Kane vs Leviathan (Dave Batista) OVW

[mahoodahmed86]

batista was 6"7 335 pounds then :O

[hollowman024]

cornette's commentary is the best part of the match

[demetea1]

listern up youtube people, this is no lie i use to say down the street from him he has a huge house a fine wife. i ask him how much he can pickup? he said his total is 700 max, 400 he can put on his back!!!!

[Mrbaltimore2001]

Kane wearing his cheap mask for the OVW crowd tonight.

[paulred616]

OMG!!! this is on much better than owr 2012 wwe last ppv!!!!!

[paulred616]

02:14 IS A MONSTER WALKING!!!!!IS A REAL DEMON!!!

[1331adm]

This was 11 years ago.. how time has flown buy!!

[zodinko1]

Batista will never be as good as Kane never see the same level.

[silkaem]

OVW seemed like a pretty good promotion. Alot of big names here.

[silkaem]

Leviathan was a better gimmick than he has at WWE.

[zhaoyun618]

what year?

[GaDawgs15818]

Jim Cornette... STFU

[stufaman]

And yet in WWE Batata gets pushed to main event status, Kane props up the mid cards and gets no thanx for it.

[tampuriotis]

6:17 - 6:21 just awwwsome!

[MrWWEPPV2005]

It's late 2000.Period of Christmas, exactly.

[slipknot789able]

looks like that elbow pad was cutting off batista's circulation

[avsingh1200]

Batista talks about this match in his autobiography. Mainly about how bad he was at that time because he was afraid to work even some what stiff at the time. He talks about he Kaine was laughing during the entire match because he was having to sell his ass of for Dave's weak punches.

[Discmatic1]

That was A main event..

[Lov3ofdarkn3ss]

And what was Stone Cold doing on this?

[Lov3ofdarkn3ss]

What was Kane doing in OVW? -_-

[Sneezlebob]

@Lov3ofdarkn3ss Cornette said they were trying to build Batista up as a main eventer even in OVW

[cableguyxx9898xx]

@Lov3ofdarkn3ss This was when OVW was the official developmental territory for the WWE, so Jim Cornette would book WWE wrestlers to appear on the big shows (and sometimes the TV shows) to appear and work against the top talent he had in the company at the time as a special attraction and to get them ready for the big time.

[flaperise]

It's weird how it's filmed and where it is, i never got to see this but i wasn't sure if it was aired to the UK back in 2000?

[seanyk221]

what year was this

[kart0100]

@seanyk221..2000

[tommyj666the2nd]

Batista sold that stunner wonderfully.

[jason60152]

Kane has the best uppercut in wrestling history.

[gmf20002]

I remember when Batista john cena and Randy orton were all wrestling here in the ovw in Louisville at the same time I used to watch every Saturday night on TV!

[187BG]

man I wish Jerry the king's faggot ass could get replaced by Jim Cornette to do permanent commentary for the WWE

[moltenriches]

I didn't know they had the already established wrestlers wrestle in OVW

[Christoerode]

I dont know why masked Kane didnt maintain his good name after unmasked...

surely masked kane > batista

[AronHallan]

Kane's arms are fuuuuuuckin huge, he wasnt the same after the injury

[Frizz90]

HELL YEAH to Austin coming out at 9:10!!!

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

@delv213 World Titles mean nothing these days. So Mark Herny's current world title reign means nothing it only took him 15yrs to get it. Chrsitan's 2 World title reigns mean nothing either? Everything you said is bullshit. And Cena is not a 13 time world champion thank god. World titles do mean something its just they do give it to people who dont deserve it sometimes. If they didnt mean anything, they wouldnt be around.

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

@FireMarshallBilll that ECW title win doesnt mean anything to me. That belt was a joke. It wasnt even ECW it was WWECW.

[flickLowks310]

Wat a great match old schhool ovw

[FJC509]

Man batista sucked soo bad here..

[porcosdep]

loool batista 6´7 335 pounder looooooooool.. batista in a really good day is 6´3 240 pounds 

[wupassable]

@porcosdep 240 at 6´4? im 6´0 and im 247 (and im not fat) with a man of batistas size he is probably 6´3 at 290

[xxxmastaicexxx]

when was this

[Whyisthisthat]

Sinn was more over than Batista here

[puffykilled2pac]

OVW was so fucking awesome

[metalhead7127]

man ... Kane's entrance was simply...speackless

[vullrath]

masked kane is different from unmasked kane. look at the body type and skull. it cant be the same person. unmasked kane is fat and undefined.

