His rivalry with the Undertaker is also considered as one of the best rivalries in professional wrestling history. Even their Tag Team, the Brothers of Destruction is also considered as one of the best tag teams in WWE history. Moreover the duo is actually made for each other.
Undertaker and Kane worked together for so many times. When Jacobs made his main roster debut in 1997, he started a feud against the Undertaker. Somehow the feud never ended. Sometimes they worked as friends, sometimes enemies. Somehow it always felt like they are incomplete without each other.
Kane who is also a former three times World Champion in WWE recently spoke to PW Mania where he addressed the Undertaker as his favourite Wrestler of all time. He also revealed his relationship with his half brother. He said;
“It was amazing. Undertaker was my favorite superstar before I got into the WWE. He debuted right around the time I broke into the wrestling business. He’s always been my favorite. He was a big guy like me, and the character was amazing. He was the first big guy to combine size and athleticism that he did. There were a lot of big guys who couldn’t do the stuff he could do.
“Ultimately, not only was it of course a tremendous character and concept, but it was the fact that you had this guy who was 6’10, 300lbs, could walk across the top rope, and he’ll tell you himself he would move very methodically and did a lot of things a human being his size wouldn’t be able too. I have a great deal of respect for him as a performer before I even really got into the business.
“Then, when I was around him for a few years, all the stuff about him being the locker room leader is all true. He was the guy you didn’t want to disappoint, I remember one night I felt terrible because he was hurt and still went out and did a half an hour match. He was in pain and did the best that he could. He didn’t have to, he’s The Undertaker, he’s been there for 20 years and if he wanted to phone it in, nobody would say anything.
“Then I went out there and I worked hard, but I was like man, here he is. That was the moment when I decided I would never phone it in either. If he could go out there and wrestle at a high-level hurt, then we all could. Frankly, he is an idol. To be able to work with him, that closely and develop a close relationship with him, is just something dreams are made out of.”
