The Big Red Machine’s first brush with Cupid came at the height of the Attitude Era, when he caught the eye of the vixen-like Diva Tori. Their unlikely romance gave The Devil’s Favorite Demon a chance to prove himself as an oddly valiant Superstar in defense of the woman he loved. After Tori spent Christmas weekend with X-Pac (as a result of a stipulation to a WWE Title Match Kane lost) she began to grow hysterical at the slightest bit of contact with other WWE Superstars. Kane would show his devotion and dispatch her would-be suitors at the slightest provocation. While The Big Red Monster continued to champion his girlfriend’s honor, tragedy struck when Kane’s cohorts in the McMahon-Helmsley Faction turned on him and tied him up in the ring ropes while Tori revealed the truth: that she and X-Pac had been carrying on an affair behind the demon’s back since that fateful weekend.

Kane would go on to get the last laugh at WrestleMania 2000, when he scored the deciding pinfall in a tag team match against X-Pac and Road Dogg, while his partner Rikishi administered the cherry on top by smothering Tori with a Stink Face (WATCH). Hell hath no fury indeed.

Kane has done a lot of things the WWE Universe surely wishes they could do. Among them was certainly this moment in 2002, seconds after winning the World Tag Team Championships with The Hurricane. Riding high off the throes of his victory, Kane paused the duo’s post-match interview with Terri Runnels and planted a big wet smooch on her lips before throwing his head back and screaming “YEEEAAAAHHH! NOW I’M READY TO GO CELEBRATE!” while The Hurricane stood stunned in response.

Truth be told, the celebration would come next week, when Terri returned the favor by passionately locking lips with The Big Red Monster after he interrupted her interview with Chris Jericho, then departing without another word. Kane’s reaction was typically stoic, as he shared a shrug with a nearby backstage reporter and said, “What can I say? Chicks dig the mask.”

Words for us all to live by.

Turns out, though, the Divas dig him just fine without the mask as well. In 2004, Kane began a bizarre relationship with Lita that took The Devil’s Favorite Demon all the way to the altar of holy matrimony when he defeated Matt Hardy in a “Till Death Do Us Part” Match for the right to marry Lita. In what J.R. dubbed “the wedding from hell,” Lita said her vows to The Big Red Monster, who dressed in a white tux while a string quartet provided classical music for the occasion. The relationship was rocky – Lita wasn’t exactly ecstatic over marrying Kane at first – though not without its tender moments. The two even reconciled for a time; Lita stood in Kane’s corner at Backlash 2005 when he faced Viscera, the bodyguard of Lita’s rival Trish Stratus, and it looked for a while like the crazy kids might just work it out. Alas, matrimony wasn’t strong enough to keep them together, as Kane lost Lita to the tattooed clutches of The Rated-R Superstar, Edge (WATCH).

What can we say? Chicks dig the hair.
