They always say 'Never meet your idol' I reckon Kane is one of the few people who you would not be disappointed if you got the opportunity. I love him with his mask and respect him without it, my childhood was spent idolising this man and I would not change a thing
Glenn has been my favorite wrestler since around 2000. He's got great in ring skills, great agility, great look, and one of the coolest gimmicks in the WWE. Still my favorite.
***** Not sure, honestly. He was great ever since his first appearance as Kane imo. Solid wrestler. I wish WWE would actually give him the unified title for a bit but I know they won't.
Sean Goldsbrough I wanna say 95 or 96 if im not mistaken came out at one of the PPV cant remember which one but he came out to confront the undertaker his "half" brother to let him know he was still alive
When Kane replied to the guys question about whether he's got political aspirations, the host laughed and went "you're a wrestler so" wow I swear Kane wanted to just tombstone him to the beauty salon
Because he is. Especially the intelligent part. He used to be the "big brain" student during his college years so it's surprised how well spoken he was in this interview
I have followed his whole wrestling career, he is not only an amazing performer, but he is the most amazing human being that has ever came into the business!
😮😮😮😮😮😮 I've been watching this guy since I was eight years old stopped watching about twelfth grade and I can't believe what I just saw lmao God bless him who woulda thought Kane was such a gentleman.
Wow... I have so much respect for Kain. Well educated, incredible athlete, amazing character in WWE "Kane". This guy is the real deal. I love him even more after this interview. You rock Kain!
sadly that's the way with many of the guys in the business. sometimes the guys most heavily pushed are truly one-dimensional on and off air, while some of the "nobodies" who have 100 times more potential are left behind as jobbers
Very intelligent guy I got respect for him in he seem to know so much about the economy I like that he has the smarts that most people don't have my man Jacob
He would tomb stone his opposition and light them on fire, and on the first day he would make his appearance with body costume and mask and JR would say "THAT'S GOTTA...THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE"
damn, I wish he would be given more chances .. tho I respect all he did and I even love his current Corporate character even tho its not the same .. this guy could've been much bigger, more legendary if WWE just let him do what he can do ..
Aleays found it so interesting that Glenn cpuld be so well-spoken, intelligent, hilariously human.. All while portraying an insane 7 foot monster who thrives on the suffering of others. This interview popped up on my recommendations, and i just sat & listened. The dude deserves way more credit & he should be in discussion for one of the goats of the wrestling business.
One of the few guys in the business whom it's hard to hate. Don't care who he was put up against, heel or face, he always has a following. It's a shame he wasn't pushed up more.
wwe increases wresters height. in 2009 Cm Punk was 6'21 and He's 6'2 right now. Same for Sheamus, he was 6'6 when he debuted WWE, now He's 6'4. Never trust wwe measurement
Steven O it's called body posture my friend... as you get older with gravity your shoulders roll forward/spine curles more.. hips twist downwards more.. its just normal part of life..
K and sounds very intellegent just by the way he talks, he articulates his sentences and he uses high vocabulary words. Glad he spent years pursing education in college before he went to do wrestling. Him, The Rock, Undertaker have set good examples of how important it is to go college first before you pursue you dream and that it may pay off one day.
Am I the only one who thinks that guy literally looks like a black version of Paul Heyman??? Kane looks very humble and huge by the way. Very nice guy.
this is a classic case of "Don't judge the book by it's cover"... Now i guess i know why the Character Kane starts to talk more as the character itself develops along the years... he can really talk intellectually... did he used to be a teacher before wrestling? i can see him being an English teacher or teaching Literature...
haha :) oh dear he seems like a nice man though when i watch wwf from back in day he was a monster nowadays they are dropping his aggressivness in wwe a littile for pg but even still i would never think he would be this wellspoken like cm punk
HE'S SO GREAT AND UNDERRATED HONESTLY...HE TRULY IS ONE THE ALL TIME GREAT WRESTLERS KANE!!! HATE WHEN THEY HAVE HIM LOSE HE ONE STRONGEST MOST FEARED CHARACTERS IN HISTORY..
such a great person. He has everything: a great personality, a very high politic knowledge and... let's face it: he's one of the BEST wrestler in the world. KANE rules. Glenn Jacobs rules more.
The early days of the WWF were pretty cool but when Hulk Hogan became champ soon after it became a candy cartoon joke of an organization. The WWWF was the golden era. I can go on and on about the great talent and great managers.
One of the quiet foundations of the WWE along with people like JBL who's loaded but still anounce's, wrestling is something that just get in your blood. That's why there so good cause they love the business while not being controlled or obsessed by it.