[rapcoremanx]

@vullrath and unmasked kane is taller

[asmukkar]

@vullrath This was 10 years ago! Glen Jacobs has always been Kane

[Fifa155]

@vullrath

age age..

[skemjames]

@vullrath as you get older its harder to gain muscle therefore alot of your muscle becomes fat and the skull? he had a mask on

[XhoowieX]

@vullrath Fake Diesel, Isaac Yankem, Masked Kane and Unmasked Kane = Glen Jacobs, it's a fact.

[CHADE47lol]

@vullrath this was 9 years ago kane was still young and muscular

[EnigmaDrath]

@vullrath

Honestly, the WWF isn't the FBI: they can't keep top secrets. If masked Kane had been someone else, do you seriously think the WWF would have been able to claim otherwise for this long? So many former employees have parted with the company on bad terms, with lots of criticism: wouldn't one of them have brought this up were it true?

This was Glen Jacobs almost a decade ago, before his shoulder injury. He can no longer work out as much as before, and is older.

[ExperimentalJackass4]

are people still thinking Kane was portrayed by different people? damn ....

[ballinupcrazy]

wow whatta great stunner 9:22 sell by batista lol

[goodeats4life21]

When was this match

[BrottenGuy]

Batista should have kept his Leviathan gimmick

[ReaperEmpireProphecy]

batista use to look like a scott steiner ripoff.

[KerorK]

@SirValentsky it was

[Trackstar601]

When was this? Around what year? Then i heard somebody say something about the Hardyz and Lita

[Kfowlkes09]

@Trackstar601

Judging by Kane's costume, 2001 or 2002

[CHADE47lol]

@Trackstar601 2002

[southwardwill]

batista is terrible here

[Egopaintball12]

What's ovw?? And are these the same wrestlers used in the wwf??

[AndyMSeven]

@Egopaintball12 ovw is the lower version of wwf but its owned by wwf. they use it to train the upcomers till theyre talented enough to go to wwf

[goldizzy]

@Egopaintball12 ovw is ohio valley wrestling located in louisville, ky! ovw use to be the training grounds for future wwe wrestlers. now, the wwe uses fcw for that.

[HawaiiAngeyStoner1]

back then wwf was a bad company... sure the wwe is way better at handling businesses better than the wwf.... but got to admit thou... the WWF was way fukking BADASS than this pg piece of shit WWE...

[TNAECW1]

this sounds like the WWF/E

[Om4rDo]

Mason ryan is a puppy compared with this Batista jaja

[phillyasnballer]

Is that Jim Cornette commentating?

[nightowl685]

@phillyasnballer it is indeed :)

[TNAECW1]

@phillyasnballer I was going to say the same thing

[IGrapeDrinkI]

Mask Kane > unmask Kane

[dandanaka1989]

How can stone cold, kane and batista all here ?? i never watch Ovw !

[KinGofCoDeine]

Does that commentator ever shut up? Anyways I never heard of 'ovw' EVER!! and I've been a wrestling fan for the past 13 years. Well this was by far the better version of Kane too bad they killed him off into some creepy insane bald lunatic lame-o :(

[JofusSunshyne]

@KinGofCoDeine ; You have never heard of OVW despite being a wrestling fan for the past 13 years is somewhat acceptable.. BUT NOT RECOGNISING JIM CORNETTE IS NOT. Learn abould wrestling :)

[THEADRUMO]

What year?



[rollinpace4lyf]

both these guys were beast here.. but it's stupid they billed batista weighing more than kane..

[htkiller4life]

man with sort hair back then batista look like some satanic but when he was with evolution with long hair he look like a mafia

[cthulhusmop]

@MrKnightjet : OVW was once part of the WWE Talent development program (not sure if it still is) - it was one of the leagues that WWE would recruit from (Like Batista and Orton). Occasionally, WWE wrestlers would show up for 'exhibition' matches with current OVW up and comers, like this show, as a cross promotional thing.

