In the mid-1990s, the WWF was dressing up 7-foot tall, 300+ pound monster Glen Jacobs as an evil dentist and giving him the rather unfortunate name of Isaac yankem, DDS. Once the wrestling dentist gimmick bombed, the company dressed him up as Diesel (AKA Kevin Nash), who had recently departed for rival promotion WCW. Finally, Jacobs the jobber/cheap imitation was re-branded as the monstrous Kane. The trick? He was given a mask... Pushed to the moon by the WWFs writers, Kane was supposedly The Undertakers psychotic, pyromaniac brother. Fans were told that a fire had horribly scarred his face and that the character never removed his Hannibal Lector-esque mask as a result. Whether it was morbid curiosity, the fact that Jacobs played the part to perfection or simply that Kanes pyrotechnic-laced entrance was one of the most exciting ever seen in wrestling, is immaterial; Jacobs became a huge star. The storyline proved to be a massive success and Kane is still main eventing WWE shows to this day, working the gimmick he should have had all along, that of an enormous, unstoppable monster.
