Jacobs is believed to have debuted in the World Wrestling Federation as the masked Black Knight at the 1993 Survivor Series, though the Black Knight has also been said to have been Jeff Gaylord. He later appeared as the evil dentist of Jerry Lawler, Isaac Yankem, DDS, in 1995 after Bret Hart damaged Lawler's teeth by forcing his foot into his mouth, and as Diesel in 1996, replacing the original wrestler to have portrayed the Diesel character, Kevin Nash.
1997-1998
In October 1997, Jacobs was repackaged as Kane, the storyline half-brother of The Undertaker. He re-debuted in the WWF at Bad Blood 1997 on October 5, 1997, costing The Undertaker his Hell in a Cell match with then WWF European Champion Shawn Michaels. Kane and The Undertaker feuded with one another over the following year, during which time their history vis-à-vis one another was expounded upon.
Jacobs first wrestled as the Kane character in a squash match against Ahmed Johnson on the November 3, 1997 episode of RAW. The Undertaker initially refused to fight him, saying he would not fight his own "flesh and blood" for show. This led to Kane interfering in The Undertaker's WWF Championship title match with Shawn Michaels at the 1998 Royal Rumble, costing him the title once again. After the match, Kane locked The Undertaker in a casket and set it on fire. This provoked The Undertaker into returning to defeat Kane at WrestleMania XIV on March 29, 1998. They continued to feud until Unforgiven 1998 on April 26, 1998, when The Undertaker defeated Kane in an inferno match with help from Vader.
On May 18, 1998, Kane was revealed to be the result of a furtive union between The Undertaker's mother and Paul Bearer, an employee at the funeral home in Death Valley owned by The Undertaker's parents. When Kane and The Undertaker were children, The Undertaker "accidentally" burned down the funeral home, killing their parents and hideously scarring Kane both physically and mentally (the parents of The Undertaker are supposedly buried somewhere on Long Island; during an episode of RAW taped on Long Island, Kane and Bearer ostensibly exhumed their bodies and brought them to the arena). Bearer, who survived the fire, hid Kane in a mental asylum as he grew up and went on to form an alliance with The Undertaker (the details of "Kane's" early life were recounted in the book Journey into Darkness). After suffering mistreatment at the hands of The Undertaker, Bearer opted to bring Kane in to the WWF in order to gain vengeance upon The Undertaker.
The Kane character is portrayed as being psychologically unstable: depressed, schizophrenic, extremely violent and quick to anger. Like his half-brother, Kane is supposedly able to summon fire and bolts of lightning at will (although this particular talent has been alternately emphasised or de-emphasised depending upon the creative direction of the WWF at the time).
After defeating The Undertaker to win a WWF Championship title shot, Kane won the WWF Championship at the 1998 King of the Ring pay-per-view on June 28, 1998, defeating "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a First Blood match. He went on to form a tag team with Mankind, with whom he won the WWF World Tag Team Championship.
1999-2000
In 1999, Kane joined The Corporation. He eventually turned face after he was betrayed by Corporation member Chyna and thrown out of the stable. His face run ended when he allied with The Undertaker, turning him heel once again. After he and The Undertaker split, he turned face once again and formed a tag team with X-Pac. While teaming with X-Pac, Kane evolved from being mute to aided speech through an electrolarynx to speaking (albeit infrequently) unaided (with his first words being "suck it") and acquired a girlfriend, Tori. The tag team broke apart when X-Pac rejoined D-Generation X. In the course of their feud, Tori betrayed Kane and joined D-Generation X, and the former partners engaged in a lengthy feud that finally ended at WrestleMania 2000, where Kane triumphed over his former partner.
Shortly after WrestleMania, Kane suffered a hand injury that kept him out of action for a month. When he returned, it was to help The Undertaker and The Rock fight off the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. His involvement in this feud culminated in a main event match at King of the Ring 2000 against Vince and Shane McMahon, and then Champion Triple H. The Undertaker and Kane's rivalry resurfaced during the match, but they patched things up soon after. Kane later turned heel once again by assaulting The Undertaker, leading to a match between the two at SummerSlam 2000. The match ended when The Undertaker removed Kane's mask, causing him to flee the ring.