This made me like Kane even more. He seems like a really cool person outside of the ring. I always found it cool that I have the same name as his WWE character, and that he started wrestling in the WWE 5 months after I was born.
Glenn is the man really. a very smart and just great person all around i would love to met him! maybe i should ask Mick Foley i live the town over from him in NY i seem to run in to him every where since i was 12 im more then double that now but lol guess cuz we lived so close
OMG I can't believe I wasn't the only person who thought that lol! I gotta say though, I've been a big fan of (KANE) Glenn Jacobs for almost 20 years. I gotta say though it was kind of lame when he first took the mask off. However, seeing him outside his character, I have gained an unmeasureable amount of respect for this man.
+freakinkrang he's my favorite. The mask removal shouldn't had happened. It kinda demeaned his powers and image. The strongest dude to ever step foot in WWE.
Kane is an extraordinary wrestler. Given his height and weight, the things he can do in the ring are amazing. Very skilled, very agile and powerful, man, even his walk when he's on the ramp to the ring is so badass. As a person he's very inteligent, humble and down to earth. His spot in the Hall Of Fame is well deserved! Congrats to him. 🔥
The host's name is Hallerin Hilton Hill. He's Triple H!!!
He is REAL hhh
Good one
Lol
😂😂 yeah
Kane should not forget Title vs mask match
They always say 'Never meet your idol'
I reckon Kane is one of the few people who you would not be disappointed if you got the opportunity.
I love him with his mask and respect him without it, my childhood was spent idolising this man and I would not change a thing
KingKey 93 I want to meet Kane badly
kane might be the smartest wrestler EVER!!
wade barret may be smarter.... a degree in marine biology no less...
And strongest.
@@smudger746 Johnny "Raven" Polo is actually a MENSA member..
Xavier Woods has a PhD in psychology.
Matt Striker and Michelle McCool are also pretty intelligent.
Kane's favorite book is Lord of the Rings? Epic!
KalvinEllis - That would’ve been super helpful when explaining what a Hobit is to HHH
Kane is such a nice guy xD
xD

***** Not sure, honestly. He was great ever since his first appearance as Kane imo. Solid wrestler. I wish WWE would actually give him the unified title for a bit but I know they won't.
his first appearance as Kane was in the late 90's...
Sean Goldsbrough I know that but I found his character didn't really hit its stride until after he broke away from Paul Bearer and started doing more.
he is on of the best on the sticks (mic) I think
Sean Goldsbrough I wanna say 95 or 96 if im not mistaken came out at one of the PPV cant remember which one but he came out to confront the undertaker his "half" brother to let him know he was still alive
Overwhelmed to see the simple and humble guy behind Kane... respect !!
When Kane replied to the guys question about whether he's got political aspirations, the host laughed and went "you're a wrestler so" wow I swear Kane wanted to just tombstone him to the beauty salon
Αδερφέ
And now he's a mayor

anybody else think this dude looks like a black Paul Heyman or am I trippin?
Me too
+Angel Vidal holy shit he does lol
+Angel Vidal YES he does!!!! you are not trippin...
+Angel Vidal
That now cannot be unseen...
+Angel Vidal I thought that then I saw your comment.
seems like a real cool and intelligent guy.
Because he is. Especially the intelligent part. He used to be the "big brain" student during his college years so it's surprised how well spoken he was in this interview
A very intelligent and humble person. I have a lot of respect for him. Thanks Gleen for everything you had done for Wrestling.
I have followed his whole wrestling career, he is not only an amazing performer, but he is the most amazing human being that has ever came into the business!
My idol! One of the greatest days of my life is seeing Kane at a house show in MTL :)
That had to be rare and awesome!
I heard Kane tombstone the big show at house show is it true?
I don't believe in sacrifice, I prioritize.
I loved that.
Straight to the point
😮😮😮😮😮😮 I've been watching this guy since I was eight years old stopped watching about twelfth grade and I can't believe what I just saw lmao God bless him who woulda thought Kane was such a gentleman.
I almost thought that was Paul Heyman in blackface!
lmfao
Wow... I have so much respect for Kain. Well educated, incredible athlete, amazing character in WWE "Kane". This guy is the real deal. I love him even more after this interview. You rock Kain!
it's Kane dude
it literally says it onscreen and hes been wrestling as kane since 1997 man at least spell his name right :/
How’d you spell his name wrong…and then right…and then wrong again? 😂
Glenn Jacobs is a very nice man
and a libitarian.
Yeah
Best Wrestler!!!
I hope the Monster returns soon!!
You are a REAL LEGEND GLEN "KANE" JACOBS!!!!
