"There is no way to sort-of compartmentalize human liberty into "okay, I have social liberty and I have economic freedom." No, they're the same thing. You have -- If you don't have economic freedom, you don't have personal liberty, and vice versa, if you don't have personal liberty, you don't have economic freedom, either."
~ Glenn Jacobs (Kane)
There have been many great pro wrestlers in WWE like The Undertaker, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and many more, but Kane stands out even among such exalted company.
He was everyone's favorite wrestler while growing up. Though after his unmasking, WWE kind of neglected him so young fans do not know the glory of the masked Kane.
Kane was one of the "monster" wrestlers. Hugh - muscled like a bull, strong beyond any constraint of realism (he could easily lift the 500 lb Big Show), and scary with that mask under his shaggy unkempt hair. Kane was something to behold in his prime.
About Kane's Real Height
But what Kane was not is 7 feet tall as the WWE billed him to be. WWE has a long and irritating history of increasing their wrestlers' stats in the hope of making them bigger and even more intimidating.
While a couple centimeters' worth of increase is understandable and easy to pass off, but a couple inches' is not. Like what happened in Kurt Angle's case. A 5'10" wrestler was billed at 6'2" - but what is even more astonishing is that nobody even seemed to have noticed this.
So how tall is Kane really? Taller than The Undertaker that's for sure, everyone knows that Kane always seemed to have around 2 inches on his "elder brother". And How tall is The Undertaker in real life? Around 6'6" now, but at his peak, we believe that he was over 6'7" in his prime.
This puts Kane to around 6'8" - which is a good number to describe his height. And this is actually how tall Kane had claimed to be in a long-forgotten interview of his, so that settles it.
Though it looks like that time has touched even Kane. He looks a bit shorter now - possibly half an inch. Though he is still taller than someone like Braun Strowman who is around 6'7" in real life.
Throughout his long and illustrious career, Kane's weight has remained in the range of 323 lb (147 kg) to 326 lb (148 kg).
The real height of Kane is
6'7½" or 202 cm
Height in his prime was 6'8"
