Glen Thomas Jacobs (born April 26, 1967 in Madrid, Spain, but raised near Nashville, Tennessee) is a professional wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment, best known for wrestling as Kane.

Jacobs has portrayed several characters throughout his career since his debut in 1992. This includes a few runs in the WWE as Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS and the "Fake Diesel". In 1997, he was repackaged as Kane, a masked character he is now best known for.

The Kane character is the on-screen half-brother of The Undertaker, with whom he feuded off and on for several years. The characters' backstories are that as children, Undertaker accidentally burned down the orphanage where they lived, hideously scarring Kane. Undertaker's manager, Paul Bearer, hid Kane as he grew up, and Kane was thought to be dead until he returned as a 7-foot, one-eyed monster at Bad Blood in 1997 and attacked Undertaker during his match.

He won the WWF Championship in 1998 which was the highlight of his career so far. In 2003, he unmasked. Many fans are annoyed at how the current Kane has no scars and much of the psychological depth and established history of the character has been ignored.

In December 2003 at the Armageddon pay-per-view, Kane was in a triple threat title match against Triple HJean-Paul Michael Levesque (born July 27, 1969 in Nashua, New Hampshire) is an American professional wrestler, best known for performing under the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley or Triple H .

He is a graduate of the Wild Samoan Training Center and wrestled in Ohio Valley Wrestling as Mean Gene Mondo . He made h which will likely resume once his movie commitment ends. This grew out of a previous storyline with LitaAmy Dumas better known as Lita (born April 14, 1975), is a professional wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment and former valet. She is one of the few women in WWE who is generally respected as a wrestler. She came to a wide audience first in Extreme.

The first storyline involved Kane falling in love with Lita, but Lita being disturbed by Kane, and not reciprocating. At the beginning of May, Kane kidnapped Lita, and supposedly asked her a question before Kane let her go. On May 17, 2004's broadcast of RAWWWE RAW is the Monday night professional wrestling show for World Wrestling Entertainment. It currently airs live on Spike TV every Monday night at 9:00pm to 11:00pm EST, since it is a live broadcasting, the show might have an overrun. It also airs live i, Lita gave an answer of yes to Kane's question. The question was not immediately revealed. On that same night, Kane won a 20-man Battle Royale, to earn Number One Contendership to Chris Benoit'sChristopher Michael Benoit better known as Chris Benoit (born May 21, 1967, Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian professional wrestler. Benoit, who grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, is widely known as one of the most technically proficient and skilled athletes in World Heavyweight Championship at Bad Blood .

On the June 14, 2004 RAW, Kane mercilessly beat Shawn MichaelsMichael Shawn James Hickenbottom (born July 22, 1965 in Phoenix, Arizona) is better known as the professional wrestler Shawn Michaels or the "Heartbreak Kid". Although born in Phoenix, Michaels grew up in San Antonio, Texas. Trained by Jose Lothario, he d after an in-ring promo featuring Michaels and Triple H. He capped off his assault by placing Michaels' neck in a folding steel chair and jumping on the chair. Michaels was carried off-stage in a stretcher, portrayed as having suffered a crushed larynx as a result of Kane's attack. The larynx injury was worked. The "attack" was used by WWE to write Michaels out of storylines; the promotion excused him for several weeks to allow him to spend time with his pregnant wife, who was due to deliver the couple's second child in August.

Later, Lita announced she was pregnant (also worked); Matt Hardy (her boyfriend, both in the storyline and in reality) assumed that he was the child's father. On the June 21, 2004 broadcast of RAW, Lita and Hardy appeared together in the ring, and he asked Lita to marry him. Before she could respond, Kane appeared on a video monitor, and claimed to be the father of Lita's child. On the next week's RAW, Kane again made the claim. Kane and Hardy were then booked to face one another at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event in a "Till Death Do Us Part" match, where Lita would have to marry the winner.

Kane was victorious in the match, and eventually married Lita on the August 23, 2004 RAW. There was a small amount of annoyance among both wrestling fans and the press that Hardy revealed that he would be missing 6 to 8 months after the match; this gave away the fact that he would obviously lose to Kane.

On the September 13, 2004 RAW, Snitsky made his debut, matched against Kane. During the match, Snitsky hit Kane in the back with a steel chair, causing Kane to fall into Lita. The injuries Lita suffered in the match led to a (storyline) miscarriage. Kane and Snitsky were then booked to meet at Taboo Tuesday; Snitsky won a match in which a steel chain was a legal weapon. Snitsky then continued to injure Kane's neck with a steel chair (also worked due to Kane's upcoming movie commitment).