Kane stayed in contention for the WWF Championship for the remainder of the year, and ended 2000 in a feud with Chris Jericho.
2001-2002
Kane reformed his alliance with The Undertaker immediately before the 2001 Royal Rumble (in which he eliminated a record number of wrestlers, 11, and was the runner-up). In early 2001, Kane competed for the WWF Hardcore Championship, defeating Raven for the title at WrestleMania X-Seven in a match that also featured The Big Show. At the same time, Kane began teaming with The Undertaker as the "Brothers of Destruction". In the course of the year, they feuded with Edge and Christian, Rikishi and Haku and The Two-Man Power Trip. While feuding with The Two-Man Power Trip, Kane defeated Triple H at Judgment Day 2001 to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship. He later lost the title to Albert on an episode of SmackDown! following interference from Diamond Dallas Page.
During The Invasion, Kane and The Undertaker feuded with Diamond Dallas Page and Chris Kanyon after Page began stalking The Undertaker's wife Sara. The feud culminated at SummerSlam 2001, when Kane and The Undertaker defeated Page and Kanyon in a steel cage match, resulting in them holding both the WWF World Tag Team Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship. Kane and The Undertaker went on to defeat KroniK at Unforgiven 2001, and both participated in the ten man survivor series match at the 2001 Survivor Series as members of "Team WWF".
In 2002, Kane began feuding with Kurt Angle, whom he lost to at WrestleMania X8. On March 25, 2002, the WWF was divided into two "brands", RAW and SmackDown!, with both Kane and The Undertaker being drafted to RAW. Kane went on to feud with the New World Order until tearing his bicep. Kane returned to WWE television in the summer of 2002, winning the World Tag Team Championship with The Hurricane. On October 7, 2002, Kane successfully single-handedly defended the World Tag Team Championship in a four team Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (The Hurricane had been attacked earlier that evening and was thus unable to compete).
In October 2002, Kane began feuding with Triple H, leading to a match at No Mercy 2002 on October 20, 2002 in which both Kane's WWE Intercontinental Championship and Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship were at stake. In the weeks preceding the match, Triple H claimed that, several years earlier, Kane had had an unrequited relationship with a woman named Katie Vick. He went on to claim that, after Vick was killed in a car crash, Kane (the driver) raped her corpse. Triple H later threatened to show video footage of Kane committing the act in question; however, the footage that finally aired showed Triple H (dressed as Kane) simulating necrophilia with a mannequin in a casket. The storyline was very unpopular with fans, and was de-emphasised before the title match. Triple H went on to defeat Kane at No Mercy, unifying the two titles.
2003-2004
Kane Unmasked

Kane Unmasked
Kane formed a tag team with Rob Van Dam, with the duo eventually winning the World Tag Team Championship. In June 2003, Triple H offered Kane a spot in his stable "Evolution". RAW Co-General Manager "Stone Cold" Steve Austin offered Kane the opportunity to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship if he rejected Triple H's offer; however, Co-General Manager Eric Bischoff insisted that Kane unmask should he lose the match. Kane accepted Austin's offer and went to challenge Triple H the following week in Madison Square Garden. Triple H won the match, and Kane removed his mask, revealing that his face was not actually scarred. He then immediately turned heel by chokeslamming Van Dam, who he went on to defeat at SummerSlam 2003. In an interview with Jim Ross, it became apparent that Kane's facial scars were actually mental scars. At the end of this interview, Kane, believing that he was being mocked, attacked Ross and set him afire.
Unmasking rendered Kane emotionally unstable, on one occasion driving him to Tombstone Linda McMahon on the RAW stage. This action sparked a feud between Kane and Linda's son Shane, with Kane defeating Shane in a Last Man Standing match at Unforgiven 2003 and an ambulance match at the 2003 Survivor Series. During the latter event, Kane interfered in a Buried Alive match between Vince McMahon and The Undertaker, helping McMahon bury The Undertaker and win the match.
