Kane’s 10 Most Disturbing WWE Relationships

1. The Undertaker And Paul Bearer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e50iYwAOu1M Well, here goes nothing. Here's the story of the childhood and adult years of Kane, his brother The Undertaker and their father Paul Bearer. After being assaulted by The Undertaker throwing a fireball at him, Paul Bearer returned to WWE television in 1997 claiming that he was going to reveal a secret about The Undertaker. When eventually pressed to do so, Bearer stated that The Undertaker had killed his entire family in a childhood fire at the family's funeral home/actual home, save Kane, his brother who physically and mentally scarred from the event. Even further, Bearer claimed that he had an affair with The Undertaker's mother, revealing that Kane was his child and that Kane and The Undertaker were half-brothers. In response, The Undertaker claimed that Kane was a "pyromaniac," started the fire, and certainly couldn't have survived. However, this was revealed mere months later by The Undertaker to have been a case of him telling a lie. As an adult, Kane ripped the Hell in a Cell door off of its hinges, entered the cage and Tombstone Piledrove his own brother in his WWF debut at the Badd Blood PPV. This then led to them engaging in a series of tilts between 1997-1999, including Kane attempting (and failing) to set his brother on fire on two separate occasions. As well, during 1998, Kane attempted to bury the Undertaker alive, to no avail. As most families do, the tensions ceased and occasional moments for slight anger of unity presented themselves. However, blood proved thicker than water as Kane and The Undertaker reunited as the "Brothers of Destruction" tag team to stave off not just the power-hungry McMahon/Helmsley Faction, but also the power-hungry WCW/ECW Alliance between 1999-2001. Clearly not okay with Kane's issues with necrophilia and rape, the brothers eventually reunited again in 2006 to defeat MVP and Mr. Kennedy on Smackdown. WWE.comWWE.comBy June of 2010, Kane had claimed that over the then-just passed Memorial Day weekend, he had found his brother The Undertaker in a "vegetative state." No, this wasn't the result of one too many cold beers, but Kane claimed after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase in July of 2010 that man who had committed the nefarious deed was none other than Rey Mysterio. Countering being fingered for the crime, Mysterio instead stated that Kane was the perpetrator. After defeating Mysterio at SummerSlam 2010, The Undertaker appeared, attacking Kane, thus revealing that he had indeed left his brother in a vegetative state. In the midst of this feud, Paul Bearer's character was resurrected from death, to support The Undertaker, only to turn on the Undertaker to support Kane instead. The feud ended as Kane defeated Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match after being aided by heel NXT stable, The Nexus. Of course, the brothers then later reunited alongside Daniel Bryan in 2012, to protect The Undertaker from The Shield, with the last time both Kane and Undertaker having been seen together being at the very real WWE Hall of Fame induction of Paul Bearer in 2014, appearing alongside William Moody's two actual sons. The notion that Moody's real-life children and his storyline sons as Paul Bearer could unite at that moment, took 17 years of disturbed and depraved moments and gave them the most kindest and decent of closure.
