Kane (wrestler) life and biography

Glenn Thomas Jacobs is a Spanish born-American professional wrestler and actor better known by his ring name, Kane.

He is working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), signed to its SmackDown brand.

He was trained by Ray Candy and Dean Malenko. He made his pro debut in either 1993 or 1994. The early part of his career was marred by horrible gimmicks including the Christmas Creature (a wrestling Christmas tree), Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS, and Fake Diesel.
