Kane was always perceived as an American monster. Upon unmasking in 2003, that was largely confirmed. He was a big bald white dude and he talked with a US accent. However, there's always been an urban legend that Kane is actually spanish. It always sounded like a far fetched urban legend, but it is the sort of wrestling pub quiz trivia that keeps popping up. Why People Believe It: Like many urban legends, this is just one of those nuggets of information that has been passed around the internet wrestling community for many years. Time and widespread commenting has resulted in it being a classic piece of wrestling trivia. Should We Believe It: Yes! Amazingly enough, Kane was born in Spain. Glenn Jacobs was born in Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid, to a United States Air Force family stationed in the region. So he is an American citizen, but he was born in Spain. As such, the "Kane is Spanish" urban legend was started.
