4. May 19th
May 19th will forever be part of wrestling folklore. It all started in 2006, when Kane started hearing voices that repeated May 19th. The fans could hear the voices, too. "May 19th... it's happening again Kane." Kane was really, like really, disturbed by the mentions of the date. He became a physical and mental wreck. What could the significance of May 19th possibly be? Loads of urban legends popped up and most predicted something big to come out of it. Lots of people figured he was going to re-embrace his mask. Others said that May 19th signified the night that he killed his parents, or murdered his girlfriend.
Why People Believe It: Fans want to believe in something outlandish. This is also an urban legend that has benefited from time, as fans don't really rememeber the storyline, they just remember the "May 19th" significance. As such, all sorts of things about Kane get said each year when May 19th rolls around.
Should We Believe It: The truth is that May 19th was just a promotional ploy to push See No Evil. The film starred Kane and was released on, you guessed it, May 19th. In terms of WWE storytelling, nothing really happened. Kane had a match on Smackdown on May 19th 2006 and beat up JBL and Rey Mysterio. The following week, he explained that May 19th was the night his parents died in a fire. Next up, an impostor Kane debuted, with the two having a god awful match at Vengeance. Fake Kane won, but then real Kane beat him up backstage at Raw, unmasked him, and kicked him out of WWE via the back door.
