#3 Kane
Kane is a WWE mainstay, and many fans have literally grown up watching him wrestle. His road to legend was not always a smooth one.
Kane began his career in the independent circuit as Unabomb. Not only was the gimmick offensively named--the Unabomber was a serial killer with political motivations who terrorized the US until he was caught--but his plain black trunks and lack of any real personality failed to resonate with fans.
Apparently, WWE had some problems figuring out what to do with him, because they christened him Issac Yankem, DDS. He was a dentist who had bad teeth. It's ironic, you see.
After the dentist gimmick inexplicably failed to get the seven-footer over, he turned to being...fake Diesel. The WWE tried to pretend like Kevin Nash never left and dressed Kane up in his old outfit.
When this fizzled, he was repackaged for the final time as the Undertaker's estranged brother. At first, Kane never spoke, then utilized a cancer harmonica to communicate. When he finally began to speak, he formed alliances and became a more conventional character.
Kane is a former tag team and world heavyweight champion. His feuds with Undertaker, Matt Hardy, and Big Show are the stuff of legend, despite his limited ring skills.
Why he was so successful anyway: Kane is slow and ponderous, but he's also gigantic. His willingness to put over other talent and his great attitude backstage have certainly helped as well. Loyalty to WWE and consistency in his performances--though they were never stellar--made him someone the company could rely upon, and he was rewarded in kind.
