[edit] Nationality

Could someone please change the flag at the top to Spain as it clearly notes that he was born in Madrid, Spain? Lee 15:50 16, October 2007 (UTC)

Whilst he was born in Spain, he is not Spanish, he is American. He was born to American parents, in Madrid, Spain, whilst his father was stationed there with the US Airforce. He was raised in the US and would be a US citizen. I sincerely doubt he would have any real affiliation with Spain. -- Misinformation (talk) 10:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

if he was born in Spain, that would make him an automatic citizen of Spain would it not?68.164.85.197 (talk) 02:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Not if he was born to a family that was stationed over there in one of the branches of the American Military, and chances are he was probaly born in the hospital at the Base, and the Base is considered US Territory. Fisha695 (talk) 16:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jew

According to obsessedwithwrestling.com, Kane is jewish, I don't know if this is just bullshit. Here's the link though: http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/jewish.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.185.211.226 (talk) 22:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Obsessed with wrestling is a match guide, and just look at the horrible grammar they use, it makes me laugh. That site is not trusted, neither are spoiler sites like wrestlezone...--Lord Dagon (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC) Mabye CAW.ws could tell you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.214.9.139 (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] World Heavyweight Championship

Did Kane won the WHC?. See the 2004 section, i need a source. --KingOfDX (talk) 05:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, because when Paul London and Brian Kendrick won the World Tag Team Championship from Cade and Murdoch at the house show, JR and Lawler even talked about it during their match at Unforgiven.--Lord Dagon (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

No source?, removed. --KingOfDX (talk) 06:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Kane defeated Chris Benoit at a house show in 2004 to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Unlike Paul London & Brian Kendrick's title win, Kane's was disallowed because it was a World Championship. Since the title change was not allowed, the World Heavyweight Championship doesn't recognize Kane as a former champion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomholdroyd (talk • contribs) 19:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Myspace?

at the bottom of the page it gives his myspace. however the list of WWE 'myspacers' (such as the one on Gregory Helms' page) doesnt include him on it. should it be deleted or not?Insanity x (talk) 18:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

It's just another poser profile, I've deleted the link.Misinformation (talk) 00:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Funeral Home

I may be mistaken, but I do believe it was actually The Undertaker that burned down the funeral home. Not Kane. I could be wrong though, but if I am, apologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.32.98 (talk) 06:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

yes ur right...i also heard that, Undertaker killed the parens of Kane....if u see the reviews of previous fights before wrestlemania underaker vs kane match, paul bearer said the same that taker killed the perants —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.240.234 (talk) 16:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maksed Kane vs. Unmasked Kane

Are they they same person? The masked Kane seemed Rreally muscular, especially his exposed arm when he wore the full body suit, and he also seemed muscilar in the abs, whereas the unmasked Kane seems larger, with a fatter abdomen and more a round arm, rather than built and muscular. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.133.54.150 (talk) 02:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

thats wat im saying some1 told me the real kane had a sucide pact with the orignal warrior --The real rj (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
i dont think so--99.147.224.224 (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
People can get out of shape you know. Who else would it be? Katie Vick? --Kaizer13 (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Festus is the guy who played the Imposter Kane 3pointswish (talk) 02:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't think he asked about who played the Imposter Kane character once upon a time, I think he's asking if the early version of masked Kane (1997-2000-something) is the same as the current guy. Which is yes, only Mr. Jacobs seems a tad bit out-of-shape now as compared to then. And this discussion doesn't really belong here anywhere. --Kaizer13 (talk) 16:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah, that could be true. Just look at everyone from 10 years ago, Undertaker's lost 30 pounds, Kane's a lot more out of shape, Triple H got 30 more pounds of muscle, HBK's lost 10 pounds of muscle, everyone's different than back then. 3pointswish (talk) 20:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WrestleMania XXIV Match Length

Kane's match only lasted 8 seconds not 9. This was reported on last night's ECW by none other than Kane himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.22.123.124 (talk) 21:08, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

At 8 seconds, the length of the match sets the WrestleMania record. This should be noted, as it could be considered a career accomplishment. His "WrestleMania moment," if you will.--Obligatoryhandle (talk) 00:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. And to say That doesn't need to be noted here is silly. Just like a record set at the Super Bowl is noted on a football players page, this too should be noted. --Endless Dan 01:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I know for a Fact, the un-masked Kane is not the real Kane, Kane owns a gym in my hometown of Sevierville, Tn, Family Fitness, I will not give out his full name, but his first name is Scott, he wore a mask for years because he did not like wrestling all that much, he kept it that way so he could be replaced when he wanted to quit. I see him time to time in my store purchasing fishing supplies, he still has long hair, and still is fit. So the un-masked Kane is a fake and it kinda urks me they put Scott's stats in there to reflect well for Jacob Glenn. Scott was a better Kane Hands down, Vince M. shouldn't be such a ball breaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.241.127.162 (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

