* CreatorBacklash:
** His Isaac Yankem gimmick. He actually hung up on an interviewer who brought up the subject the first thing he did when he got Kane on the air.
** The Christmas Creature. He so despises it he's occasionally asked wrestling websites to take down pictures of the Creature.
** Katie Vick, for him and for Triple H. However, people ''still'' bring it up from time to time because it's so goshdarn hilarious to do so.

* ActorAllusion:
** You could take Kane's promo about how much he loves Christmas as a reference to his old role as the Christmas Creature.
** Wrestling/JohnCena once mentioned Kane gets uneasy during the holidays and hates trips to the dentist, a reference to two of his old gimmicks.
** His Corporate Kane gimmick is essentially combining Kane with Glen Jacobs' interest in politics, and then adjusting it to fit the political structure of the WWE.



* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Kane is a 7-foot tall inhuman agent of destruction with a penchant for setting people on fire or burying them alive. Glenn Jacobs is known by his colleagues and fans as one of the most humble and gracious people in the wrestling business, which is really saying something in an industry built on testosterone and ego.

** Teamed with Wrestling/AlSnow as Unabomb in [=SMW=] in 1995. Snow faced Ricky Morton once in a cage match, which can be found [[http://www.vcientertainment.com/Film-Categories/Wrestling?product_id=676 here]], so that Unabomb, who was masked and supposedly chained outside, couldn't interfere. Unabomb (Jacobs) did, coming up through the mat from under the ring. The masked Unabomb here was Barry "Recon"/"Bull" Buchanan.
** Also happened to him as well in 2006 with Impostor Kane[[note]]played by Luke Gallows[[/note]]

** The primary reason he was originally unmasked is because Glenn Jacobs was having increasing difficulty wrestling with the mask on.

Even Wrestling/CMPunk, who very notoriously broke from the company in the most public of ways, had nothing but praise for him on his podcast, stating that he "loved wrestling Glenn" and that nobody ever "had a bad thing to say" (about Kane).

* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Was randomly turned heel on the Undertaker before ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 2000'' because Taker's original opponent, The Big Show, had been shipped off to WWE's developmental league Ohio Valley Wrestling in an attempt to get him to lose some weight. Although if you need someone to go heel on the Undertaker on a moment's notice without a stated reason...