In January 2004, Kane took part in the 2004 Royal Rumble match. Over the following weeks, Kane repeatedly insisted that The Undertaker was "dead", only to be met with various paranormal incidents such as a rainstorm localized over the ramp on which he stood. The Undertaker finally returned at WrestleMania XX (with Paul Bearer at his side), defeating Kane.
Following his defeat at WrestleMania XX, Kane fell in love with Lita, but was spurned. This led to him kidnapping Lita in May 2004 and asking her an unknown question, which she replied to in the affirmative later that month. On the same night, Kane won a twenty man battle royal to receive a title shot at Chris Benoit's World Heavyweight Championship at Bad Blood 2004. He was defeated by Benoit.
Lita later announced that she was "pregnant", with Matt Hardy (her then-boyfriend in both kayfabe and reality) assuming that he was the child's father. On the June 21, 2004 episode of RAW, Kane claimed that he was the father.On Vengeance 2004,with help from Lita ,Hardy defeated Kane in a no DQ match. Kane and Matt Hardy faced one another in a "'Till Death Do Us Part" match at SummerSlam, with Lita obliged to wed the victor. Kane defeated Hardy, and "married" Lita on the August 23, episode of RAW.
On the September 13 episode of RAW, Gene Snitsky accidentally fell on Lita during a match with Kane, ostensibly causing Lita to miscarry. Kane turned face as a result, and began seeking revenge against Snitsky for causing the death of his child. He lost to Snitsky in a steel chain match at Taboo Tuesday 2004, and was sidelined for several months after Snitsky crushed his larynx with a chair following the match. During his "injury" Kane was filming See No Evil.
2005-2006
Kane returned in January 2005, defeating Snitsky at New Year's Revolution 2005. He went on to compete in the "Money in the Bank" ladder match at WrestleMania 21. After WrestleMania, Kane and Lita reconciled with one another and began antagonizing Lita's rival Trish Stratus, leading to a match between Kane and Stratus's hired bodyguard Viscera at Backlash 2005 that was won by Kane. Lita later turned on Kane and sided with Edge, leading to a feud between the two that ended when Edge defeated Kane in a stretcher match on the July 25, 2005 episode of RAW.
Kane returned to WWE television on October 17, 2005, winning an eighteen-man battle royal. As a result of his victory, he, along with The Big Show and Shawn Michaels, was featured in an internet poll to decide who would receive a shot at the WWE Championship at Taboo Tuesday 2005. Shawn Michaels obtained the popular vote obligating the runner-ups to team together to face Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch for the World Tag Team Championship. The duo successfully secured the victory at Taboo Tuesday and retained their titles throughout the remainder of 2005.
In early 2006, he took part in an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship at New Year's Revolution 2006 on January 8, 2006, but did not win. Kane also took part in the 2006 Royal Rumble and the 2006 Road to WrestleMania Tournament. He and Big Show feuded with Carlito and Chris Masters throughout early 2006, culmintating in a successful title defence at WrestleMania 22 on April 2, 2006.
On the following evening, Kane and Big Show lost the World Tag Team Championship to Spirit Squad members Kenny and Mikey. One week later, Kane and Big Show faced Spirit Squad members Johnny and Nicky in a title rematch, but were disqualified after Kane "snapped" (ostensibly due to "voices in his head"). In subsequent weeks, Kane began attacking anyone who mentioned the date "May 19". During the match between Kane and Big Show at Backlash, Kane's voice began echoing throughout the arena saying "May 19", "They're all going to know", and "You can't hide from it," leaving Kane visibly shaken. Big Show then struck Kane with a chair, resulting in a no contest.
