Kane


 * Two other people have been known as Kane during their career: Stevie Ray, and Festus. Ray had a different gimmick, while Festus was an imposter of the real Kane.

Glenn Thomas Jacobs (born April 26, 1967) is an American wrestler. He is currently performing on the Smackdown brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). In the WWE he is a two time World Champion winning the WWF Championship and the ECW Heavyweight Championship, a 9 time World Tag Team Champion and a two time Intercontinental Champion.

Jacobs has wrestled under the "Kane" gimmick - the "younger half-brother of The Undertaker" - since 1997. During the 11 years since, many aspects of Kane's character have been used to advance feuds and angles, including his relationships with his "family" (in particular the Undertaker), his mental stability, his physical appearance, being the frequent target of ridicule and unrequited relationships with various women.

Prior to wrestling as Kane, Jacobs wrestled for WWE under two gimmicks:


 * Isaac Yankem DDS, an evil dentist who was employed by Jerry Lawler during his mid-1990s feud with Bret Hart.
 * Diesel. The "Diesel" gimmick had been trademarked by what was then the World Wrestling Federation, and Jacobs was given this gimmick when the original Diesel, Kevin Nash, left the WWF in 1996. Jacobs was teamed with Rick Bogner (who performed as "Razor Ramon" after Scott Hall also left) to perform as "Diesel and Razor Ramon." This gimmick was unpopular with fans and was quickly dropped.

Right Now
Kane is currently fueding with The Great Khali. He "captured" Runjin sign and tortured him backstage. Kane will face The Great Khali at Summerslam 2009 Kane beat The Great Khali.
