Since his WWE debut at Bad Blood in 1997, Kane has been on an unprecedented path of destruction. However, his loss to Umaga at RAW Family Reunion means that Kane will no longer be a RAW Superstar. Regardless of what happens now to the Big Red Monster, take a look back at some of Kane's most destructive moments in WWE.

The Big Red Monster was certainly in his element when he took on Stone Cold Steve Austin in a First Blood Match for the WWE Championship at the King of the Ring in 1998. Stone Cold may be the toughest SOB in WWE, but Kane's path of destruction rolled right on past Stone Cold, earning him the WWE Championship
When it's every man for himself, Kane feels right at home. So it's no wonder that the Big Red Monster steamrolled over some of the top names in WWE at the 2001 Royal Rumble. Among his victims were Tazz, WWE legend Honky Tonk Man and none other than The Rock. In fact, Kane set a Royal Rumble record with 11 eliminations.
Kane went one on one with Triple H in a Chain Match for the Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day. Kane can do enough damage with his bare hands, but when armed with a steel chain, the carange becomes devastating. This match proved to be no different as he brutalized The Game in this Judgment Day classic.
Shane McMahon gave it his all against Kane in a Last Man Standing Match at Unforgiven, but it wasn't enough. In fact, he was laid up in the hospital with injuries from the match. He was ready to deliver a special message from Kane, when the Big Red Monster stormed into his hospital room. Kane delivered his own special medicine to Shane, leaving him a bloody mess.
Kane and Undertaker have had one of the most tumultuous relationships in WWE history. These brothers have been the best of friends and the worst of enemies. On the Aug. 14, 2000 edition of RAW, they certainly were not friendly. It was on that day that Kane hoisted his brother up in the air and sent him crashing through the ring in one of the biggest chokeslams ever.
In May, Lita betrayed Kane and declared her allegiance to her new boyfriend, Edge. For months, Kane sought his revenge. The brutal rivalry was more than personal, and it eventually came down to a Stretcher Match on RAW. Thanks to Lita, Edge got the victory. But aftewards, with help from Matt Hardy, Kane got the ultimate revenge, delivering a viscous Tombstone on the stage, sending Lita to the hospital.
At the Rumble, Undertaker took on Shawn Michaels in a Casket Match. Taker was in control before HBK's associates, the New Age Outlaws, hit the ring and proceeded to beat down the Phenom. Then, Kane came out and cleared the ring. It appeared as though the brothers would embrace, but Kane brutally attacked Taker and chokeslammed him into the casket. Then, shockingly, Kane set the casket on fire, presumably burning Undertaker to a crisp.
A few weeks earlier, an altercation with Snitsky caused Lita to lose her unborn child. During RAW, Kane saw an interview that Snitsky did with J.R. where he denied all responsbility. Kane got so mad that he interrupted a tag team match and attacked an innoncent Val Venis repeatedly with a steel chair.The result was a brutal injury and a trip to the hospital for Val.
At Survivor Series, Kane and Shane McMahon met in one of the most unusual matches in WWE history - an Ambulance Match. Shane McMahon took the fight all over the arena, but eventually Kane took control once and for all. A Tombstone to the floor was all Kane would need as he locked Shane in the Ambulance and won the match.
At WrestleMania X-Seven, Kane took hardcore to a whole new level. The Big Red Monster took on Big Show and Raven for the WWE Hardcore Championship. During the match, the competitors brawled all over the Astrodome. At one point, Kane threw Raven through a plate glass window. Later, Kane would hit an elbow drop off the stage to win the Hardcore Championship.
Shortly after losing his mask on RAW, Kane sat down with Jim Ross for an interview regarding his mysterious past. Kane warned J.R. repeatedly not to make fun of him, or else J.R. would have to "feel his pain". The interview was going fine until Kane disagreed with J.R.'s recommendation to seek help. Kane rose to his feet, knocked out a helpless J.R., doused him with gasoline and set the legendary announcer on fire.
WWE has hosted it's fair share of weddings over the years, but perhaps none have been as bizarre as the union between Kane and Lita. Lita wouldn't wear the white dress that Kane had picked out for her, then Matt Hardy attempted to save Lita from distress. The outcome was a forcefield of flames, and a vicious chokeslam off the stage that left Hardy incapacitated for months. The marriage proceeded and Kane wed his unwilling bride.
Months earlier, Snitsky had been responsible for the loss of Kane and Lita's unborn child. Then, at Taboo Tuesday, Snitsky brutally injured Kane's neck and throat, leaving him out of action for an extended period of time. On RAW, Kane sought revenge. The resulting scene was that of a car crash, as an attempted chokeslam saw both men go flying off the stage, crashing to the arena floor.
The hatred between Kane and Shane McMahon had been building for months leading up to their Last Man Standing Match at Unforgiven. Shane wanted the win so badly that he was willing to sacrifice his body as he leapt more than 20 feet from the top of the Unforgiven set towards the Big Red Monster. Unfortunately for Shane, Kane was ready and moved out of the way, allowing Shane to slam to the floor and go down for the 10 count.
Just two days before Survivor Series, the participants in the 5-on-5 interpromotional match took one final opportunity to soften the others up on SmackDown. The RAW Tag Team Champions, Kane & Big Show, invaded SmackDown and brutalized the World Heavyweight Champion Batista with a double chokeslam through the announce table.
Following months of speculation, Kane made his debut in a destructive fashion at Bad Blood 1997. He interrupted the Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and HBK by ripping the door off the cage. The long lost brothers had an intense staredown, which Kane ended by kicking Undertaker in the stomach and delivering a Tombstone. Shawn Michaels rolled over and pinned Undertaker for the victory.

A week after Kane lost his mask, Eric Bischoff ordered Kane to face the RAW crowd without his mask. Kane told Bischoff that he wasn't ready to face the world yet. Bischoff told Kane that he either faces the crowd, or he's fired. Later in the night, Kane came out to confront RVD, but instead grabbed Eric Bischoff and chokeslammed him off the stage to the arena floor.
