Outlook - Glen Jacobs was a good bigger wrestler, that has been successful in smaller promotions, but never could cut it in the WWF. Then he was given a career-making gimmick as the evil, deformed brother of the Undertaker. Their lengthy and unusual feud got Kane over fast. With his size, power, and monster persona, Kane will most certainly stay a star in the WWE for years to come. He is very content with his gimmick, though it is limited. Hopefully, for his sake, the writers are able to keep things fresh and keep the fans interested in him. Kane gets monster push after monster push before the glass ceiling gets in his way. He has been involved in some of the worst angles, but remains something special to the fans. Hoovering around forty, Kane will probably continue to play his role for a few more years before calling it quits.
