Kane's backstory, which involved The Undertaker, was enough to make Kane a big attraction during the earliest days of the gimmick. Kane's ring attire too was very unique, the Big Red Machine would cover his face with a now iconic mask that hid away his face, and for many years fans would wonder what Kane looked like (even though Glenn worked previously as Isaac Yankem and the "fake" Diesel). In 2003, the decision was made to unmask Kane. Feeling that the company had done all they could with the character, both Glenn Jacobs and Vince McMahon decided that Kane's should remove his mask and reveal his face to the world. A short storyline played out involving Steve Austin, Rob Van Dam, Triple H and Eric Bischoff where Kane would put his mask on the line during a World Heavyweight Title match on WWE Raw, if Kane failed to win the championship, then he'd be unmasked in live TV. This video covers the unmasking of Kane and the storyline the WWE built around Kane losing a piece of his identity. 00:00 - The importance of Kane's Mask 03:04 - Early development of Kane 06:21 - Kane's attire evolution 08:55 - Triple H vs Kane - Title vs Mask 16:50 - The Jim Ross interview - Much more #WWE #Wrestling #Kane
