The legacy of the Undertaker and Kane goes back a long way. Once upon a time there was a happy family - a mother, a father, and two young boys. The parents ran a funeral parlor, which employed a young man named Paul Bearer. The family led a happy life, until one fateful day changed their lives.

The older of the two brother returned home one day to find his house in flames. A horrific fire had torn through his home, taking the lives of his parents and his brother.

After seeing his entire family taken from him, the young man sought solace in death. He reveled in it. He aligned himself with Paul and became the very embodiment of death. That man would make his World Wrestling Federation debut in 1990, known as the Undertaker.

With Paul Bearer at his side, the Undertaker blazed a trail of success in the Federation unlike anything ever seen before - until one fateful night at SummerSlam 1996. On that night, Paul Bearer turned his back on the Undertaker, saying that he had lost his edge, that he "wasn't the Phenom anymore."

The two men stayed apart until the Undertaker won the Federation Championship at WrestleMania 13 in 1997. After that, Bearer tried to jump on the Taker's bandwagon, but the Taker refused to let him back. So Paul Bearer blackmailed the Undertaker, saying that he had dirt on him that would ruin him.

It worked, for a few months. But the Undertaker could only cope with being a kept man for so long. Soon the Undertaker shunned Bearer. It was then that we learned the Phenom's grave secret - his brother, Kane, was still alive!

According to Bearer, Kane had been hideously burned in the fire, but survived. For years, Paul Bearer had nursed him back to health. In that time, Kane had watched his brother become a dominant force in the World Wrestling Federation. Kane had dreamed of one day becoming a Federation Superstar just like his brother - and then destroying him! You see, Kane held the Undertaker responsible for the fire, the death of his parents and his disfigurement.

Although the Undertaker acknowledged the fire, he could not believe Bearer's claims that Kane was still alive. But that declaration would become a reality at the October 1997 Badd Blood Pay-Per-View. As the Undertaker prepared to finish off Shawn Michaels in the first Hell in a Cell match, a mysterious red light filled the arena, and Kane made his way to the ring! Understandably, the Undertaker looked like he had seen a ghost! Before the Undertaker could say a word, Kane attacked his brother, and then Tombstoned him!

For months, Kane took every opportunity to disrupt Federation programming, assaulting practically the entire roster, and vowing to keep it up until the Undertaker agreed to fight him. His message was a simple one - he wanted revenge. But the Undertaker flat-out refused, and the siblings seemed to have a symbolic unification in early 1998 - until one Casket Match would change everything. At the 1998 Royal Rumble, Undertaker challenged Shawn Michaels for the Federation Championship. During the match, Kane came out, ostensibly to help his brother, but he instead attacked the Undertaker, and helped Michaels seal him in the casket for the win. But the worst was yet to come. After the match, Kane poured gasoline over the casket and lit it on fire!

Strangely, when Federation officials finally put out the fire and opened the casket, the Undertaker was no where to be found. It wasn't until a month later that the Undertaker mad his mysterious re-appearance, agreeing to fight his brother one-on-one for the first time! Indeed, at WrestleMania XIV in 1998, the Undertaker pinned his younger brother, even though it took three Tombstones to do it! The next month at Unforgiven, the brothers again battled - this time in an Inferno Match! The Undertaker again vanquished his younger brother when he set him on fire!

The brothers would again butt heads on the June 1, 1998 episode of RAW, in a match which would determine the No. 1 contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Kane won the match and headed to King of the Ring to face Stone Cold Steve Austin in a First Blood Match for the title. Kane vowed that if he didn't win the title, he would set himself on fire and breathe his last breath! Despite the tension between them, Undertaker vowed he wouldn't let that happen, and at King of the Ring, it was the Undertaker's chair shot to Stone Cold that would help his brother become Federation Champion - even though Kane lost the title back to the Rattlesnake the next day!