[gaarasuri]

this match is better than the live crap matches they have now lol. no excitement these days. just boring one on one predictable bull.

[Christoerode]

old kane (masked kane ) is much stronger than batista. It seems incredible when kane's single hand chockslam on muscular monster LEVIATHAN. Both were amazing. wonderful match with equal contribution of two monsters.

[jfrankart]

this was more entertaining then current Raw!!!!

[1SirCarlton]

mason ryan? (joke)

[xXgiigXx]

cornette > cole

[SgtLampshade]

That was Kane's coolest attire.

[Kaneniteforever]

his head diff mainly ****

[Kaneniteforever]

that dont even look like batista, u can see him abit, his head mainly, roid fucked cunt, fuckin kane was an absolute giant, i rekon he was on steroids aswell

[gaarasuri]

@Kaneniteforever actually back then, kane was voted best body in the locker room because he was one of the only ones who wasn't on steriods and got himself to look like that. he owned his own gym too . don't know if he still owns it though.

[CwHart]

Back when Batista was green and he was even worse then he is now >.>

[OfficialBenji]

what he fuck is ovw

[ExtremeEnigma28]

What's kane doing in OVW at that time?

[Sweetchinfrogsplash]

@ExtremeEnigma28 OVW was WWe's training ground and Jim Cornette who ran it at the time occaisonally got WWE wrestlers to wrestle OVW wrestlers to see how they do agaisnt the good guys and sometimes to boost their popularity by defeating the WWE guys.

[Hafiz9696]

is they real superstars

[ash64518]

OK! look everybody! kanes hair is real right her. his hair has always been real excpet for the time when he unmasked! :( but his hair looks black and stright here is because its wet! i promise you his hair is real its just wet thats all!! and at 6:15 you can here can say " do the spine buster" lol

[AngelisWinning]

damn kane is scary

[newerification]

I am soo baffled can someone please explain to me why Kane and Stone Cold was there? :s

[thetreblerebel]

@newerification because OVW was owned by the WWE as a charecter development promotion for future superstars, they all have been through the OVW

[newerification]

@thetreblerebel But why was Kane and Stone Cold there? As they were far more developed by then

[heavenhelp1982]

@newerification OVW was not just about development, it was also about rehabilitation from injury...lots of the top guys would spend a month or so there, before coming back on WWE tv shows

[thetreblerebel]

@newerification well maybe because it was a crossover show, and the WWE brought big talent to make money for the OVW..I mean you would buy a ticket to that wouldnt you?

[TheEndKing]

@newerification: Well, they are bigger stars, and more developed, so they could be there as sort of trainers, and c'mon, a cameo appearance is always going to get the fans pumped, right?

[DjSpartacus]

I like how in this match Batista is the 'demon of the beast, guardian of the gates of hell'.

[xXz0ZnKoVXx]

AnuthaGrandGoon@ i agree but its kane fault he sholudint unmask in the first place, wow imagine kane have his mask now that would be epic!

[pidosilencio]

Kratos vs Kane

[xXz0ZnKoVXx]

kane want to unmask not the wwe !! .. he want the people to forget his face b cuz he was isaac yankem back in 1995 so he took a little while with the mask so the people forget his old gimmick!

[AnuthaGrandGoon]

@xXz0ZnKoVXx thats not it at all mr mcmahon simply wanted a dominating gimmick that could last for a long time

[Christoerode]

this is one of the best match in kanes carrear...... however kane > batista!!!!!!!!

[Geometricequations]

@Christoerode batista> kane.

[loool070]

@Geometricequations ahahahaha

[genius10391]

man 335 lbs. batista was really hitting the roids here.

[TheMrbo1981]

thats why batista got fired he sucks at wrestling go (KANE)

[AnuthaGrandGoon]

@TheMrbo1981 he asked for his release because he didnt like the direction the wwe is heading

[SharinganBoy9899]

wow kane looks like abyss in this time i never seen masked kane this muscular before

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

@theceng You stupid jackass Kane aint no jobber. The son of a bitch won the World Heavyweight title last year and had it for 5almost 6months longer then he did when he wore the mask.

