this, but undertaker returning as the deadman (or a hybrid of the character) at XX was special not only because of Paul bearer, but he was able take a little of big evil in the ring and use that in the ring. He didn’t have to be big evil outside the ring. But he could use those moves without going full blown deadman in the ring.

[@johneschen308]

Isaac Yankem wasn't as bad as the Fake Diesel gimmick

Listened to the drive thru on my journey earlier and just started listening so not sure mentioned here But it is INSANE how much Jim changed/influenced certain things, be it the HIAC in WWF/E or Kane etc He really isn’t appreciated on a level he should be.

[@tylegend1986]

When we are old we will tell the little wrestling kiddies about Uncle Jim!

[@crowdpleaser2k]

Jim wrote the prequel to “See No Evil”

[@Anto_Skum]

"Halloween is my favorite horror movie of modern times". Halloween is almost half a century old. Aside from borrowing the iconic Halloween sit-up, Kane is much more similar to Jason Voorhees. The strap style mask, he's a thought to be dead child who grew into a monster (or an undead monster).

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

It’s still considered a “modern horror” considering the first true horror movie is basically from 1920 lol A lot of Undertaker came from Michael Myers, and a lot of Kane came from Undertaker, and Michael Myers has always been more methodical than Jason Voorhees

[@michaelmarino7391]

The Brothers of Destruction have the distinction of having the "Greatest Gimmick" of all time The Undertaker & the "Greatest Debut" of all time Kane.

[@christopherdoroba8724]

I'm loving both the rivals and the biography shows

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Who are the people in the rivals shows?

[@Wandering_Nowhere]

The only upside to Fake Diesel, is that in hindsight we get to see Glenn Jacobs in his prime with long hair, (a look that would've made him look infinitely better than unmasked Kane with the bald head).

[@TBrizzle01]

The unmasking was stupid but his lack of hair really killed it. He looked like someone's Uncle Cletus with the shortened hair. Then he just went bald.

[@bryanjackson9033]

It was a great documentary but, it just sucks it was only over an hour as went into detail about their respective characters, WM XIV, Unforgiven:In Your House, WM XX, and their final storyline in 2010. But, it left out their brawl at SS 2000, The Ministry vs. The Corporation, Judgment Day:In Your House and the fall out, and their reunions in 2006 and 2008 that forced them back together.

Halloween is also my favorite horror film series. Having it set in a suburb always freaked me out when I was growing up bc I could imagine it actually happening in my neighborhood. Its so scary bc its so relatable. Plus John Carpenter is my hero. Dude wrote the famous creepy piano line in the movies along with writing and directing too!

[@sunshineholmes3487]

I just recently found out Kane has an autobiography. I saw it at Dollar Tree.

[@megavolnutt4629]

Something just dawned on me listening to Jim talking about how the old thick blue/black bar cage was so much stiffer than the far more forgiving chain mesh. Wasn't the last match featuring the old thick bar cage Austin vs Mcmahon at st valentines day massacre? Did he nix that version of the cage specifically because he had to experience it firsthand? "Goddamn pals! Why didn't you tell me how stiff that cage was?"

[@lildwell2]

More than likely. Especially since Vince's tells them to lay it in thick when he wrestles. He took some ecw stiff shots into that cage. They probably nixed it because it's easier to lower the chain link cage than it is to have it built.

[@Andrew-gk6bn]

Thats why they changed the rings as well when Vince started taking bumps lol

They kept Kane strong for a year and a half and then they booked terribly for the rest of his run. One of the biggest what ifs in the last 25 years. And that says a lot

[@kennethrawlings7265]

What I mean by what if: The kane character was successful because of the initial idea and the work ethic and dedication of Glen. The booking didnt help him at all after 1999. There were many times Vince couldve pushed him as the monster heel or tweener that is demented but the fans love. Instead for majority of the time Kane was the gatekeeper. Anytime they put him in a long angle with someone, the other person was being groomed to be world champion/main event push. And he was beaten on tv so many times its a shame

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

He shouldn’t have lost to Austin clean after winning the belt, and they shouldn’t have given him a series of girlfriends unless he would still be seen as dangerous around them instead of abnormally sensitive

[@Based_Proletariat]

[@alwaysemployed656]

Ok. I thought the Isaac Yankem vignettes were hilarious, very amusing and very well produced, specially the one with the goofy X-Ray view special effects. As a matter of fact, I consider the Isaac Yankem vignettes to be the best wrestling vignettes in history! Seeing those Isaac Yankem vignettes on a Saturday morning on WWF Mania made the rest of the day felt great! We all wanted more of those Isaac Yankem vignettes. Also, I think Kane's debut was amazing! Paul teased Kane for a very long time while no one got a glimpse of what he looked like. I was thinking Kane was going to be small and thin, to sort of give a slither and creep vibe of terror, like the feeling we get when we see a crawling insect. When Kane walked down the ramp on that HC match, everyone jaws dropped! HUGE AND SCARY! The costume looked great! Red makes everything look bigger. So, I think the way Kane was introduced was great. Also, it took me 4 years after Kane made his debut to figure out the guy wearing the mask and costume was Glenn. Around the year 2000, I was scrolling through some news articles on AOL and seen an article on Kane, that's where I found out Glenn is Kane.

Undertaker vs Kane was an incredible storyline. I just wish that they ended it with a double retirement match...HELL IN THE CELL.

[@runawayuniverse]

One thing I never understood is when Undertaker debuted with Ted DiBiase, his name was Cain the Undertaker. Then years later his mysterious "brother" shows up and his name is "Kane". Why did the person/people in charge of making up the Undertaker gimmick origin story have such a hard on for the name Cain/Kane?

[@robertreams1231]

It comes from the Cain/Abel bible story. They were brothers. Cain killed Abel. It’s the brotherly rivalry. And Bruce said he always loved Cain spelled Kane.

[@Clubber-Slang]

that was like one time before they just went to Undertaker. When he debuted at Survivor Series 90 DiBiase just said, "from Death Valley, The Undertaker".

[@SuperbNProsper]

It was Bruce’s creation . He had the idea for a character named kane for a while. He speaks on it in his a&e bio. Taker decided to not use it since the name was so long & just stick with “The Undertaker”. Once the Undertaker “younger brother” angle came up the “Kane” idea fit perfectly with the story
