3.0 out of 5 stars WWE goes kayfabe for Kane
When I first heard about this release my immediate thought was, "A 3-dsic set for Kane, really? Do we really need 3-discs worth of mid-card matches?".

3.0 out of 5 stars WWE goes kayfabe for Kane, December 11, 2008
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
When I first heard about this release my immediate thought was, "A 3-dsic set for Kane, really? Do we really need 3-discs worth of mid-card matches?". Then I thought, why not a 3-disc set on the Big Show instead? Big Show's feud with Hogan in WCW, his WCW title win against Ric Flair, his WWF wars with Steve Austin, the Rock, Mankind, Undertaker and Triple H, his surprisingly good run as ECW champion; doesn't he warrant a 3-disc set more than Kane? Then, I read the match listings and remembered how good Kane was and can still be today.

Kane seems to be one of those wrestlers that fans take for granted. Maybe it's because he's rarely headlined a PPV or tv show (only his WWF title victory at King of the Ring and a handful of Raw main events come to mind) and has been pretty much a mid-card act since the debut of his character, or the fact that he's never been allowed to dominate like fellow dark side gimmick performer the Undertaker. What ever the case, casual fans just don't hold Kane in the same regard as Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Triple H or Undertaker. So why a 3-disc set? Because the ten plus year career of the Kane character, performed by Glenn Jacobs, is rock solid in both match quality and opponents. When you look at the match listing included here, it's a whose who of WWE, and many of these matches are in the 3 to 4 star range, not bad for a character that when he debuted I thought would fade away after his first match with Undertaker.

This set is surprisingly good, but before I talk up the good, I want to address the bad. First, WWE has packaged this set in the money saving paper-thin eco friendly packaging that is guaranteed to scratch the DVDs when repeatedly removed from their slipcase paper slot holders. This is an inconvenience more than anything else, because I simply bought some paper CD-R sleeves and placed them inside those and slipped them into the package. Since people stopped supporting the music industry and no longer buy CDs, I'm guessing most people 35 and younger have plenty of these sleeves lying around, so this shouldn't be an issue. Second, instead of doing a documentary WWE decided to go kayfabe for this one. In other words, Kane introduces each match in character and talks about the angles and storylines as if they were real. This is a let down, because I would love to hear Glenn discuss his career the way Mick Foley did on his DVD set, but I also understand why WWE did it. A gimmick character like Kane begs for his DVD to be done this way, but still it's a little bit of a let down. Now for the good...

This set contains some rare matches. I had forgot about the Survivor Series match where Kane took on Mankind and they wrestled under Kane's red lights for the entire match. The Last Man Standing match against Chris Jericho from Armageddon 2000 is a forgotten gem of a match. The best matches from Kane's feud with Triple H are here as are Kane's feud with RVD. There are also some great tv matches here: Kane vs. Edge in both a steel cage match and a stretcher match from Raw, Kane vs. Finlay Belfast Brawl from Smackdown and Kane vs. Undertaker (champion vs. champion) from Smackdown.
Plus, and this is a small thing, but I really love the way they introduce each match using a fire effect to burn and reveal the upcoming match, really cool.

Overall this is a buy, but the packaging, lack of a documentary and just a few dud matches keep this one from getting more than 3 stars, but with these flaws it's still worth a purchase for wrestling fans; sorry, WWE fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great DVD for Kane fans., December 11, 2008
By 
V-Man (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
Apparently I'm not alone in my feelings for this set.

This review contains one spoiler, but since it from a match that happened many years ago, I'm not sure if that's relevant. I figured I had better mention it, anyway.

I, myself am a huge Kane fan and this is a good, but not great Kane DVD set. It's more of a match retrospective than a career retrospective. And some of the matches chosen are odd choices. Overall, the production is great, and other than one match where the sound is messed up (it probably was during the television broadcast, as well) it's tops all around as far as quality.

As far as match choices, I know that wins and losses aren't really a big deal in Kane's career, but some matches that they went with were just weird choices. A lot of losses on this set. An example: They wanted a match from when he teamed with Undertaker (when Taker was doing the biker thing, which I kind of liked, admittedly) and they picked the tables match with them against Edge & Christian and The Dudleys... a match that Kane and Taker lost and honestly didn't fare that well in (and were out of character, staying out of the match for several minutes due to chair shots, something that neither Kane nor Taker usually had much trouble with, so that the other teams would wrestle a while). Why wouldn't they show one of the numerous matches that they won and actually put the team over, since they're supposed to be so "dominant?" Odd. Even the tag match between Kane and Taker against HHH and Steve Austin would have been a better choice than my example. At least that match had some good psychology (Kane being injured and isolated from his partner). They still lost, if I remember correctly, but at least it was a better match. I don't mind a good tables match, or ladder match or whatever, but this one wasn't even that good, IMO.

