On the latest episode of Six Feet Under, Kane talked about his past gimmicks, including Dr. Isaac Yankem and Fake Diesel. You can check out some highlights below:

On whether he had the worst gimmicks in wrestling history: “I don’t know about that. I had a few that were not — the one thing you have to remember is [I was] just starting out, too. So you just get everything you could. I had yeah, some that weren’t great obviously. But you have — I think of Terry Taylor and the Red Rooster, and Fred Ottman and the whole Shockmaster thing. So I had my fair share, but I don’t know if I had the the most or the worst.”

On his reaction to Yankem: “Literally, when they told me the Isaac Yankem deal, I was like, ‘Really, that — really? I’m 6’8″ and 300 pounds, and you’re gonna make me a wrestling dentist?’ So yes. And then you’ll see Undertaker and just all these other cool characters. And I was like, ‘Yeah man, this is — there has to be something more for this.’ So unfortunately, almost immediately I was like, ‘Yeah, this is just not gonna work for me.’”
