If WWE revisited the iconic feud between Kane and The Undertaker, things would have to be done differently today according to the Big Red Machine.
In 1997, the demonic younger brother of The Undertaker made his WWF debut during the first Hell in a Cell match, costing the Phenom the match against Shawn Michaels.
After initially refusing to fight Kane, The Undertaker agreed to a match at WrestleMania 14, and the pair would feud multiple times over the years.
Speaking to WrestleRant, Kane was asked whether his initial program with the Phenom would hold up in today’s wrestling landscape. He said,
“It could still work. It would have to be done differently because Kane would have to talk smack to The Undertaker on Twitter, which would be very strange [laughs], but nevertheless, it could because it’s a timeless story, and ultimately the story is about two brothers who get along some times and don’t get along some times. The rest is really just bells and whistles.
“The story was amazing because I think it was mythological storytelling, and you had these characters and they had those stories behind them. Most characters in WWE are that person, or a part of that person, a personality trait, in many cases turned up to an 11. Kane and Undertaker were true characters. They were not just dudes that were, ‘This is me, but I turn my personality up on TV.’ They were different characters than Mark Callaway and Glen Jacobs are in real life.
“Ultimately I think that was what attracted people to it because everybody can relate to a sibling rivalry, and this was a sibling rivalry just done on an epic scale.”
Both men have hung up their boots, with Kane being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021, while The Undertaker was inducted last year.
