10 Wildest Wrestling Urban Legends

9. WWE Made A Green Kane Outfit

Kane's colour scheme was red and black.

It was simple look designed to convey darkness, hell, fire - all that lame sh*te that somehow persisted for well over two decades. Less facetiously, for a few years, the persona worked even for those who weren't remotely interested in supernatural bullsh*t. In 1997, Kane was really quite eerie, with his head tilts and such, and in 2002, he ate his chicken and broccoli and turned into a hoss who didn't move like he had lead in his sluggish, safe ass.

He modified his look as the years wore on, by infamously unmasking to reveal that he hadn't been burned but did have a terrible haircut. Then he put the mask back on as the 'Demon' Kane. It's so WWE of WWE that they had to clarify this after several years.

"What if they think he's a plumber, pal?"

Kane, if you believe an old urban legend, almost changed his look years prior.

"The Big Green Machine" refers to one out of every NXT 2.0 wrestlers in 2022, but in 1999, it was almost Kane's new nickname: he was apparently all set to join DX and wear green and black gear, but it never did end up happening, if it was ever meant to happen at all.
