Kane Wife

Jacobs married Crystal Maurisa in 1995 and together they are living a happy life in Knoxville. Crystal Maurisa had two children from her marriage and Jacobs is now recognized as the father of Crystal’s daughters. However, Jacobs did not have any biological child of his own.

Post Attitude Era – Unmask

Kane had a decent mid card run in 2002 and early 2003. She had great Tag Team success with the likes of Hurricane and Rob Van Dam. But in 2003, he got unmasked and for the first time in his six year career, he had to work without the mask. It looks like that finally he would receive a consistent main event push. But he remained on the mid card.

ECW Champion

He worked in various storylines during the time and until early 2008, he did not get to win any singles Championship. At Wrestlemania 24 he won the ECW Championship and that was his first singles title win in six long years. Finally he was being elevated to the main event scene, something that his fans were looking for quite a long time.

World Heavyweight Champion

In 2010, he won the Money in the Bank ladder match in the first ever Money in the Bank pay per view event. He cashed his title in on the same event on Rey Mysterio to win the World Heavyweight Championship. This was his first main stream World title win in a long time. However, the ECW title is also recognized as a World title.

His main event run did not continue for long and after he dropped the title at TLC event of the same year, he never returned to the main event picture again. But he has always been treated as a legitimate threat. He did multiple big feuds and storylines in the upcoming days but never returned to the main event picture on a regular basis again.

Return of the Mask

In early 2012, he returned with the mask to feud with John Cena. The fans were really excited after finally their wish was granted. But unfortunately, WWE did not have any big plans for Jacobs with the mask either. When he received a huge victory over Randy Orton at WrestleMania 28, it looked like he would finally accept a main event push, but, unfortunately, it never happened.

Team Hell No

In 2012 he teamed up with Daniel Bryan and this team was famously known as the Team Hell No. This was one of the most famous tag teams of the time and it is considered one of the best teams in the history of WWE. Together they were extremely successful and famous. They then won the WWE Tag Team Championships.

But the team ended when WWE decided to give Daniel Bryan a singles push. Kane joined the Authority storyline as a member of the Authority. This was the time when we got to witness the role of Corporate Kane. It was widely criticized but there were some fans who loved it. It was the first time fans got to witness Kane in such a character.

Final Days

Jacob’s WWE career continued for a number of years and he kept on promoting talents in his remaining career; something that he was best known for. Finally he joined the world of quality and right now he is the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. In 2021 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Iconic Quotes From Kane

“I grew up in rural Missouri about two hours north of St. Louis, and if the wind was blowing right on a Saturday night, I could catch All Star Wrestling out of Kansas City, which was run by Bob Geigel, and some of the stars there were Bulldog Bob Brower and Ray Candy.”

“I think it’s incumbent upon elected officials to make sure that, if we’re going to demand more tax money from people, that we use it in a productive manner and not just say, ‘This is what we’re going to use it for,’ and then they find out that it was used for something else and sometimes something very frivolous.”

“I’ve been in WWE for 22 years and reached a point in my career where, within the locker room, I’m one of the people that guys come to if something needs to be discussed. I’m also one of the people that the WWE executives, if there is a problem in the locker room, I’m one people that is consulted about that.”

“Honestly, I think we in the WWE are very underrated as performers. What we do would be very difficult for even an experienced actor. To go out and sometimes have 15 minutes of verbiage, sometimes have to ad-lib and then, of course, have other variables such as the interaction with the audience, it can be challenging.”

“We’ve all heard the phrase ‘equal pay for equal work.’ Many of those who habitually repeat this mantra may not realize that it is simply a variation of the discredited labor theory of value (LTV), which is generally associated with Marxian economics.”

“Control freak politicians never rest, and a few of the more dedicated ones are working relentlessly to slap chains on the world’s most unfettered market. The Marketplace Fairness Act will end up forcing consumers to pay higher prices for the goods they desire.”

“By mandating equal pay, the government erases the competitive advantage of those people who are willing to take less pay. In addition, employers are less willing to hire employees who they believe could subject them to increased liability.”
