Kane Reveals Real Reason WWE Created His Character For The Undertaker

TLDR

Glenn Jacobs revealed that WWE created the Kane character as a quick solution when Big Van Vader was arrested in Kuwait after an incident with a TV host who asked if wrestling was fake, leaving The Undertaker without an opponent. WWE originally pitched Kane as The Undertaker's masked brother for what was supposed to be a short-term storyline, but Vince McMahon liked the concept so much that he decided to invest in it as a long-term character rather than waste it on just one match.
