Kane Says His Pyro Cue Taunt Was Originally Suggested By The Undertaker

Kane says that his pyro cue taunt was something that was originally suggested by The Undertaker due to it being the opposite of what he does.

When Kane entered the ring, he would walk to the middle and would execute a taunt where he would raise his arms into the air and then dropped them, triggering the pyro that would be present on the ring posts.

While speaking to WWE’s Photo Shoot in a new interview, Kane spoke about several of his biggest moments in the company.

“I ripped the door off the Hell in a Cell cage and got in there with Undertaker. The pyro cue that I use where I raise my arms and throw them back down, that was his idea because it was the opposite of what he would do. He would raise his hands and bring the arena lights up. I was the opposite of him, so I’d throw my hands down.”

‘The Big Red Machine’ would continue, highlighting the influence Paul Bearer had over his career in the early days.

“On a personal note, Bill Moody, who portrayed Paul Bearer, he was instrumental also in my success as Kane because there’s a lot of things that, as far as pressure and stress, and you’re in this situation now where you’re one of the top stars in the company, and he really helped me through all that. He would book our travel for the both of us. He didn’t have to do that, but he did because he wanted to make things as easy as he could on me.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Kane spoke about the highlight of his time as Isaac Yankem. You can read more about that here.