There were several other choices like this as well, where there was a much better match that could have been chosen over what they went with.

Just odd choices in some cases...

I'm happy to see one of the WWF/WWE's best workers finally get a long-overdue retrospective DVD, but I can't help but think that they could have done better. There are a lot of good matches on here, but a lot of asking the question "why did they put this match on here? Why not this one???"

If you're a Kane fan, you'll love it (and I do), but it's not perfect.

While I still await a true career retrospective DVD, with behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from his peers, this is a great way to feed that hunger while I wait.

I still recommend it for Kane fans, as it's got some great moments and matches, but prepare to be puzzled if you're at all familiar with Kane's history in the ring.

I got the Kane DVD today and I was very disappointed with the packaging because they put it in sleeves instead of hubs! I hope they don't start doing this, I just have to be more careful with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Big Red Machine....., September 21, 2011
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
He brings Hellfire and Brimstone, he's ominous, destructive and evil, but what else could you expect from the Undertaker's brother. He's Kane and this is his story told through many of the big man's classic encounters. We hear from the man himself though he's in character and doesn't provide a ton of insight about his career beyond pushing the storyline that leads to the upcoming match.

Disc 1

-11/9/97, Survivor Series, Special Challenge Match, vs. Mankind: A little under a month after his debut we get this hard hitting match where there's an eerie red light over the ring. Mankind tries his best even hits the clothesline over the top rope but Kane lands on his feet then throws the steel steps at Mankind. Back in the ring Mankind throws everything at Kane including a massive piledriver then locks the mandible claw on Paul Bearer, but Kane launches Mankind through the announce table. A bit later Kane hits the Tombstone and makes the cover to win the match. 7/10.

-3/29/98, Wrestlemania XIV, vs. Undertaker: After he swore he would never fight his brother, Taker was pushed to far and said he would send his brother to hell. This is one of the few Wrestlemania matches where Taker had to fight from underneath as Kane just seemed to have his number, as he countered his brother's moves, while nothing that Taker did seemed to keep Kane down. It took three Tombstones for Taker to finally defeat Kane and win the match. 8/10.

-4/26/98, Unforgiven, Inferno Match, vs. Undertaker: Very cool match here as its your standard big man match but the gimmick adds a nice element to it. Kane beats down his brother and even brings a chair into the ring and both men try there best to avoid the flames around the ring. Kane does get out of the ring, but Vader comes down and they battle back to the ring where Taker hits the trademark dive to the outside. Taker uses a chair to knock his brother out, then beats up Paul Bearer, goes back to the ring, kicks Kane into the flames and Kane's arm catches fire, Taker is declared the winner. 8/10.

-6/28/98, King of the Ring, First Blood Match for the WWE Championship, vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (Champion): A good one here that saw plenty of brawling and head shots as each man attempted to be the one to draw first blood. During the match the Hell in a Cell cage gets lowered then raised and both battle to the outside where Steve get suplexed on the ramp. They come back into the ring, the cell gets lowered again and both Mankind and Undertaker make appearances, the latter would accidentaly hit Austin with a chair knocking another chair into his face busting Steve open. But he battles back knocking Kane down, but the ref sees Austin's bloody face and calls for the bell and Kane is the new WWE Champion. 8/10.

-4/5/99, Raw, World Tag Team Championship Match, w/X-Pac vs. Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart (Champions): Fairly quick one here that saw the champs work over the smaller X-Pac for a few minutes before the tag to Kane, who cleans house and ends up press slamming X-Pac onto Jarrett who makes the cover and we have new tag team champions. 5/10.

-12/12/99, Armageddon, Steel Cage Match, w/Tori vs. X-Pac: This starts on the outside as X-Pac hits Kane with the ring bell then climbed the cage into the ring, once Kane climbed over he started beating down X-pac even catching him during a kick and slamming him down. There was some good usage of the cage, with Kane tasting the steel wall a few times, X-Pac however gets caught in a twisting backbreaker then gets slammed into the cage wall. There's interference from Road Dogg and Tori and later Kane hits a massive clothesline from the top of the cage, hits the tombstone and covers X-pac for the win. 7/10.

