Kane’s 10 Most Disturbing WWE Relationships

6. Jim Ross

WWE.comWWE.comIn June 2003, Kane had already been in WWE for seven years and gone through numerous bizarre character shifts. However, once unmasked on June 23rd of that year, Kane became more significantly psychotic and unstable than ever before. He turned on his tag team partner Rob Van Dam, took on more significantly emo characteristics, and when faced with a sit-down interview with Jim Ross, he may have engaged in one of his most disturbing acts/actions ever. Jim Ross had been calling Kane's matches for seven years, and as an announcer-as-character, had always displayed a pronounced sensitivity to the unique nature of his character's bizarre interpersonal issues. However, when faced with interviewing Kane about his recent issues - especially those regarding the idea that his facial scarring requiring him to wear a mask was largely emotional - Kane snapped, and then decided to literally pour gasoline on Ross, and set him ablaze. On the grand scale of "levels of aggravated assault punishable by jurisprudence," this moment rates an 85 on a scale of 1-10.
