Oh nice! Kane Debut

 

[Deezy]

Really should distinguish Glen Jacobs' from Kane, because Unabomber was not Kane.

 

[Chris]

Thought most people would know that the Kane character didn't debut in '92. I've always put their most known names for debuts, even if they didn't debut with that name.

 

[Deezy]

Just saying its better to use the character they were at the time.

Or just Glen "Kane" Jacobs would work.

That debut promo by Cornette at Slammiversary was awesome, the way he put over the tag title match was something too. It was back than TNA looked the most likely of really doing something, how sad to see how it turned out.
