The way Paul Bearer painted the picture in his promos leading up to Kane's debut was cinematic.

Sting vs Hogan year long build

ECW's 1st ppv

Yeah they was in full stride too. Hart Foundation one of the GOAT stables out there every week

Blonde scumbag Paul Bearer was the GOAT

Remember the interview where he and Lawler "thought the cameras stopped rolling" and he told the story of how he knocked up Undertaker's mom

 

[THE 101]

There was a Taker match in 97, I think it mightve been with Vader at Canadian Stampede where Bearer just randomly looks into the camera and calls Taker a murderer. It always has me rollin

And to think the angle was partially facilitated by a mistake. At In Your House Revenge of the Taker, Foley was supposed to blow the flame at Taker, then Taker would duck and the fire would inadvertently hit Paul. But Mick couldn't get the damn lighter to work so after about a minute of fumbling around, Taker said fukk it and blew the flame in Paul's face himself, which gave him an extra edge and Paul a real reason to want to go at Undertaker and blame him for the fire - clearly he has no trouble fukking people up with fire

They went all out for that storyline

I miss that effort tbh

Today, Kane Jacob S. Kane would debut by showing up randomly backstage and with Dolph Ziggler at his side

Lawler had to have remembered that when Taker turned heel in 2001. All them times he saved JR, and he ain’t get out the chair once in that segment

my favorite part was the commentary afterwards where JR basically told him
