8 Biggest Turncoats In WWE History

Kane’s status as a moral flip-flopper is somewhat more justified than the others on this list. While many of his turns were less organic than others, you could always say that his unclear allegiances fit his mysterious character. Kane is the quintessential chaotic neutral: a wild, unpredictable creature whose whims are fleeting and ever-changing. His status as a monster made it easy for him to play either side of the fence in the Attitude era. One minute, he could be the big evil monster for The Undertaker to slay, and the next, he could be by ‘Taker’s side trying to destroy everything in their path.

Really, where Kane’s morality became a problem was when the writers tried to humanize him. From taking off his mask to revealing his personal history to giving him love interests, the veneer of chaos and mystery shrouding Kane was removed. He wasn’t an unhinged, unpredictable monster, but rather, a confusing, boring giant who gave the fans no reason to care what side of the fence he was residing on.

WWE would realize this at times, however, and have occasionally hit the reset button with the character, making him once-again an unhinged monster with unclear motives... but then, they end up abandoning that. Most famously this occurred in 2012, when Kane started off the year as a re-masked arbiter of evil and destruction, and by summer, he was in comedic therapy sketches with Daniel Bryan.

Kane is indeed a flip-flopper, which makes him a perfect political candidate.