[Neoron94]

@PUNISHERWarzone87 but with the mask he is cooler^^

[FireMarshallBilll]

@PUNISHERWarzone87 And to add to that, he's one of the only two wrestlers to hold all Three major WWE titles(WWE, WH and ECW)

[Sastonlee]

@PUNISHERWarzone87 Bro, no one ever said he was a jobber. Chill the fuck out. OVW used to be the WWE's training grounds. They sent superstars there to test their young talent.

[delv213]

@PUNISHERWarzone87 The World title's mean nothing now a days, Pretty sure Cena's become a 13 time world champion in 7 years while it took flair almost 3 decades to win it 16 times. Also, what did the title run do for him? He ended up losing to Edge and went right back to a babyface 2 months later with no explanation, he's always been a jobber to the stars, he just has fans who will cheer him even if he loses each and every week.

[zapple100]

Stone Cold's kick missed Batista by a mile.

[dannyp206]

Batista sucked at selling Kane's moves. He barely flinched when Kane kepts hitting him with right hands.

[mavalasko]

@dannyp206 Agreed, he's sluggishly "walking" through the match. Proof of how little he cared for the craft and trying to put on a Great match.

[waynedrake]

PS: holy shit Stone Cold outta nowhere!!

[waynedrake]

BAtista can't sell worth a F*CK

[evoked87]

this is what WWE is supposed to be.



[WeirdCandy98]

why is kanes theme high pitched?

[1331adm]

@WeirdCandy98 alomst like the theme he has now

[Prologue2113]

the worst part is that this kane is the same guy we see today...

[kaneitis]

many looser in this video

[carol9909]

Let's all go to wwe.com, go all the way down the page, click on Contact Us, then Contact Superstar, and send Kane letters asking him to suggest to Mr.Mcmahon to bring the mask and for him to get back to his 1997 body shape, and become undefeated again.

[TheEpicBurp]

so this was after kane was in WWE? that's cool he went to OVW to kick batista's ass

[KingCordster]

Old Kane was a stud, new Kane is a pussy!!!!

[Bamawhodi]

@omarigadlinsr ovw and fcw are training grounds for wwe and both are own by the wwe

[omarigadlinsr]

This is crazy seeing Austin, the Hardy's and Kane in OVW O_O

[wells213]

when have wwe and ovw crossed brand... this is crazy

[hititdj]

i think here is the only time were austin stunned batista

[xtremematchlover]

What year is this?

[reignfire77]

im not sure what it is, but watching some of these smaller venues is more entertaing than the 20,000 plus size arenas

[mrjoey94]

@reignfire77 I find that as well. I've been to 3 WWE events: Unforgiven 2006 (? or 2007 i forget.) in Toronto Canada and 2 House Shows in local arenas and i found the 2 house shows to be more entertaining. It's easier on the wallet to get front row at House shows.

[TheArtofUTube]

@reignfire77 usually they are the best cause you have the smart marks at these venues. The televised shows has a bunch of people who don't watch wrestling and just show up at these shows wanting to get on tv.

[Clintbdee]

@reignfire77 Almost like minor league baseball..watching some of these guys fighting for a dream.

[Dclovescl]

@reignfire77 i got to watch OVW live at my hometown and met Punk, Kelly Kelly, shad, Aaron the idol stevens.. if u even remember him. and a couple others it was awesome. plus they are actually really good people. and do a hell of a job to entertain you

[MyThunderfist]

@Dclovescl where is ovw

[shaunthevirus]

@reignfire77 better crowds

[batdamnm]

@reignfire77 Also gotta love hearing Jim Cornette on commentary :P

[BROO666]

batista started wrestling way too late in his life,he didnt wrestle long when he left wwe he was like 42 or something like that,Edge is like 42

[Magmus456]

Why so dark? Hard to see anything.

[BROO666]

@Magmus456 cuz they in HELL :]

[Magmus456]

Why so dark?

[kazz25arkeio]

I think it was on Batista's book when he said that He smelled bad here... and Kane was laughing behind his mask. while the match was going on. LOL

[gabetheman2010]

also when you look in 2003 you know right away his real hair was blonde that he had even when he was issac yankem. it was very curly the hair on the mask is obviously black and straight hair not curly i doubt he straightened his hair look at when he was the fake diesel when he took off the mask look how bald he is in the front his hair receeded thats why he cut it because he was balding obviously. same with kurt angle and big show even benoit was balding.

