As the entire concept of pro wrestling is built on a lie, there's a lot about the sport that's kept shrouded. Certain stories that were built up among fans have taken on lives of their own, and even though all information is available on the Internet these days, our lasped and casual fan friends and acquaintances typically don't spend much time reading up on who Glenn Jacobs was before he was Kane. It's up to us hardcore WWE fans to set our friends straight when they bring up some of the sport's more pervasive urban legends. Just for the record: there's only ever been one Undertaker, there have been two Kanes (although the second, played by Drew "Doc Gallows" Hankinson, was always portrayed as fake and didn't last very long), there was one Ultimate Warrior (and he died in 2014, not in the 80s or the 90s), and there have been a lot of Doinks.
