10 Wrestling Images That Will Make You Feel Really Old

1. That's Gotta Be The Cold Hand Of Time

Kane Debut Badd Blood 97

We've already established that The Undertaker has been around for a long time. His tenure with WWE stretches back almost 26 years and spans several eras of company history. It's incredibly impressive that he's managed to be at the top of the card for his entire run, always delivering exactly what's expected from him.

The Undertaker is so established - such a vital part of WWE history - that another super-successful character was "spun off" from him. That, of course, is his half-brother Kane, who was horribly burned in a fire as a youth and spent his subsequent childhood and young adulthood living in Paul Bearer's basement. Or something. I'm pretty sure he also snuck out to meet up with Katie Vick.

Kane debuted in the first-ever Hell in a Cell match, which in itself was almost 19 years ago. That means Kane - who wouldn't be anything without The Undertaker - now boasts his own legendary run. For some perspective, when Undertaker had been in WWE as long as Kane, he had already wrestled Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV. For more perspective, babies born after Kane debuted are now adults who can vote.
