How strong was prime kane?
Demonically.
Jesus christ kane was big
>>2228970
He was the only guy that could beat Brock in a shoot arm wrestling match.
>>2228970
Da strongest after Marky Henry
>>2228970
He was the most over guy with one of the best moments in his unmasking. Then RAM creative fucked it up.
>mfw vader sandbagged him while taking a tombstone and kane still pulled it off
I doubt your average big guy could do that
>>2229024
This.
Prime, 24 years old, muscular beast Brock couldn't defeat prime Kane in arm wrestling.
>>2228970
Also that promo was fucking hilarious.
Rock's facial expressions sold it like crazy. Even Hogan looked convinced.
Kane is unironically one of the greatest of all time. One of my favorite wrestlers, all memeing aside. Off the top rope clothesline was based as fuck. Only guy I ever liked no selling offense. When he gets hit with a steel chair from behind, turns around flips his hair back, adjusts his glove and choke slams a nigga straight to hell. I marked every time. Good times.

>Kurt and I competed against each other at EVERYTHING. We hated losing to each other, but it was all in good fun. We even wrestled in the back – he was a little weasel. That was our things, and it went on for a very long time. Even today, there is no way I will let Kurt beat me at something.
>At one of the events, the guys in the back were all testing their strength through arm-wrestling and ‘mercy’. Most of them were there to ‘impress the divas’. I remember running through all of them, even Paul [Big Show], who had bananas for fingers. The only guy I remember being stronger than me and it pissed me off because I hated not being first, was Kane. No one in the WWE was as strong as that guy. Trying to slam his arm down was like trying to push over a tree with one arm.”
Anyone else miss the commentators calling him the big red machine?

This. Kane was an absolutely perfect monster character. his look and moveset were perfect and his backstory was cool.
Kane was not only extremely strong but he also had superhuman stamina.
i remember this ome match in the AE were the hardys and edge amd christian kept doing moves on him and Kane would just get back up doing that michael myers standup thing
>>2229271
Man i remember how hard i marked when Kane looked strong by laying down The Beast.
Sure there were Seth and J&J there but Kane was the one that looked like the big Ace.
>>2229046
This is 100% true.
Right after Kane unmasked in 2003 he was an over as fuck unstoppable monster heel and should have been the one fighting Goldberg, not HHH.
>>2229372
Unmasked Kane should have been booked better instead of bing buried by HHH and Undertaker yet again. I unironically like CuckCulture's take on how the unmasking should have gone down.

2001 Royal Rumble is a living proof that this nigga could go for years.
I can't believe he wasn't in this rumble.
>>2230195
This,he was tag teaming with orton against the wyatts when randy betrayed him and joined the family then he kinda just disappeared him as number 30 would have bought everything together,and make a lot more sense,but they had 2 send out the heat magnet for cheap cheer when randy wins
>>2230344
Is Kane hurt or something? Is he going part time? I heard he has lots of stuff outside the ring.
I met him (and JR, Xpac, and Terri Runnels) at an autograph signing in Minnesota in 2000. Full mask of course
>>2230372
I heard nothing about him being injured,he just disappeared from the storyline
One of my favorite moves is Kane's diving clothesline
>>2230388
when he was younger the dude was so athetic he looked like a high flyer even though he is 7 feet tall
>>2228970
His hand looks tiny
He was so fucking jacked back in the day
>>2228970
Watch 2001 royal rumble to find out.
>>2230607
>those dives from top of the cage and from top turnbuckle to outside
jesus christ, how does a man of his size do that and be able to walk in his 50's
>>2231126
meant flying clotheslines
>>2231126
he takes maybe 5 legit bumps a year.
>>2228970
Supposedly he could bench 600 goddamn lbs.
Though, without video evidence or competition record, I am left to believe it was some ribcage ricochet rep with three spotters helping him the entire way.
Still, the man was goddamn strong.
stronger than a farmer

Corporate Kane was a great character is a REALLY shitty angle. Even given the horrible scenario of the angle of everything revolving around The Authority AGAIN, it was done bad. They fucked up making it obvious that Vice President of Swole, Glenn Jacobs, knew exactly what he was doing as Kane. They should have strung it out with the corporate facade having genuinely no idea that he kept snapping, putting on The Mask, and chasing Seth all over every building.
But that line after he got Rollins the head from that Rollins' statue as a present, and just goes "It's your head 8D" was fucking hilarious.
Too bad he's literally incapable of having a good match anymore. Too old, too slow, too not strong enough.
>>2231169
I love Corporate Kane. He would have worked great without the previous Kane Demon gimmick.
>>2229184
When is the last time someone even no sold a chair shot? I loved that spot. Undertaker and Big Show have done it too
>>2228970
He was in a match a couple of years ago I believe against Ziggler, where Dolph jumped at him from the second rope, Kane caught him mid air and chokeslammed him.
>>2231169
There was also that promo where he ordered Rollins to lay down for him for a three count or he would eviscerate him. It was legit a bit terrifying and Rollins sold it perfectly, looking like he was about to shit himself.
