Kane says his corporate gimmick was “a really good idea” from Triple H but “the execution wasn’t that great”
While speaking with the Going Ringside podcast at River City Wrestling Con, Kane (Glenn Jacobs) reflected on his corporate gimmick as part of The Authority in 2014-2015…
“It was a really good idea, but the execution wasn’t that great. And again, the reason was because everything moves so fast, and sometimes we just forget the idea.
The idea of Corporate Kane was Corporate Kane as Corporate Kane. I don’t even know why he called it Corporate Kane—I didn’t even like that. He was never supposed to wrestle; he was just a mouthpiece. And then when The Authority needed an enforcer, that’s when Kane put on the mask. Okay?
But they were never supposed to touch the guy in the suit, and that whole thing got completely lost. And it was almost like The Great Muta, where you have two characters, you know? And Kane in the suit never would talk about the other Kane wearing the mask. It just got lost.
That was actually Triple H’s idea, whose wrestling mind is unbelievable—but, you know, we talked about doing that, and that was his thought. And like I said, it just kind of got lost in the mix, unfortunately. And then I just ended up getting beat up by everybody.”