On May 19, 2006 Kane appeared on SmackDown! as JBL's hand-picked opponent for Rey Mysterio. After both the aforementioned voices and mask video began playing, Kane chokeslammed both Layfield and Mysterio before leaving the ring. On the following episode of RAW, he claimed that "May 19" was the date on which his mother and adopted family were killed in a fire. The voices continued on to the May 29, 2006 episode of RAW, when Kane was confronted by the source of the voice, a wrestler wearing his old mask and ring attire. Kane and the look-alike continued to fight one another in subsequent weeks, leading to a match between the two being scheduled for Vengeance 2006, in which the real Kane lost to the Impostor. On the June 26 episode of RAW, Kane threw the impostor out of the arena and removed his mask, saying "I believe this belongs to me."
Kane was absent from WWE television for several weeks thereafter as he toured Europe to promote See No Evil. He made his comeback at ECW, to face Big Show for the ECW title in July, where he lost when Paul Heyman interfered. He returned to RAW on August 7, defeating Shelton Benjamin in a No.1 contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship. He made an appearence at Summerslam 2006 during the DX versus The McMahons match where he brawled with Umaga. The next night, he faced Johnny Nitro for the Intercontinental Championship on the August 22 edition of RAW, and seemed to have the match won, until Umaga came in and interfered. Kane got back up from one Samoan Spike. However, he did not get up from the second one and was left bleeding in the ring. After what Kane did to Umaga at SummerSlam and Umaga interfering in Kanes' match, this could possibly start a fued between the two.
The Jinx Brothers:
For what seemed like an eternity, a couple of skinny southern boys with the name 'Hardy' took horrific bumps just to make the WWF Superstar look as good as possible on television.. Matt %26amp; Jeff Hardy were hitting the floors long before they officially adopted the eXtreme attitude.. Glorified jobbers with a willingness to job to the stars and the drive to reach for the top..
In the Mid-90s, if you tuned into WWF television you were sure to see at least one Hardy boy getting his *** handed to him by the any number of Vince's big boys, and often times they would take a spill over the top to the floor.. Of course, this was before fans understand how big of a deal that sort of bump was, so the Hardy's got no respect..
In an attempt to get the Hardyz over as more respectable opponents, they suited them with colourful costumes and big fuzzy masks and called them the Jinx Brothers.. They still lost most of their matches, they just looked more flashy.. The took all the same bumps, and with the exception of some strategically placed padding, had the same physical appearance.. The Jinx Brothers were thrown into the ring with the Grimm Twins, one of the bigger more powerful teams at the time.. Of course, soon after they dropped the gimmick, and started getting pushed towards their first WWE Tag Titles..
JINX brothers, and believe it or not, that was the Hardy Boyz under those crazy masks.. Ironically enough, the Jinx Brothers were the focus of our recent Hall OWW Shame inductee..
Together with Lita, Matt and Jeff Hardy comprised the trio dubbed Team Xtreme, their name serving as a reflection of their "extreme" high-flying moves. During the time they were in WWE together, they were one of the most popular tag teams, primarily because of their TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) matches with Edge and Christian as well as The Dudley Boyz, along with their unique "grunge"-type look that appealed to the WWE's younger fanbase. On top of the high-flying moves, they were faced off in a match in an episode of "That 70's Show" in which they played two wrestlers in a match. This episode's main guest-star was The Rock, but they ended up shown on the show and Matt ended up winning. The high-flying tactics of the young Hardy brothers and Lita would make them one of the most popular tag teams in the WWE at that time, particularly among female fans. The team would eventually split up, however, in favor of both Matt and Jeff pursuing singles careers. Jeff was later fired from the WWE and later joined TNA.
In August 2006, WWE.com announced that they had resigned Jeff, and stated that he would be coming back to the WWE. Jeff returned on the August 21, 2006 edition of RAW, where he interrupted Edge as he presented the new WWE title. Later that night Jeff defeated Edge in a non-title match by disqualification after Lita pulled Edge out of the ring
Reply:Yes, I remember Isaac Yankem DDS. That was Kane/Glenn Jacobs. He made his WWF debut just right after The KISS MY A** Match between Jerry the King Lawler and Bret Hart.
That was the Hardy Boyz under those crazy masks. The Jinx Brothers.
