Kane:

"WWE was looking for an opponent for The Undertaker. They needed someone for an upcoming pay per view. I was supposed to be just one and done. Vince McMahon loved the idea so much and really got invested in it."

WWE vs Hogan:

Mark Henry says he is not yet ready to accept Hulk Hogan back in WWE, and is not the only member of the roster that is less than enthused by his planned appearance at a WWE event on Thursday.

"On the 29th is the opening (Of Andre's film) in Los Angeles and Hogan is in it. It's kind of a deal where you have to accept it. He's a public figure. It doesn't mean that everything he's done is forgiven, you just gotta pick the good from the bad, see how you can help the situation. I sit on the chair of the delegation and they're not ready. I've had many talks, I mean with dozens of guys. The consensus is there's a lot of work to be done to heal that wound and fix that wall.  It's gonna have to be more community service and outside work. Support for programs, even create a program that deals with diversity in the workplace.

He went on to say he would be shocked to see the Hulkster at Mania, which may spoil the HOF hopes of fellow inductee Hillbilly Jim, who wants his friend to enshrine him.

The delegation Mark refers to is a group of  African-American wrestlers who meet to discuss matters relating to wrestling and their ethnic group in an unofficial union.