They say that blood is thicker than water, but Mr. McMahon would soon prove that money is thicker than blood, as the Federation chairman emptied his pockets to the brothers to get the title away from Austin. The two brothers were now on the same page, and at the Breakdown Pay-Per-View in September 1998, the two brothers took the championship from Stone Cold in a Triple Threat Match. But with no clear champion decided (both men pinned Austin for the title at the same time), a match was made between the two brothers at Judgment Day the next month to determine the clear champion. When no winner was announced there, the brothers faced off in the second round of the Deadly Game Tournament at Survivor Series 1998. The Undertaker picked up the win after Paul Bearer turned his back on Kane and rejoined the Phenom! From there, the Undertaker and Kane would drift apart a bit. The Undertaker was in the midst of forming the Ministry of Darkness, while Kane was more concerned with defending his and X-Pac's Tag Team Championship. At SummerSlam 1999, the Undertaker and the Big Show took the Tag Titles from Kane and X-Pac.

The Undertaker walked out of the Federation in September 1999 and didn’t return until May 2000. Upon his return, he and Kane seemed to be tight. The reunion seemed complete. But then Kane again turned on his brother. Saying that he was a "monster," Kane tried to send his brother straight back to hell. At SummerSlam 2000, the men battled, but it was the Undertaker who got the last laugh, as the American Bad Ass unmasked his brother, revealing his gruesome face to the world.

For months after SummerSlam, the men's paths crossed. Finally, just before the 2001 Royal Rumble, the two seemed to be on the same page once again! To the shock of Federation fans, it seemed as if the two men had joined forces to create an unstoppable unit for the Royal Rumble!

The question remained -- could they co-exist? That question was answered at the Rumble with a resounding "yes." The Brothers Grim were indeed on the same page, which spelled doom for numerous superstars in the Rumble match.

Kane and the Undertaker are back together. That's good news for their family -- and bad news for every other competitor in the World Wrestling Federation!

The Two brothers have been kickin' ass ever since the Royal Rumble, they developed a feud with Rikishi & Haku which supposedly ended at Smackdown! Extreme with a First Blood match where the two brothers from hell came out on top busting the two Samoan Islanders up. It didn't stop there, at WWF No Way Out, in a Triple Threat Tag team title match which consisted of Edge & Christian, The Dudley Boyz and The Undertaker & Kane. Just as The Undertaker & Kane were about to win, Haku & Rikishi interfered and cost them the Tag Titles. After that, a few fights happened between these two teams but Undertaker & Kane came out on top after a 6-man Tag Team match which was The Brothers of Destruction and D''Von Dudley against Christian, Rikishi & Haku. The match-up was mainly Undertaker, Kane and D'Von dominated and they won the match with the Last Ride. The highlight of the match was Kane assisting D'Von with the "Wasssup?!" Head butt!

After that, The Undertaker & Kane were mainly in singles matches but watching each others backs as usual. Undertaker got into a feud with Triple H before Wrestlemania 17 while Kane was having problems with The Big Show. Undertaker had a hell of a match against Triple H at Wrestlemania but he ended out on top, as he said to Triple H prior to the match, "This is MY yard." The Undertaker sure proved it.

Kane was in a Triple Threat Match at Wrestlemania for the Hardcore title against The Big Show and Raven (Hardcore Champion). Kane came out on top and won the title.

As y'all know, That night at Wrestlemania, Austin beat The Rock for the WWF title by aligning himself with Vince McMahon! These two then got Triple H to join them and they became an unstoppable force in the WWF, they had the chairman with them and they were two of the WWF's toughest superstars. Also, The Commissioner William Regal was in their back pocket.

Now, Kane was Hardcore Champion and Undertaker seemed indestructible as he proved he was better than The Game. Kane had a lot of successful title defenses.

Triple H & Austin were basically doing what they want, when they want now. They even physically assaulted Lita brutally on RAW is WAR during an inter-gender Tag match up with Stephanie, Triple H and Austin against Team Extreme. The same thing was about to happen on the following RAW is WAR but I think the Brothers of Destruction had seen enough.

The Undertaker & Kane came out to the ring making the save for Lita. It looked as if they were about to get it on with Austin & Triple H but that would have to wait another day as Triple H and Austin ran off.