[xXxoopsxXx]

@gabetheman2010 it looks black and straight because they all wet their hair before a match, and then it stays wet with sweat xD

[gabetheman2010]

im pretty sure Kane wore a masked attached wig through out his carrer. Remember when he was issac yankem he had very curly afro like hair theres no way his hair would be straight like that and his hair was always curly and short and he already had a receeding hairline. When he demasked that was only ac ouple years after this video and that obviously was not his real hair and im almost 27 years old i know what im talking about that hair in the mask does not match his real hair obviously.

[PrlJmXX]

@gabetheman2010

you are retarded. it was his hair, when it gets longer it doesnt just turn into a fro. they only gave him the wig for when he took it off so they made you think he always wore a wig.

[PrlJmXX]

@gabetheman2010

you are retarded. it was his hair, when it gets longer it doesnt just turn into a fro. they only gave him the wig for when he took it off so they made you think he always wore a wig.

besides that he's had his make taken off before and his hair was still there. summerslam 2000 kane vs taker. so obviously you dont know what you're talking about.

[RKOrton1984]

@unicron500

dont get it! Why the hell should kane walk arround with fake hair?

At his demasking vs HHH he had a wig and (crappy) smoke/dirt in face and thats what im talking about. But here on this video is Kanes real hair!

lol, first read, think, than write! Whos the mark? lol i bet u also cheared for Cena sunday?

[unicron500]

@RKOrton1984

Ha! Nice name Randy "Mark" Orton!!! - the 1984 means you are a child.

[RKOrton1984]

@unicron500

hmmm, 27 = child?

than please explain me y kane should have fake hair here? Explain it to me like an adult. And than pls explain what a wig or not has to do with beeing a mark or not? Im a Rocky Mark, no doubt and im proud of it but with 27 i think im more a smark. I had my mark times (like everybody does) when i was 10-15 but thats looong time ago. All i see in this video here is Kane (with real, dry hair) against Batista in a good match.

[unicron500]

@RKOrton1984

i can't find your original comment or my reply... what was that like a year ago? not gonna search for it but if you wanna copy and past we can continue this discussion.

[RKOrton1984]

@unicron500

sure. cant find it either :D

Just cleaning my inbox and than i saw ur comment.

[TheMysticWolfAura]

Am I the only one who thought the way Leviathan got in the ring at 5:44 was kinda cool?

[stufaman]

I wish WWE was more like OVW. 

[kunalsnh344]

Vidya Balan fhm

[kunalsnh344]

Kane vs Leviathan

kane was loking great and some thing was cuting in this match

[NIRVANAenvivoforo]

THANK! Upload more videos!

[edwardjordan14]

wen was ovw around?

[Optimus313]

This Kane was a monster but I think the wwe should make him a monster again.But STONE COLD FTW!!!!!!

[disappearingact1]

what year was this?



[Ressoro]

People, after all this is not a batista

[MrSwagger835]

kane was focus 2 take his mask off i think he lost a match or somebody pull it off or some. its a reason y

[lazrpo]

Leviathan was a fucking beast in the ring.

Batista is... slow :\

[DrumCoversFromHell]

that was the first time he wore that attire

notice the music hasent changed to the heavier 1 yet.

[Sanguiluna]

It fucking took the combined efforts of five established WWE superstars to hand Leviathan his first loss in OVW.

And this asshole has the audacity to say that they never did anything for him at OVW?!

[MsBatista85]

@RossByrne96 PROBABLY JUST WORKING OUT IN PREPARATION OF RETURNING TO THE RING ALL WRESTLERS WORK OUT IN A DEVELOPMENTAL TERRITORY TO KNOCK OFF RING RUST.

[DjKratos101]

Kane should've never taken his mask off..

Now he's just a bald, ugly, fatty..

He used to be a man that created nightmares for little kids everywhere

[isaacdarling933]

@mrhellohel he is billed at 7ft cause it sounds more impressive

+ that was probably the highest kane chokeslam ive seen!

[LilKeke325]

@isaacdarling933 the ones he did on x pac were higher

this match seems good example for the proverb "PRIDE BEFORE FALL" for the batista. That women said behalf of Batista (Leviathan) no one can beat leviathan even if it is Stone