It kinda urks me that people say things that aren't true, at least, give me some proof.--Lord Dagon (talk) 18:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
P.S. - I like how you used the name Scott (from Scott Hall, whom he played a fake for), so as to make us believe that, well, if we did to begin with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Dagon (talk • contribs) 18:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
He played the fake Diesel. --Endless Dan 12:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About Glen Jacob's height

A few days ago when I visited the page on GLEN JACOB, I saw his original height was given that is 6'8" and also the original weight. But why it is has been removed now?

[edit] Ron Paul support

In his own words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BaRbArIaN69 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

You DO realize that YouTube violates Copywright laws, and that's why we don't use it, right?--Lord Dagon (talk) 13:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Source

Here's an article I stumbled upon that has some information on Kane. Maybe some of it would be useful for the article. Man or monster? Now that Kane has taken off his trademark mask, we probe behind the brute's facade—and the results aren't pretty - DrWarpMind (talk) 15:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ECW Champion

Kane winning the ECW Championship at WrestleMania XXIV was an amazing acomplishment. However I clearly remember Michael Cole saying "both Undertaker and Kane walked out of WrestleMania as a world champion." According to Pro Wrestling Illustrated the ECW Championship is not a recognized world championship. I think the only reason it isn't recognized as a world championship is because its prestige has dropped since coming out of retirement and the only reason I think its prestige has dropped is because there are no other championships on the ECW brand. Would anyone be able to find out if any other championships are joining the ECW brand soon? Also would you be able to find out the real reason why the ECW Championship isn't recognized as a world championship? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomholdroyd (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Not that this kind of discussion is allowed on Wikipedia talk pages, I think it may be because WWE themselves consider the ECW Championship to be a mid-card title, like the Intercontinental and US titles. I've seen no official confirmations though. --Kaizer13 (talk) 20:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
back when RVD, Big Show, and Lashley were champions, it was treated as if it was on par with the WWE and WHC, although now it's been dropped to a midcard title —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdrouskirsh (talk • contribs) 23:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

[edit] Glen Jacobs

Resolved.

Who would support a move to Kane (wrestler)? King iMatthew 2008 10:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose for the reasons listed above. He has had several well-known ring names, so keeping the article at Glen Jacobs makes sense. This is in keeping with many WP:PW precedents for pages names. GaryColemanFan (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose there have been four professional wrestlers alone who have used the name Kane, not to mention he is well known as Glen Jacobs outside of wrestling as well. –– Lid(Talk) 13:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support I wouldn't consider The Unabomb, Doomsday, or Issac Yankem to be particularly well-known ring names, particularly since none of them have been used by Jacobs since the early to mid '90s. While the "Fake-Diesel" gimmick is more well-known, mostly for just how bad it was, it was dropped almost as soon as it was started. Jacobs has been best known as Kane for over a decade, something which I believe is bolstered to some degree by the fact that he stayed in character while promoting and at the debut of See No Evil.Odin's Beard (talk) 14:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose-I have to agree with GCF, Jacobs has been known for many ring names, unlike Calaway who has only used some form of "Undertaker" since his introduction to the WWF/E. Jacobs used to be called Diesel, a well known name, Isaac Yankem, also a well known name.--~SRX~ 14:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Lid. -- ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

N Not done King iMatthew 2008 21:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Err

If the consensus of this was "not done", why was it just moved? Did I miss someting? --Kaizer13 (talk) 22:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I've reverted the move. King iMatthew 2008 22:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] are half of the matches and other things in wwe fake and just stories ??

please tell me if anyone knows abt this precisely —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.240.234 (talk) 16:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

WP is not the place to ask these sort of things, but yes. Actually a lot more than half. But still, Wikipedia is not a forum or anything like that. THE $R$ Habla!Hancock 04:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Unless it is a worked shoot, the answer is yes. The most recent worked shoot to occur in WWE was "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's mention of Santino Marella being arrested on charges of Driving Under The Influence. Aside from that, roughly 99% of the things which occur in WWE are storylines. Things that occur in the WWE outside of the normal storyline typically end up as storylines one way or another.