-12/10/00, Armageddon, Last Man Standing Match, vs. Chris Jericho: Very good one here as it goes to the back at the start of the match with Kane using all kinds of weapons including a prop box and a shovel, then they battle back to the ringside area. After a flurry of offense Kane takes over slamming Chris into the ringpost and down to the mat, then back in the ring he worked over Jericho's back and ribs. Kane was able to counter the Lionsault and hit a huge clothesline from the top, then just chopped him down more, hit a chokeslam but Jericho still wouldn't stay down. They battle back out into the entrance area. Jericho ended up tipping over a huge stack of barrels on top of Kane and he can't answer the 10 count so Chris wins. 8/10.

-2/25/01, No Way Out, Triple Threat Tables Match for the World Tag Team Championship, w/Undertaker vs. The Dudley Boyz (Champions) vs. Edge & Christian: Starts out with all three teams battling from the stage down to the ring, Taker and Kane hit dueling clotheslines from the top and some tables are brought into the ring. As Taker and Kane go to hit E&C with powerbombs, Haku & Rikishi run down and attack the brothers of destruction. The Dudley's hit the 3D on Christian to retain their titles. 6/10. Not a bad match but it doesn't really showcase Kane & Taker very well.

Extras on Disc 1

-Undertaker's Secret: First a hype package that shows Paul Bearer turning on his long time friend The Undertaker, the secret of course involved Paul revealing that he burned his brother Kane at the funeral home when they were children. Good, emotional segment.

-Kane vs. Pete Rose: Shows how baseball great Pete Rose fell victim to Kane and the tombstone at three straight Wrestlemanias.

Disc 2

-5/20/01, Judgement Day, Chain Match for the Intercontinental Championship, vs. Triple H (Champion): Kane had an injured arm coming into this match and Triple H went after it, hitting it with a chair and working it over to the point it took away a lot of Kane's offense. The chain didn't even come into play for the first couple of minutes of the match, Triple H did get busted open at one point and Kane choked him out with the chain. Stone Cold comes out and accidentaly hits Triple H with a chair and Kane makes the cover to win the I.C. title. 7/10.

-3/18/02, Wrestlemania X8, vs. Kurt Angle: Great match, Kane uses his size to dominate while Angle uses amateur moves and cheats a bit to wear down the big red machine. Kurt does have the ankle lock on Kane but he powers out of it. Angle has to resort to cheating by holding the ropes while having Kane pinned to the mat. Good match though, 8/10.

-10/20/02, No Mercy, Championship Unification Match, vs. Triple H (World Champion): Not a bad match, but this will always have the horrible Katie Vick storyline hanging over it. Both guys work hard and are pretty physical as Kane just beats Trips around the ring before Kane got clotheslined over the top to the floor. Trips takes over working on Kane's neck and locked on a sleeper hold, Kane powers out and even fights off Ric Flair's interference, Hurricane comes out but gets a pedigree on the floor. Trips gets chokeslammed through the announce table and after a couple of sledgehammer shots didn't work Trips hits a pedigree and makes the cover to retain the title. 7/10.

-1/6/03, Raw, w/Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho & Christian: Decent tag match here that saw the Canadians cut off the ring and hammer RVD, while things picked up once Kane was tagged and he took out both men. RVD ended up hitting a big kick from the top on Christian, Kane with the chokeslam, then the Five Star Frog Splash from RVD and they win. 6/10.

-9/8/03, Raw, Steel Cage Match, vs. Rob Van Dam: After Kane had attacked RVD and beaten him at Summerslam, we have this cage match where RVD did everything he could to keep the big red monster down and Kane just launched RVD into the cage a few times. Kane slammed RVD through the cage wall which gave away, with Rob going to the floor but Eric Bischoff comes down and says the match will continue. Soon after RVD tries escaping but Kane chokeslammed him off the ropes, made the cover to win the match. 6/10.

-9/21/03, Unforgiven, Last Man Standing Match, vs. Shane McMahon: Weeks before Kane had tombstoned Linda McMahon and Shane vowed vengeance and attacked Kane during his entrance with a chair and he took it to the monster early on, slamming the back of his head into the steel steps. Kane takes over slamming the steel steps into Shane's head and just beat down the younger McMahon, Shane comes back hitting the Coast to Coast jamming the steps into Kane's face. In the entrance way Shane slams a sign and a camera into Kane's face but he won't stay down, Shane goes to the top of the video wall, launches himself but misses going through the stage and Kane is up and wins the match. 7/10.

-11/16/03, Survivor Series, Ambulance Match, vs. Shane McMahon: This one goes all over the place, Shane hits an elbow through the announce table than the action goes into the back where Shane blindsides Kane with kendo stick shots then backs an SUV into Kane. On the way back to the ring Kane just beats up Shane and slams him into the windshield and sides of the ambulance. Shane ends up hitting a Coast to Coast off the roof of the ambulance, but he ends up getting tombstoned onto the floor then Shane is put in the ambulance, the door is closed and Kane is the winner.