I love listening to Kane/ Glenn Jacobs. Great guy. He's talented, super human, and super intelligent, too. He's a huge inspiration.
Damn...he's lived 30 minutes away from me all these years and I didn't know!
I wish I were you 😅
Ironic, degree in english literature yet never used for any real big storylines, and only mutters a few words, Kane is heavily underused and ignored.
sadly that's the way with many of the guys in the business. sometimes the guys most heavily pushed are truly one-dimensional on and off air, while some of the "nobodies" who have 100 times more potential are left behind as jobbers
Agreed, sad but true, so much wasted potential.
Well, with his new role as Corporate Kane, it seems that they're making use of his intellect. Let's see where this goes.
He's cut some amazing promos. Though his best mic work is usually reserved for feuds with Undertaker.
It wouldn't make sense to acknowledge it on screen...
Very intelligent guy I got respect for him in he seem to know so much about the economy I like that he has the smarts that most people don't have my man Jacob
OH MY GAWWD KANE'S FAVORITE SERIES IS THE LORD OF THE RINGS?! MINE TOO! ALWAYS LOVED KANE, AND NOW I GOT ANOTHER REASON!!!
I knew him for a little while. He used to play video games with me. I've lived in Knoxville most of my life and met him that way. Good guy all around.
was looking through comments and I'm kinda surprised that nobody else said these.. but man, the interviewer looks so much like Big E Langston... LOL
no he doesn't, doesn't look anything like Big E
Well, they'll be ppl telling you that no, he doesn't. Nice try tho! Lol
glenn jacobs for president
He would tomb stone his opposition and light them on fire, and on the first day he would make his appearance with body costume and mask and JR would say "THAT'S GOTTA...THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE"
Rick Ernst why Be The President, When He Can Be The King Of Spain 🤔
damn, I wish he would be given more chances .. tho I respect all he did and I even love his current Corporate character even tho its not the same .. this guy could've been much bigger, more legendary if WWE just let him do what he can do ..
He deserve more titles he was so powerful
Kane is such a nice sweet monster !!
Who thought that the guy talking to kane looks like Paul Heyman ? at the beginning
haha hi five hehe !
I did, actually. lol
I did lol
He looks like a black Paul Heyman
Someday i wanna meet him and tell him how much i love him...

great vid
One of the few guys in the business whom it's hard to hate. Don't care who he was put up against, heel or face, he always has a following. It's a shame he wasn't pushed up more.
If he was my teacher I think I would be the best behaved student in the history of the world!
6:42 Does it hurts?
There's table in front of them, Glenn should have asked if he wants to taste the chokeslam...
Kane's a fan of LOTR? Holy sh**!
He has good taste in books.
Oh and he's a fan of Slipknot too.Something i was shocked to find out.
theshow2k8 I love him because he likes videogames too
theshow2k8
fan of slipknot?
thats pretty awesome
Now that's a complete man that chicks dig... Glenn Jacobs is the best guy in the business. No drama or fuss with fellow wrestlers. My True idol.
6' 8"??? My whole childhoods a lie!!!
wwe increases wresters height. in 2009 Cm Punk was 6'21 and He's 6'2 right now. Same for Sheamus, he was 6'6 when he debuted WWE, now He's 6'4. Never trust wwe measurement
lol he's not even 6'8. Ortons 6'4 and Kane looked 1 inch 2 maximum taller yesterday on raw. Kane was probs 6'8 in his prime.
Steven O
fine, he's been 6'6 his whole life. Happy?
Steven O it's called body posture my friend... as you get older with gravity your shoulders roll forward/spine curles more.. hips twist downwards more.. its just normal part of life..
Candy Coated Poison He used to wear 3 inch lifts to reach the billed height.
Seeing Kane like that, normal, is the scariest thing ive ever seen
He is an expert in Economics to. There are some videos on here with him teaching Austrian Economics.
i saw
Too*
K and sounds very intellegent just by the way he talks, he articulates his sentences and he uses high vocabulary words. Glad he spent years pursing education in college before he went to do wrestling. Him, The Rock, Undertaker have set good examples of how important it is to go college first before you pursue you dream and that it may pay off one day.
and it did pay off then, he is the mayor of knoxville!!
Kane was always my favorite wrestler growing up in the 90's. I hope I can meet him some day, he's one of my heroes.
Wasn't expecting this at all.. Kane is a very intelligent person O__O
He is definitely underrated....
That's gotta be ... that's gotta be KANE! That's gotta be KANE!
Black Paul Heyman is a fantastic interviewer. He asks the right questions and allows his guest to speak.
