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
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
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!
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
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
😮😮😮😮😮😮 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.
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"
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!
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.
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..
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.
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.
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..
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
@@shamimibrahim1724 he was never bald..He wore wig for that much after shaving his head like bald ..Tbe story line was undertaker has burned his face leaving him half blind with burnt face..😂😂😂 He mentions that in another interview he was never bald
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.
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.
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.
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
Kane is such a nice guy xD
xD

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
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.
Overwhelmed to see the simple and humble guy behind Kane... respect !!
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's favorite book is Lord of the Rings? Epic!
KalvinEllis - That would’ve been super helpful when explaining what a Hobit is to HHH
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.
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.
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!
Glenn Jacobs is a very nice man
and a libitarian.
Yeah
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?
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

And now he's a mayor

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
😮😮😮😮😮😮 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.

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 🤔
Best Wrestler!!!
I hope the Monster returns soon!!
You are a REAL LEGEND GLEN "KANE" JACOBS!!!!
I don't believe in sacrifice, I prioritize.
I loved that.
Straight to the point
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? 😂
Kane is such a nice sweet monster !!
I love listening to Kane/ Glenn Jacobs. Great guy. He's talented, super human, and super intelligent, too. He's a huge inspiration.
Didn't know he had the long hair again after he unmasked in 03.
Damn...he's lived 30 minutes away from me all these years and I didn't know!
I almost thought that was Paul Heyman in blackface!
lmfao
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
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.
He deserve more titles he was so powerful
great vid
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.
He is an expert in Economics to. There are some videos on here with him teaching Austrian Economics.
i saw
Too*
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”.
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 ..
Someday i wanna meet him and tell him how much i love him...
OH MY GAWWD KANE'S FAVORITE SERIES IS THE LORD OF THE RINGS?! MINE TOO! ALWAYS LOVED KANE, AND NOW I GOT ANOTHER REASON!!!

he grew his hair back again that time wooww
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
this was just awesome. really inspiring
6:42 Does it hurts?
There's table in front of them, Glenn should have asked if he wants to taste the chokeslam...
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 definitely underrated....
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
This looks around 2011/2012.

Kane he is super awesome and delightful gentleman
Great interview!
If he was my teacher I think I would be the best behaved student in the history of the world!
Such a humble guy is Glenn Jacobs.
Black Paul Heyman is a fantastic interviewer. He asks the right questions and allows his guest to speak.
He's such an inspiration ♥.
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..
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.
Why has UA-cam decided to recommend me this after 11 years?
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

What year was this recorded?
This is a serious question that people should contemplate and consider, no matter the answer. For real, no sarcasm, this video has made me bonkers.
My guess would be early 2013 when he was still in team hell no.

just fucking chokeslamming the children through tables if no homework :P

It was his real longer hair up until the night he unmasked in 2003. That day he cut and shaved his hair accordingly.
