10 Ridiculous Wrestling Storylines You Won't Believe Were Pitched

3. 'Fake' Kane To Be Revealed As 'Real' Kane

In 2015, it's clear that Glenn Jacobs, the man behind the persona of Kane, is coming towards the end of his lengthy in-ring career. There's no shame in the fact that he's more limited than ever before, the guy can look back on a pretty darn impressive body of work. One of the longest-running characters going, Kane has been around since 1997, but Jacobs was almost involved in what would have surely been a character killing storyline, one involving himself. By 2006, WWE wanted to shake up the idea of Kane, and thus a 'Fake' Kane was introduced, one who went face-to-face with the original. It was a short-lived experiment, one which failed miserably. Luke Gallows/Festus was the man under the awful wig and mask combination, looking like he was more than partial to a little bit of back-combing. Jacobs, as Kane (confused yet?) would confront this imposter, only for fans to find out something truly shocking. One of the discarded plans for the story called for this 'Fake' Kane to be revealed as the genuine article, and for Glenn Jacobs to be outed as a man who had stolen the identity for his own gain many years ago. This would lead to the "original" defeating Jacobs and vanquishing him from WWE TV, allowing the man to retire from active competition.
