WWF: Who's your favorite tag-team partner of all time?
Undertaker: Without a doubt, my brother Kane, If my brother and I ever solely focused on tag-team wrestling, I don't believe there's any duo--or probably any trio--who could beat us.
WWF: Since Kane found his voice, he's been more confident and powerful than ever. Does this side of your baby brother scare you?
Undertaker: Does it scare me? No. It's a side he's had all along. A lot of people have looked down on me for the way I've treated him, and maybe I have been a little severe with him. But when he truly realizes his potential and what he has inside, I don't think there's anyone who can stop him. He has all the physical and mental tools. All he has to do is realize what he truly is--and that is a killer. When he does completely realize that, you're talking about total destruction. I don't think there's anybody who could take him then.
WWF: Will you and Kane ever be completely on the same page or is there a part of you that will never trust him?
Undertaker: Hey, we have a storied past. We're closer right now than we've ever been, but we agree to disagree on a lot of things. I believe in certain things, he believes in certain things. Our common bond is our blood. And blood is thicker than water. We have an understanding: Anyone who jumps on Kane, they gotta jump on me. Anyone that jumps on me, they gotta jump on Kane. Not that either one of us needs the help, but it's a dog-eat-dog world out there. The Federation can only hold us back for so long. Together, we make our own rules and our own decisions. But yeah, we're as focused and together as we've been our whole lives.
"He's so dominant, perhaps the most dominant competitor in the WWF today is Kane" -JR (RAW 4/02/01)
"Who, who I ask you Paul, is more intimidating than the big red machine?" -JR

"And no pun intended but if there's anyone who has been a house of fire in the WWF as of late, it's the Intercontinental Champion, Kane." -Paul Heyman
"Kane, what a King of the Ring Kane would make, no one at King of the Ring can be any more physically dominant than The Big Red Machine." -JR (RAW 6/11/01)
"Kane certainly has animal like tendencies to say the least." -JR
"He is complete and total domination, The Big Red Machine Kane" -Michael Cole
"Kane?! Are you mad man?! No one wants to wrestle Kane, no one wants to fight The Big Red Machine.
He's a monster!" -William Regal
"he scares me...absolutely to death...he scares me." -Paul Heyman
"I can think of a million places I'd rather be than joined at the wrist with Kane by a chain." -JR
Kane is scary enough as it is, he's not a man he's a damn monster!" -Paul Heyman (RAW 5/14/01)
Word Association: Kane = Awesome - Undertaker
(taken from the article "The Deadman Speaks" by: Mike Fazioli in the June 2001 issue of WWF Magazine)
"Of all the people that I ever tagged with, I'm enjoying Kane and my relationship right now more than ever. We have very similar styles and I don't look at Kane as a rip off of me. I feel honored that he has listened to and taken some of my guidance and he's taking his career and has made a huge name for himself and I think this past Thursday's Smackdown Kane just went to another level, you seen a whole different side of Kane Thursday that no one has ever seen and I think the sky's the limit for that guy and given the opportunity, you know Kane is going to be a huge star for a long time and it has nothing to do with The Undertaker, I'll tell you that." -Undertaker
"...We were standing there doing that interview and I could hear Kane and you could hear him just in pain and then going into the ring and the story that unfolded during the match with continually working on the arm that was probably like you say, one of Kane's finest moments." -Kevin Kelly
"It really was, we left the arena that night and we rode together and it was almost like he was my son and I'm not belittling him at all by saying that, I was just so proud of Kane for that whole night and you know it's a testament to Kane that he can stand on his own after Thursday night's performance. He has transcended, he has come so far in his career and he's developed into such a top star and Thursday was just a small indication of that and I'm so happy for him, you know I'm his biggest fan and I think he's only scratched the surface of the star that he'll become." -Undertaker
(referring to Kane's performance on Smackdown 4/19/01 from his interview on Byte This! 4/20/01)
"I don't think, and maybe you might even agree with this, we've had a more intimidating Hardcore Champion in WWF history." -JR
"You damn right I agree with it. Kane, he's not a man he's a monster." -Paul Heyman (RAW 4/16/01)
"Kane is an awesome specimen, you gotta admit that, awesome specimen, gotta give props and the credit where it's due and he and the Undertaker together are obviously a force to reckon with, a very impressive force."
-Vince McMahon (Smackdown 4/05/01)
"Is
there anyone that can stand up to the brothers of destruction?" -Paul Heyman
"Not in this galaxy." -JR
"For my money, this young man Kane, may be the future of the WWF." -JR
"Nobody, nobody at all, for your money, for my money, for Mr. McMahon's money, I'll tell you this, Kane scares the hell out of me." -Paul Heyman (Wrestlemania X-Seven)
"A better double take is the one Kane gets when you see him for the first
time. He's got the best body of them all. His body says "Don't
fuck with me" in a big, cornfed way and I think that's cool."
-Chyna (from her book Chyna The 9th Wonder of the World If They Only Knew)
"Kane has the ability to draw a crowd. The action figures have been successful. Kids like him because he looks like a superhero."
-Glenn Jacobs (taken from TN News-Sentinel atricle)
