Glen Jacobs, the man behind Kane's mask, suffered through many ridiculous gimmicks during his long wrestling career. You'd think Unabomb would be the worst, but no...

"Fake" Diesel (officially called New Diesel by WWE.)

Fortunately, Jacobs struck gold with the Kane character. Who would have thought playing a burn victim with a cancer harmonica who was the brother of a man named Undertaker would be a career high?

Kane still gets in the ring, most recently challenging for Brock Lesnar's Universal title at a house show. The fact that a man that large can get around at all, much less at the age of fifty, speaks volumes about his athleticism.
