Paul Bearer dropped the bombshell that The Undertaker's brother Kane was alive. The revelation shook the Deadman to his core but he also had Shawn Michaels and a Hell in a Cell match to deal with.
The first-ever Hell in a Cell match saw The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels go through, well, hell. The match was enthralling and featured things not seen before on WWE pay-per-view.
The warriors lay beaten and destroyed as the lights went out and reilluminated the arena in an eery red glow. The organ music hit, and the Big Red Machine made his explosive debut.
Bathed in red and generating a threat not seen in WWE for years, Kane ripped off the cell door before confronting the shocked and stunned Deadman. Kane planted his brother with a Tombstone to cost him the match.
It was one of the best debuts ever in wrestling history. Kane's arrival was shocking, intriguing and impacted the WWE for the next twenty-plus years.
Kane instantly connected with the fans. He was a big mean monster that looked amazing. Every time he appeared, the WWE Universe knew that hell would follow. He was able to evolve and grow his character, changing with the times and adding new traits to his personality to remain relevant.