This man deserve's be a long time world champion
"When the door closes sometimes we just stand there and stare at it." LOL
I always knew “Kane” wasn’t a legitimate 7’0” because Glenn’s other characters, Isaac Yankem and “Fake” Diesel were listed at 6’9”.
Kane he is super awesome and delightful gentleman
Glenn is a very intelligent man, However he does sound a little like Forrest Gump
Am I the only one who thinks that guy literally looks like a black version of Paul Heyman??? Kane looks very humble and huge by the way. Very nice guy.
this was just awesome. really inspiring
Such a humble guy is Glenn Jacobs.
Great interview!
One the most well spoken men in wwe
Kane will always be my favorite wrestler. I was a WCW kid till I saw Kane rip the cell door off in 97, he was a monster back then to
this is a classic case of "Don't judge the book by it's cover"... Now i guess i know why the Character Kane starts to talk more as the character itself develops along the years... he can really talk intellectually... did he used to be a teacher before wrestling? i can see him being an English teacher or teaching Literature...
Glenn was a third grade teacher at one time, yes. Not sure what the exact subject he taught was, though.
just fucking chokeslamming the children through tables if no homework :P
Backstab9499 haha... or Laughing maniacally while giving out pop quizzes or tests haha...
I heard he has a degree in literature
haha :) oh dear he seems like a nice man though when i watch wwf from back in day he was a monster nowadays they are dropping his aggressivness in wwe a littile for pg but even still i would never think he would be this wellspoken like cm punk
Love Kane. The man's amazing
HE'S SO GREAT AND UNDERRATED HONESTLY...HE TRULY IS ONE THE ALL TIME GREAT WRESTLERS KANE!!! HATE WHEN THEY HAVE HIM LOSE HE ONE STRONGEST MOST FEARED CHARACTERS IN HISTORY..
such a great person. He has everything: a great personality, a very high politic knowledge and... let's face it: he's one of the BEST wrestler in the world. KANE rules. Glenn Jacobs rules more.
This interview is facsinating, Glenn is such a great human being besides his evil charachter in wwe.Very inspiring person :)
LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!! I KNEW THERE WAS ANOTHER REASON WHY I LOVE YOU!!!!!
whats wrong with the interviewers eyebrow? Its lifted the entire time
leo renner I would've made a Rock joke, but i'd rather not.
Pun not intended
Kane stole Paul Heyman's ponytail.
lmao I had that same thought
Lmfao
Lmfao
He's such an inspiration ♥.
This looks around 2011/2012.
Kane looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in this interview LOL.
the last of the old schoolers.... I what the WWE is now... a bunch of nobody's...
He was a teacher before he became a wrestler.
he's a smart dude and one of the last guys connected to the cool past of the old WWE not what the WWE is today
liveclassictunes i agree him and triple hhh are my fav :-) in present times and Hogan in the past .
liveclassictunes When it was WWF, that was the golden era.
The early days of the WWF were pretty cool but when Hulk Hogan became champ soon after it became a candy cartoon joke of an organization. The WWWF was the golden era. I can go on and on about the great talent and great managers.

The big red machine.legend 👊

He seems so awesome out side of wrestling!!!!
The host looks like a black Paul Heyman lol!
as a child, I used to think that kane wore a wig or had his hair sold in when he wore a mask.
but no it was his own hair
no it was a wig once and now
It was his real longer hair up until the night he unmasked in 2003. That day he cut and shaved his hair accordingly.
Master Of Chokeslam The Big Red Machine Mr.Kane
Reminds me of Vader. He's an educated guy and owns a business. He also has a short temper, too.
soon as kane brought up politics, im like, aw yea this man's got a conscious...Thumbs up Glenn!
Lol the host looks like the mayor from lazy town
If there would be a fallout movie based on fallout series and I had a chance to direct it, Id have Glen Jacobs play a mutant role.
my second best wrestler after undertaker. he looks very intelligent and sophisticated when he isn't going berserk and chokeslamming people.
Glenn is the man really. a very smart and just great person all around i would love to met him! maybe i should ask Mick Foley i live the town over from him in NY i seem to run in to him every where since i was 12 im more then double that now but lol guess cuz we lived so close
Big red president
kane is the most smartest wrestler that i've seen
he is a very good speaker and very intelligent
Doesn't kane look like Jesse Ventura in this inv?
The Big Red Intellectual!
6'8 300+ monster
What a humble guy
The black Paul Heyman?
OMG I can't believe I wasn't the only person who thought that lol! I gotta say though, I've been a big fan of (KANE) Glenn Jacobs for almost 20 years.
