message: The way this is written, at least in the beginning, can cause confusion as to when events occured.  
I'm thinking about making a timeline. --Chrissy 01:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timeline is a bit skewed. 

message: Is his actual height 7 foot as billed? As I have read that he wears risers in his shoes to boost him above the height of the Undertaker, though I am not sure if this is true.  -User:mysterious_w
When he is wrestling on tv, he is 7'0" with his 3" padded size 16 boots on. He is really 6'9" without them. If you compare him next the the Big Show who is a legitimate 7'0", you can tell he is not nearly as tall!
Big Show is actually 7'2".

message: Hm... the section on Journey into Darkness needs some clean up for structure and tone (it sounds like it has too much original thought there). Maybe we could give it its own article? --Jtalledo (talk) 17:16, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The name Kane is a biblical reference to Cain, who killed his brother Abel when God accepted Abel's gifts and not his own.
:Any truth to that? I assumed it was reference to the Undertaker, who at one time was called Cain/Kane the Undertaker...? --Jake Wilhite 14:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They dropped the 'Kane' bit from Undertaker and reused it for Kane, does seem apporiate though cause it does link nicely with the biblical Cain/Kane cause he's attacked Taker numerous times. Night Bringer 12:33, 3 June 2006 (GMT +10)
I have always thought there was some link between the biblical mentioning of Cain and his jelousy towards his brother. I thought the jelousy would have been that Kane was jelouse of Undertaker for escaping the 'Fire' unhamred. I think the attacks on The Undertaker back this up, especialy since Two of the attack have been costing The Undertaker Buried Alive matches
Another nickname they use for him is The Big Red Machine
Both true and sort of untrue.  The name Cain does come from the Bible and this was the original reason it was chosen.  The spelling is actually credited and used from the movie Highlander III starring Christopher Lambert.  Actor Mario Van Peebles played a swordsman known as Kane (not the spelling), and he moved around a little bit like the wrestler does now, and he too was supposed to be unstoppable.  That is how Kane's name was officially born.--Charles-Joseph 03:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Kane/Cain

message: Does anyone remember what injury Glen suffered in 2002?  And did it occur before or after Kane's beatdown and unmasking by the nWo? --Jake Wilhite 16:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a torn bicep, and it was after the unmasking.  McPhail McPhail 16:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

text: No, his unmasking by the nWo.  Not his eventual permanent unmasking. --Jake Wilhite 15:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

text: A little research on this points down the EXACT date that Kane tore his bicep in 2002. His injury happened AFTER the storyline of the nWo beatdown. The nWo beatdown occured on April 8, 2002 on Raw. Jim Ross' Weekly Report was printed on April 19th 2002 about Kane and his bicep injury. He stated it occured last Sunday while training in Abilene, Texas. WWE House show results will confirm that Kane was in action on Saturday April 13, 2002 in Odessa, Texas, but the results for the Sunday April 14, 2002 show states the following; X-Pac came out and then Howard Finkel announced that Kane missed his flight and so X-Pac made a challenge to the back and Big Show answered the challenge. So Glen's injury to his bicep could be confirmed to have happened on Sunday, April 14th 2002. Bgredmchn 16:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 2002 Injury

message: Why doesn't Kane tombstone very much anymore?
:Mainly because piledrivers are all but banned in the WWE now. Taker's is grandfathered in, as it's been his finisher since his appearance (except for a time in his biker gimmick when he used The Last Ride). Kane, however, used the Chokeslam for his finisher for the most part, and therefore was not grandfathered in. -Darryl Hamlin 20:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It actually has more to do with damage to his knees, a problem Taker has had as well. He stopped using it regularly long before piledrivers were outright banned. Tromboneguy0186 03:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it true that Kane is 326 pounds?
I doubt he is that heavy, looks more like 290 to me.(Halbared 11:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, that is basically his gimmick weight.  --JFred 02:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I would prolly think so, he looks more muscular.(Halbared 08:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Kane is about 275-280 pounds, as quoted from Jim Ross' Weekly Column at wwe.com (August 30, 2002). (bgredmchn 13:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Only in kayfabe. -- THL
Kane is 300lbs because of my experience of how he looks my brother is a professional strongman and weighs 330lbs at 6ft 9in and he looks smaller in size then Kane does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Switchat (talk • contribs) 
I think Kane is around 300 lbs. legit. He has alot of Muscle mass and a bit of a gut, (takes nothing away from his strength or ability) i hope he gets the title again sometime. SU121188 03:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: OWW says "Unibomb." Now, I'll admit that they do also refer to JBL's cabinet as "The Cabinit," so it's not as if Brad Dykens would win the Scripps Spelling Bee, but it's seems that there's a disagreement in sources. Tromboneguy0186 20:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's an authoritative source either way, unless it is covered in his book. McPhail 15:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone tell me the different outfits Kane wore and when? I know he debuted with a "sweater" look with only a sleeve over the right arm and that was used to 2000. Then came the tanktop in 2001. When did the one with both sleeves come in? --Aaru Bui 07:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Wrestling Attire

message: sources have claimed, kane will retire in januaray 2007, any truth to it, and should it be put on the article?
:It's still a rumour at this point, so no. If he retires in 2007, it can be added to the article then. McPhail 22:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with that. Unless the sources can ever (and they can't because of legal issues) get Glen Jacobs to be "quoted" as saying such, and NOT from "someone" with in the WWE saying (and they never mention who it is) it should be left off of here. This shouldn't be a wrestling rumor site, let's leave that to those that run those sites. bgredmchn 03:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
