The Undertaker and Kane, the brothers of destruction, were at the end of several iconic storylines during their time in the WWE. Both the wrestlers were utmost dominant in the ring and fans always enjoyed their presence in the ring whether it was when they paired up and went against each other. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently revealed that it was his idea to bring both the giants to work together.
Vince Russo, who was a part of the WWE's creative team in 1990s revealed that it was he who wrote the initial chapters of the detailed storyline between Taker and the Big Red Monster.
"[on him being the one behind The Undertaker and Kane storyline] Absolutely!" he said.
The 64-year-old also credited narrator Percy for adding depth to the feud:
"I swear to god, what I loved about that more than anything that never gets the attention or the due was the narrator telling that whole story and that was Percy. People always talk about how great Kane and Taker were, but take him out of the equation, week to week to week telling that story, and it would’ve been half as good if you were lucky. He was the whole key and the catalyst to that." Russo told Sportskeeda.
Kane made his WWE debut as The Undertaker's half-brother at Bad Blood: In Your House in 1997. He was accompanied by Paul Bearer. The on-screen brothers went on to have a continued storyline for decades. During the period they locked horns as well as teamed up on various occasions. After performing inside the ring for many years both Kane and The Undertaker have retired from the ring. The Undertaker has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and makes seldom appearances in the WWE. Kane on the other hand is hall of famer from the class of 2021 and now established himself as a politician.
