10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash
10. Fake Diesel Was Portrayed By Kane
When WWE started doing the Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon characters it was their way of telling fans that they could bring in this other guy to portray Diesel and he will be just as successful as the original Diesel was. It was also a way to tell fans that they really had no idea what they were doing in 1996 when the company was floundering. The interesting thing about Fake Diesel was that the guy playing the character was Glenn Jacobs, who we already knew as Isaac Yankem DDS in 1995 and then in 1997 he became Kane. That's not a fact that WWE is really proud of. They only want the fans to know Jacobs as Kane and nothing else. It's understandable that they think that way, but it doesn't change the fact that it happened either. You won't hear WWE ever mention that Kane portrayed Fake Diesel. They might discuss the character on a DVD or documentary, but never on a PPV, Raw or something that is important like that. It's as if it didn't happen. It's definitely something WWE wants us to forget.
