Triple H talks Austin Theory

[Cwalker]

so was Undertaker and Kane kind of supposed to be Cain and Abel based?

Something along those lines.

Funny thing is Kane was not supposed to be a permanent character. They need someone for Taker to wrestle at Mania 14 and then he’d be done.

He just got over and they ran with it

I tried to tell y’all he’s been a heel this whole time.

Man admitted to killing his parents and nobody batted an eye

What was the "final" version of what happened that was accepted bc I remember in 1998 and 1999 they went through all the possibilities lol I wanna say it was Taker did start the fire that killed them and fucked up Kane but it was an accident? Also never forget that Paul Bearer fucked Taker's mom prior, best swerve

If I remember correctly it wasn’t an accident. Taker had just turned heel again so they thought by having him admit to setting the fire and framing Kane would get him heat.

The whole Taker/Kane story in late 98/early 99 is very confusing

Ah yeah I think you're right

Then the only other development after I think was that Kane snuck out of the insane asylum he was supposed to be in during his teenage years and met a girl named Katie...okay I'll stop

 

[Sabretooth]

I think originally the fire was an accident but then Taker turned heel and Kane turned face so they actually said it was on purpose

 

[Chris]

Don't mean to derail the topic even more but one of the most absurd things I've ever seen in wrestling was when Paul Bearer and Kane unearthed the parents bodies and Kane chokeslammed Taker through the casket onto his mom's skeleton lol JR was trying to act disgusted and King was cracking mom jokes

Kane's whole backstory is just…

And….and….never forget they tried to retcon it in 2006 that he wasn’t even the REAL FUCKING KANE!

How did he not get arrested for digging up a grave

 

[Cwalker]

How did he not get arrested for digging up a grave

I repeat…

 

[Cwalker]

But it’s also wrestling so if you get arrested at the start of the show, odds are you’ll be processed and released on your own recognizance by the main event

 

[Chris]

The usual head canon I tell myself for wrestling is there's less legal issues bc the wrestlers don't press charges against each other since they wanna fight but....yeah thats not really applicable here lol maybe it's bc Paul Bearer owned the land, he was a funeral owner

 

[Sabretooth]

Let’s not forget wrestlers literally hijacking ambulances and driving them into the arena
