1. Kane
By far one of the least obvious video game fans in wrestling is the intimidating Kane. Glenn Jacobs is often outed as a surprisingly intelligent, thoughtful man, one who is learned on a variety of topics and can speak freely about political policy and history. In the ring, Kane has always been a monstrous figure, one who has become a long-running staple of WWE's core product. Oh yeah, and the big guy also likes to play sports games online against complete strangers when he's not working in the wrestling business or busy giving seminars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsPmZ8xyEfk Laughing off suggestions that he should tell gamers who beat him online that he's actually WWE's Kane, Jacobs says he enjoys the anonymity of playing over the internet against total strangers, saying it allows him to cut loose and just be himself. Next time you're playing Madden, if you hear a familiar voice celebrating a touchdown over your headset, just let him win. What other wrestlers do you know of who are gamers? Did you know about any of the ones featured on this list? Let us know down in the comments section!