-8/15/04, Summerslam, Til Death Do Us Part Match, vs. Matt Hardy: The winner of this match would get to marry Lita and with Matt having a knee that needed surgery shortly after this you can guess who would win. Matt did give it his all, even got some good moves in early on, but Kane was just too much as he would hit a massive chokeslam from the top rope and make to cover to win the match. 6/10.

Extras on Disc 2

-3/28/02, Smackdown, Kane is Ready.... Are You Ready?: Funny backstage promo where Kane shows a funny side of his character, that shocks Hulk Hogan and especially The Rock.

-9/30/02, Raw, Chicks Dig The Mask: Kane interrupts a promo by Chris Jericho, then gets a kiss from Terri, funny stuff.

-12/26/02, Raw, Kane is Quite Disturbed About The Current Situation: We have a promo by RVD and Kane, where RVD basically translates and simplifies Kane's words, again funny stuff.

-7/14/03, Raw, Jim Ross Interviews Kane: This was about a month after he was unmasked, where Kane ended up setting J.R. on fire. Cheesy but fun stuff.

-8/23/04, Raw, Kane & Lita Get Married: Its the "Wedding From Hell" as Kane marries Lita against her will I might add, though I did enjoy hearing from Eric Bischoff as he read from the bible. Trish Stratus does come down in full heel mode as she picks on Lita, who starts choking out Trish. Matt Hardy does interfere attacking Kane from behind and goes to take Lita away but a wall of fire stops them. Kane chokeslams Hardy off the stage through a table and the ceremony concludes with a kiss in such creepy fashion.

Disc 3

-9/12/04, Unforgiven, No DQ Match, vs. Shawn Michaels: A couple of months before Kane took out HBK who came back just before this event and its not a bad match though Kane/HBK isn't as good as Taker/HBK. Shawn was beaten up for a good portion of this match, even suplexed through the spanish announce table, then Kane works over Michaels back and neck. HBK comes back hitting his trademark moves, hits Kane with a chair, then counters a chokeslam and nails a somewhat sloppy Sweet Chin Music to pin Kane and win. 6/10.

-1/17/05, Raw, No Holds Barred Match, vs. Gene Snitsky: This was the culmination of a 4 month long rivalry that was pretty physical, but I honestly never cared much for the Snitsky character. However there is some good weapon usage as Gene hits Kane with a weight lifting belt and a chair, but Kane responds by hitting him with the same belt. Up on the stage Kane ends up jumping off the edge chokeslamming Snitsky and the match is declared a no contest. 6/10.

-7/18/05, Raw, Steel Cage Match, vs. Edge w/Lita: While the real life Matt Hardy/Lita/Edge events were happening, Kane was put in the role of Matt and so we had a few matches between Edge and Kane. Before the match happened Matt Hardy came from the crowd and attacked Edge and this was more interesting than what happened in the actual match. Kane got busted open after hitting the cage wall, but it seemed to ignite Kane as he beat up Edge and prevented him from escaping. However while at the top of the cage Edge hit Kane with the Money In The Bank briefcase and dropped to the floor to win. 6/10.

-7/25/05, Raw, Stretcher Match, vs. Edge: Kane attacked Edge during his entrance and beat up the R Rated Superstar, even placing him on the stretcher but Edge avoided being carted off and he came back choking out Kane with a cable cord. Great spot where Kane chokeslams Edge from the ring apron onto the stretcher. Lita distracted Kane then Edge put Kane on the stretcher and after a briefcase shot they both push Kane across the finish line as Edge wins. 6/10. However Kane would have the last laugh as he nailed Edge into the video wall and tombstoned Lita onto the stage.

-9/18/06, Raw, vs. Umaga: Its not a long one as these two monsters try one upping each other, Umaga hits an impressive bely to belly suplex and a few other power moves. Kane tries to knock down the big samoan and finally does after a big shoulder block, then hits Umaga with chair causing a DQ. 5/10. Kane gives two more chair shots then goes after Armando Estrada, taking him to the back smashing him into a garage door. Umaga comes to Estrada's rescue, splashing Kane into the door.

-12/22/06, Smackdown, w/Undertaker vs. King Booker & Finlay: Good tag team match that has the brothers just beat up both opponents, while Booker & Finlay do display some good tag team wrestling. Finlay does knock down Taker outside the ring and then Kane gets worked over for a bit, before a tag to Taker then a double chokslam and a tombstone by Taker to Finlay and the cover for win. 6/10.

