Number 1: Issac Yankem, DDS to Kane

Early on, Glen Jacobs had a few gimmicks that did not give him longevity. The most notable gimmick he had was when he was in the WWE as Issac Yankem, DDS. He was Jerry Lawler's private dentist in Vignettes. He was being built as a big character, one that would be completely different. He would be completely misused, suffering multiple losses to Bret Hart. He would be a jobber for many years, until they finally struck gold. One of my favorite feuds of all time is Kane vs. The Undertaker. Kane debuted at Bad Blood: In Your House on October 5, 1997. He was billed as the brother of The Undertaker. His father, Paul Bearer, would lead him to the promise land. A simple black and red mask, long hair, and an intense look made him the most villainous character in WWE history. He is still working full-time in the WWE, something that is absolutely amazing to see. At an extended age, Kane had a mask, lost it, and ressurected his career by going back to his roots. He wrestles with the best of them, adapts to the times, and made himself famous after years of HORRIBLE gimmicks. Kane was a dentist, a freaking dentist, before becoming The Big Red Machine. That is amazing to think back on and now realize he is in the top 3 best big men in pro wrestling history.
