1. Lighting Undertaker On Fire In A Casket At Royal Rumble 1998
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmxnXQVjaNQ It's another early moment from Kane's career. They wanted to establish that he would do anything to torment his brother The Undertaker. It actually looked like Kane was going to help Undertaker when Taker was getting attacked towards the end of the 1998 Royal Rumble Casket Match against Shawn Michaels, but it was all a ploy from Kane and Paul Bearer. Kane ended up attacking Undertaker, then he put him into the casket, which gave Michaels the win. As the PPV came to a close, Kane and Bearer locked Undertaker in the casket. The story didn't end there as Kane and Bearer moved the casket by the entrance. That's when they took things to an extreme level as Kane used an axe to hit the casket. After Kane's attack on the casket, Kane poured gasoline onto the casket and then Bearer lit matches. Kane tossed the matches onto the casket and it was engulfed in flames at that point. Jim Ross had a memorable call on commentary: "The casket is on fire! That casket is on fire! The Undertaker is in the casket!" That's how the PPV ended with the sight of Kane trying to kill his brother by starting a fire on a casket that The Undertaker was supposedly in. It was a good way to show that Kane would do anything to make things difficult for his brother, even by setting him on fire with no place to go.
