10 Mind Blowing Facts About Kane

8. He Was Trained By Dean Malenko

As durable and long-lasting as Kane has been, he was never a very technical wrestler. His move-set has often been quite limited, forming the typical big man move-set: body slams, Powerslams, Vertical Suplexes, Clotheslines and his signature Chokeslam. He was never really expected to pull off a clinic in wrestling that€™s expected of smaller wrestlers. In fact, he has had to deal with some very bad wrestlers and has had to work some terrible matches. His feuds with both the Great Khali and Big Daddy V led to some of the most boring and difficult-to-watch matches, despite both wrestlers€™ best efforts. He is also one of the holders of the dubious distinction of having wrestled in the worst match of 2001, when he and Undertaker (back when €˜Taker put on a lot of weight and was more sluggish in the ring) faced KroniK, in a very bad match. However, these problems take away from the fact that Kane was trained by a very gifted wrestler in Dean Malenko. That must€™ve been very useful training, as Malenko was considered one of the most gifted wrestling technicians if his generation. Though Kane hasn€™t had some of the greatest matches, he has managed to stay consistent over the years, and has managed to perfect a wrestling style that hasn€™t really hurt his body as much. The fact that he has performed the Flying Clothesline over the years with few injuries goes to show how well he can wrestle without putting too much strain on his body. That is just as important a skill as making the offense look realistic.
