Eventually, Undertaker lost his patience and refused to allow Bearer to manage him any longer, leading to Bearer's exposure of the secret. At numerous points in which Undertaker attempted to take attitude, disobey, or even defend himself, Bearer would subjugate him by threatening exposure of the dark secret. While "managing" Undertaker this time around, Bearer took to abrasively overbearing and harassing behaviors towards him at every turn. Feeling he had no choice in the matter, The Undertaker eventually obliged Bearer and became his protégé, though not like old times. After suffering repeated acts of retaliatory mistreatment at the hands of Undertaker, who was filled with rancor and bitterness over the betrayal incident, Bearer opted to exact vengeance of his own with an ultimatum: to either allow him to once again take over Undertaker as manager now that he had won the WWF Championship, or deal with the disclosure of his darkest secret. Bearer stood by his side for six years before eventually turning on him at SummerSlam 1996. While hiding his son away for years and apparently keeping this information confidential, Bearer, in the meantime, joined the World Wrestling Federation and formed an alliance with The Undertaker. The Undertaker reasoned that he had always known that Kane was the weaker and worthless of their mother's children. In the fall of 1998, The Undertaker admitted to setting the fire that scarred Kane's face, and, in the same process, killed their mother and The Undertaker's father. Unbeknownst to The Undertaker until spring 1998, his late mother had an affair with Bearer and, as a result, gave birth to Kane (therefore making Kane his half-brother). Bearer, who oblivious to The Undertaker at the time was present during the fire, hid Kane in a mental asylum during the rest of Kane's youth into adulthood. Their on-again, off-again feuding was typically rooted in the harboring of unresolved, harsh feelings from the arson incident dating back to their youth.įictional backstory Paul Bearer, Undertaker's longtime manager and Kane's storyline fatherĭuring The Undertaker's teens, he intentionally committed an arson murder, burning down his parents' family funeral home, in the process, killing them as well as the younger brother-or so The Undertaker thought. In what became a fickle WWE sibling relationship with Paul Bearer (later learned to be Kane's father) only adding to the pendulum and complexities, The Undertaker and Kane went back and forth from one extreme to the other: alternatively feuding to barbaric lengths and yet teaming together as The Brothers of Destruction from 1997 to 2020 (The Undertaker's retirement).Īs the Brothers of Destruction, they won three tag team championships (two WWF Tag Team Championships and one WCW Tag Team Championship).
With more deep-seated drama and dysfunction than other WWE tag team combinations, their relationship/brotherhood was furnished with an elaborately dark and disturbed domestic backstory.
