10 Wrestling Storylines Totally Ripped Off From Movies

6. Kane Becomes Michael Myers

When Kane made his debut at the October, 1997 Badd Blood Pay-Per-View, fans sat up and took notice. It was hard not to, given that the mammoth man ripped the door clean off the Hell In A Cell structure, before pounding his storyline brother, The Undertaker with a massive Tombstone Piledriver. Instantly, Kane was made as an important character on the WWF landscape, but it would have counted for nothing had there not been mystique surrounding the persona. His face hidden under a red and black mask, only Kane's soulless, emotionless eyes pierced holes through both his opponents and fans watching at home. It was powerful stuff, and owes more than a little to the character of Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise. Think about the characterisation of Kane during those early appearances. There was no escape for his targets, and he was pretty much impervious to pain. Worse yet, his ominous presence sent a chill down everyone's collective spines, Kane was very much the embodiment of true evil, something which can also be said of Myers. Similar jarring childhood incidents permeate both characters, giving them a sensibility which is altogether similar, not to mention utterly terrifying.
