Kane Breaks Silence On Potential Return To WWE, Gives Blunt Response
"[Laughs] I don't know about that, man. Oh man. Brother, we were just talking about athleticism and movement and keeping up with the pace of people nowadays. That may have left me behind, guys," said the WWE legend, told SEScoops.
Over the years in the company, Kane managed to win virtually everything that was on offer. He has reigned as the WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW World Champion. Though a champion like him deserves a proper farewell, but the current situation makes that quite tricky.
During another interview, Kane, who is the Knox County mayor at the moment, recalled his first interaction with Vince McMahon, the co-founder of WWE.
"Yeah, I'll never forget my first meeting with Vince McMahon and he brought up the Isaac Yankem character as only he could. He asked if I had ever been afraid to go to the dentist. I was like 'No I haven't been.' He's like 'Well I have this idea for a character, a wrestling dentist - Isaac Yankem.' He's like 'I yank em, get it?'
"Then he starts doing the Vince laugh. I was mortified actually because here I am sitting across from Vince McMahon who's the most powerful person in the wrestling industry and all I could think was 'Wait you flew me all the way up from Knoxville Tennessee to New York to tell me that you want me to be a wrestling dentist?'"
