8 Most Memorable WWE Father/Son Moments
7. Kane & Paul Bearer
This might not be a real father/son combo, but then this isn't a real sport, and frankly, this isn't a real holiday, so let's not quibble.
There were hints of a familial tenderness between the taciturn Undertaker and his ghastly manager Paul Bearer long before the world became aware of their cold-bloodline, with vignettes frequently showing father-son bonding sessions such as carpentry and, er, 'hide-and-seek'.
Bearer's fatherly affections, it turned out, came from a place of secret surrogacy. After 'Taker fell out with his manager - some drama over being hit on the bonce with an urn - Bearer revealed that his former charge had a brother. At Badd Blood '97, little Kane Undertaker tore the cell door off and exacted revenge on a sibling who'd supposedly left him to die in a house fire when children.
Like all good episodes of Jeremy Kyle, it ended in a DNA test some months later, as it was dramatically unveiled that Paul Bearer was not just Kane's great mate, but in fact, his biological father. Unfortunately, his son was a bit of a useless pro-wrestler, and it wasn't long before the nefarious coffin carrier hitched his hearse back onto The Undertaker.
