“Yeah, I consider that as the best piece of… I’d call it mythological storytelling that WWE has ever done. And what I mean by that is it was a full-fledged story. It wasn’t just like a storyline. You had these characters which kind of had existences outside of… If that makes sense. When you think about a fantasy novel or a comic book and have these characters that are larger than life and kind of exist outside of that context as well.”

Adding to that, Kane mentioned that the Deadman is one of the best professional wrestlers of all time.

“So, it’s just a little different than conventional wrestling storylines. So, in that respect, I think that he’s obviously one of the best ever. My two favorite moments probably were the despite the fact that did go on for decades, which makes me really feel old by the way. But, it was kind of the opening and closing to the first chapter. So, from the Kane debut, October 5th, 1997, at Bad Blood In Your House in St. Louis, to the first WrestleMania match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 14 at Boston Garden. And those were kind of the bookends for the first chapter of what would end up being, yeah, something a lot longer, I think, than anybody expected it to be,” Kane said.

The Deadman recently granted permission to a current WWE Superstar to use his iconic signature moves.

The Undertaker grants permission to Omos to use his signature moves

Omos has been regularly featured on AAA Lucha Libre. Currently, the Nigerian Giant has added the Snake Eyes and the Big Boot to his arsenal. These are two of the several signature moves of The Undertaker.

During a recent interview with Unlikely, the Nigerian Giant shared that he had gotten permission from the WWE Hall of Famer to use both the Snake Eyes and the Big Boot.

I have a ton of respect for The Undertaker. So, you know, I wanted—you know, I’m brought up by the old-school guys. You don’t use somebody else’s moves without asking for permission. So, I made sure to do the proper thing and say, ‘Hey, is it okay if I use that?’ Is it okay if I can borrow some of your moves and add to my repertoire?” (H/T – RingsideNews)

The Nigerian Giant’s latest appearance was at the Worlds Collide special event, where he teamed up with Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh to take on the trio of CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and El Grande Americano. After the match, he was confronted by the Ruler, Oba Femi.
