Kane

Telegraph interview
Kane talks to The Telegraph about new up-and-coming stars in the WWE.
I think the upcoming talent is great. For awhile I was very worried about the future of WWE because I worried about where the stars would come from. But WWE has done a fabulous job in partnering with Full Sail University, for WWE’s training facility. Some of the guys are second and third generations, but the thing about WWE’s training, is they learn our system before going on the roster, it’s more seamless. WWE’s future is bright.
The Rack radio interview
Kane sits down with The Rack radio show to discuss acting and his favorite Hell in a Cell moment.
Well, my favorite would have to be, of course, my debut and ripping the door off and going in and giving a tombstone piledriver to The Undertaker and having Vince (McMahon) screaming ‘That’s gotta be Kane!’; that would far and away have to be my favorite moment.
Alternativenation.net interview
Kane talks to Alternativenation.net about Sting coming to WWE and Triple H’s leadership.
He’s done a tremendous job with the Performance Center in Orlando, and with NXT. They have a great product, the guys that are coming out of there are really great. I was just thinking about that the other day, you could always tell there was something special about him. Certainly he knows the wrestling business like no one else, he’s got a fabulous mind. When you’re talking about people I’ve worked with who have influenced me as far as character development, he’s one of them. I don’t know which is more surprising, the fact that he’s in the role that he’s in, or that I’m still here in WWE 20 years later.

I’m not like sitting in the back with a notepad thinking ‘maybe this will make them think I’m crazy’. That’s how I really am you know? My views on this and that, which I really don’t want to delve into, but my views are that of the real me. There is no character.

When the Rock comes back, that takes to a completely different level. The interest he generates is mainstream. It’s beneficial, more so than anyone else can do, frankly.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic. And you’ve had this experience, too.

And you know, the stuntmen, those guys know how to count, but when you’re an actor and you can set your arm on fire, you feel kind of magical. And I always forget to count. I’ve singed my eyebrows
