“Kane” Glenn Jacobs shared a comical incident involving walking into the wrong hotel room, inadvertently giving an elderly couple the scare of a lifetime.
In an interview for the book “Are We There Yet? Tales from the Never-Ending Travels of WWE Superstars” by Robert Cabrio, Kane vividly described the chaotic rush to leave the arena after a WWE show, explaining how he hastily donned his workout attire, complete with his ring makeup, in a bid to swiftly depart for the hotel.
I knew I wanted to beat the fans out of the arena so I wouldn’t sit in traffic for an hour; these few minutes were my only hope. I ran back to the locker room and didn’t shower or anything I just threw on my workout stuff from that afternoon—shorts, a tank top, sneakers. I didn’t even put on socks. As I’m sprinting to the car, I realised I still had my makeup on, too. I didn’t care the only thing on my mind was getting out of that arena parking lot and to the hotel immediately.
Unbeknownst to him, the makeup, combined with his dishevelled appearance, led to bewildered looks from onlookers upon his arrival at the hotel lobby. However, the situation took a humorous turn when he mistakenly entered the wrong hotel room, startling an elderly couple who reacted with understandable shock and confusion.
I checked in, walked up to the room, ripped open the door, threw my bag in, and then noticed an old couple sitting on the bed, I had no idea where they came from; they started screaming at me in some foreign language I couldn’t understand. I just… I mean … I had already put in a really long day, so I just sort of stared at them, cussing under my breath. Not at them. But at the situation. They’re screaming, just terrified. They both jumped up on the bed and were now like hugging each other as if they were saying goodbye or something.
The couple’s frightful reaction, exacerbated by the language barrier, left Kane reflecting on the absurdity of the situation, emphasising that his exasperation was directed not at the couple, but at the unexpected predicament. The hotel staff, realising the gravity of the misunderstanding, promptly extended apologies to the couple, offering them compensation for the distress caused.
Kane humorously recounted the incident, acknowledging the understandable alarm caused by his imposing presence combined with his unconventional appearance.
