WWE

WWE legend The Undertaker has opened up about teaming with Kane and why their run as a team didn't last very long.

The Brothers of Destruction was one of the most menacing tag teams in pro wrestling history, and The Undertaker, on his "Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway" podcast, discussed the origins of the team and why it ended.

"After a while it just becomes ... it's just natural. We had run for that part of our — we had battled each other, we had had our WrestleMania match, we had had the Inferno match," recalled "The Phenom." "We had pretty much gone through the one-on-one and moved on and then it just kind of become like a natural, like, 'Can you imagine these two together?' And we were in that, just, kind of in that situation where it happened and we got put together and it was just as good. I mean, that's the thing, it was awesome but it was too awesome."

The WWE legend believes what made the Brothers of Destruction great was the reason why they couldn't last a long time as a pairing.

"Who matches up to two guys, two giants, one throws lightning and the other one throws fire. I mean, like, how do you match anybody up against that? You don't. That was the thing that made it so cool and so ominous and dominant was also the reason why it didn't last any longer than it did because they just couldn't book anybody with us," said The Undertaker.

The duo were together between 2000 and 2001 and later reunited sporadically, with their last match coming at Crown Jewel 2018.

While further talking about teaming with Kane, AKA Glenn Jacobs, The Undertaker added that he had fun doing the vignettes and pre-tapes as the wrestling was easy due to how dominant the duo was in the ring.

"It was fun doing pre-tapes together and vignettes together. It was a lot of fun and it wasn't much work 'cause we just were so physically dominant over everybody that we pretty much had our way," stated the Hall of Famer.

"The Deadman" further complimented Jacobs' unselfish way in which he operated when the duo was together. He revealed that Jacobs was always willing to give him the hot tag and lead the team to victory as he believed that fans were there to see him get the win.

"Glenn, always, he always volunteered to sell and give me the hot tag. It wasn't even ... the only argument that we ever had was the times where I wanted him to get the hot tag and he was like, 'No, they pay us to see your hot tag and you get your hand raised.' I said, 'No, man, it's just a team deal.' He goes, 'I sell, you come make the comeback.' That was just kind of how unselfish he was," praised The Undertaker.

He argued that other wrestlers may not have had the same mindset as Kane, adding that Jacobs was grateful for the help that Undertaker had given him over the years.