-2/18/07, No Way Out, vs. King Booker: Not what I would describe as an artistic success. Kane hammers on the King for the first couple of minutes even choking him out, before Booker gets the advantage and hits a missle dropkick from the top rope for a two count. Booker keeps pounding on Kane before the big red machine makes his comeback, clotheslining the King in the corner a couple of times. Kane ends up hitting the chokeslam and covers for the win. 5/10.

-9/14/07, Smackdown, Belfast Brawl, vs. Finlay: Basically this is an anything goes match, Finlay attacks Kane during his entrance then kicks at the monster before Kane sends him into the steel steps. Its quite an intense brawl as both are pretty physical and hit some more stiff shots and I've always enjoyed seeing Finlay wrestle as he has a unique style. After a bunch more brawling Finlay hits the Celtic Cross and makes the cover to win. 7/10.

-4/4/08, Smackdown, Champion vs. Champion Match, vs. The Undertaker: If you've seen other matches they've had you've seen this one. There are some good wrestling holds and the usual trading of punches as well as power move for power move. Both men hit big boots and knock each other down, rise up at the same time then get attacked by Edge, Chavo, Hawkins & Ryder which causes a DQ. 5/10. They beat up the brothers but they come back chokeslamming and tombstoning Edge and Chavo.

Extras on Disc 3

-3/30/08, Wrestlemania XXIV, 24-Man Battle Royal for an ECW Chamionship Title Shot: This was a pre-show match featuring various mid and lower card wrestlers, since its a battle royal its pretty entertaining. The final two are Kane and Mark Henry and Kane hits a big kick knocking Henry over the top to the floor to win. 6/10.

-3/30/08, Wrestlemania XXIV, ECW Championship Match, vs. Chavo Guerrero (Champion): Following in his uncle Eddie's footsteps Chavo defends a world title at Wrestlemania. With that being said, don't blink or you'll miss it, Kane suprises Chavo during Kane's entrance, hits a chokeslam and pins him to become the new ECW champion in roughly 8 seconds. 5/10, cause its so short, though it was fun to watch.

This set does have some good matches, some not so great and a couple of duds, but the good outweighs the bad and its always good to see Kane in the ring as he's always entertaining.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for what it is., October 27, 2009
By 
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
The 3 discs contain Kane's best matches since the character of Kane was introduced around 1997 or so. The first thing I thought to myself was why doesn't the DVD start with the introduction of Kane for the first time at (whatever that PPV was) but that footage is included in the special features, so at least they did show how Kane came to be in the WWF/E.

I also wondered if they would even make mention to Glen Jacobs (Kane) career in wrestling before he became Kane. But those wondering, there is no mention what-so-ever of Isacc Yankem DDS or the fake Diesel. Tho, you would expect that. but the thing that I wonder most is why they have released this? Kane is still an active wrestler, and does not look like he will retire for a few more years to come. So you can give me the vote on a not helpful review, but I do wonder why it's being released now, and not after he is retired. Tho, they may just do a volume 2 later; or do another one later to make some more money out of it.

You can see in other reviews the matches that are on the DVD, so I wont bother to put them on here. Most matches are decent for Kanes style of wrestling. Everything seems to be there from the beginnings, to the weddings ect... it's just what I would have liked more of is the tag-team matches of the Brothers Of Destruction and an explanation to what the hell the Kane VS Kane bogus story line was supposed to be all about, but there is no mention of that at all.

If your a fan of Kane, it will be something you will enjoy, but for a mediocre fan, try renting it if your interested, it's not really a complete history of Kane, and may leave you a little disappointed in the end.

This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
Kane at his best some of the matches are mediocre but what can one expect from The Big Red Machine.The best one was the one with Hulkster and Rock pretty funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane DVD Review, June 15, 2009
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
Great DVD that has many classic Kane matches and many that are fairly recent. If you love the WWF/WWE this DVD will probably keep you interested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent but good, January 23, 2009
This review is from: WWE: The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane (DVD)
Kane is a great character, and this dvd is pretty good there is stuff that they forgot to mention. Like they talk about him teaming with X-pac and then they talk about Pac turning on him(no clips) and then the one on one match they had. They also don't mention Tori turning on Kane to go with X-pac, but I have to say that even if they didn't include that stuff the match listing is good. I love his matches with Shance Mcmahon the hardcore one were great. they even have hidden easter eggs. I won't spoil any just go to the chapter selection and look for yourself by hitting right or left one or two time on each one. Hint one is the bit where Kane says suck it. So, overall if your a Kane fan you'll enjoy this
