Kane: One Mans Journey Through Hell Fire and Brimstone

 Hello everyone. As always, I would like to thank you for spending a few moments with me today.

Throughout my many years of watching pro wrestling I have seen many big men come and go. There have only been a few that would truly make an impact over the last 20 years.

The one I am here to talk about is probably my favorite big man of all time. It is a man we all know as “the Big Red Machine” Kane.

Over the last two decades Kane has gone on to become one of the best big men of all time. His intimidating appearance and power has left its mark on many people. He would redefine what the modern big wrestler could do in the ring.

Sadly when I watch Kane it feels more like I am watching a ghost. He has a lost a few steps as most wrestlers often do. Many also feel that because of all the jobbing over the years and the loss of the mask he just isn’t the same.

The Kane that I remembered and loved was an absolute monster in the ring. He had the strength of a truck, the speed of a cruiserweight, and could fly like a bird. If you doubt my words, all you have to do is watch some of his old matches.

There is another side to Kane that a lot of people don’t hear about though.
