For those of you that follow/like the site on facebook, you’ll have noticed a few times I brought up the desire to give away my brand new, never been opened Kane DVD “The Twisted, Disturbed Life of Kane”. I already know the DVD, so having this other one is silly. With that said, I’m hoping to give it away to one of you lucky visitors.

What do you have to do to win it? Simple, you have to answer the ten questions found here about Kane, test your true knowledge on the man. Some will be easy, some will require work or thinking, that’s the fun of it. As of right now, the deadline is June 4th. That gives you an entire month to get your answers in.

Remember, if you already own this DVD, please don’t enter. I don’t want to be giving this away to a Kane fan that already owns his DVD.

Months after Kane’s attack left him wheelchair-bound, Zack Ryder will have an opportunity to confront his tormentor when he and The Big Red Monster meet head-on during the free WWE Over the Limit Pre-Show event Sunday. The Pre-Show, which will stream live on YouTube.com/WWE, Facebook and WWE.com, begins at 7:30 ET/4:30 PT.

Announced during the May 14 edition of Raw SuperShow, the match could serve as the final battle in the long-brewing war between Long Island Iced-Z and The Devil’s Favorite Demon.

The bad feelings have been festering since January, when Ryder unwittingly became swept up in Kane’s “embrace the hate” campaign aimed at Ryder pal John Cena. Seemingly a pawn in Kane’s larger strategy to goad Cena into a fight, Ryder for weeks found himself on the receiving end of surprise attacks and hellacious intimidation tactics.

With the WWE Universe watching on in horror during the first Raw of the year, The Big Red Monster initially tried to drag Ryder beneath the ring and into hell. Although Ryder narrowly escaped the fiery trap, thanks to a hand from Cena, WWE’s resident broski remained an object of manipulation in Kane’s vengeful endgame.

Kane’s onslaught did not let up at all in the ensuing weeks. On the Jan. 9 edition of Raw, the masked Superstar chokeslammed Ryder off of a loading dock and onto wood pallets many feet below. The injuries that Ryder sustained as a result of the fall left him vulnerable the following week and arguably caused him to lose the United States Championship to Jack Swagger on Jan. 16.

From there, Ryder’s fate went from bad to worse. Competing against Kane in a Falls Count Anywhere Match on Jan. 23, Ryder – still feeling the effects of the attack one fortnight earlier – appeared wholly overmatched. Once the action spilled up the ramp and to the stage, Kane again set out to chokeslam Long Island Iced-Z. Only this time, The Devil’s Favorite Demon sent Ryder through the steel stage floor, causing a herniated disc for Ryder and landing the fun-loving broski in a wheelchair for several weeks.

Even while he was on the sidelines, however, Ryder could not escape Kane’s wrath. On the Feb. 13 episode of Raw, Kane again attacked, pushing Ryder and his wheelchair off the Raw stage altogether.

By all appearances, Ryder has recovered from the physical injuries he suffered at Kane’s hands earlier this year. However, there is no mistaking that the mental and emotional anguish caused is still fresh in his mind. When Kane and Randy Orton’s Falls Count Anywhere Match at Extreme Rules took them backstage, Ryder could not resist peppering The Big Red Monster with punches and forearm smashes.

Kane’s unprovoked affront against Ryder seemingly halted the Internet Wrestling Champion’s meteoric rise. Although the spiked-hair Superstar is undoubtedly outmatched physically by the 7-foot destroyer, does Ryder now have the ruthless mentality necessary to vanquish the monster? With several months to reflect on all he lost due to Kane, is Long Island Iced-Z more motivated than ever? Or will Kane, looking to rebound from his Extreme Rules loss to Orton, intensify his in-ring attack even further?

The WWE Universe will get its answer Sunday during the WWE Over the Limit Pre-Show, which streams live on YouTube.com/WWE, Facebook and WWE.com at 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT Sunday.

It was a quiet week for Kane, who holds in the No. 9 spot. You always have to worry about the quiet ones.

WWE.com takes a look back at a 12 instances of past and present Superstars who either came up short or bounced back in a big way after getting hurt in WWE’s arms race.

Injury No. 5: Kane’s fiery forearm
When Kane resurrected his rivalry with The Undertaker after WrestleMania XIV, The Big Red Monster followed the advice of his father, Paul Bearer, to attempt to burn his half-brother in more than just effigy.

The two warriors agreed to a WrestleMania rematch at Unforgiven: In Your House in 1998 with a never-before-seen stipulation: an Inferno Match. The skyscraping Superstars met for an epic battle in a ring surrounded by fire, with victory decided only when one of the two combatants could literally set his opponent ablaze.

Kane almost escaped the ring unharmed after The Undertaker’s scorching strikes sent The Devil’s Favorite Demon over the flames and to the ringside floor. Moments after Vader arrived to keep Kane at ringside, The Deadman delivered a big boot to his half-brother that fed his adversary’s demonic arm to the fire for the victory.

It’s been a nightmare week for The Big Red Monster. Kane drops two spots after suffering a loss to Randy Orton at WWE Extreme Rules and then coming up on the wrong side of a tag team match on SmackDown.

Randy Orton & Big Show def. Kane & Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes
“Extreme” fallout hit SmackDown in a big way, as the competitors of two of last Sunday’s explosive showdowns joined forces.

Just when Big Show looked poised to hit the chokeslam on Cody Rhodes, Kane knocked him off his game with a fierce attack off the top rope. Moments later, The Big Red Monster was taken out by Randy Orton’s RKO. Rhodes recovered, though, hurling The Viper into the steel ring post. But, when he attempted the Disaster Kick on Show, the recovered giant stopped him with a powerful hit to the chest – setting up the WMD on the Intercontinental Champion for the victory.

On the heels of triumph, The World’s Largest Athlete looked fully prepared for his Intercontinental Title rematch, which the SmackDown announce team declared would take place during a WWE Live Event this weekend.

In Marvel’s “The Avengers,” Earth’s Mightiest Heroes set aside their differences and come together to battle a common enemy. Throughout WWE history there have been a number of similar circumstances where WWE, WCW, ECW and NWA Superstars joined forces to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. WWE Classics looks at 10 of the most memorable “Super Teams” that have assembled within the squared circle.

Team WWE (2001)

Following the acquisition of WCW and ECW in 2001, competitors from both brands banded together as The Alliance under the leadership of Shane and Stephanie McMahon to take over WWE. During WWE’s first battle with The Alliance at InVasion, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin betrayed WWE and joined the hostile force. After months of struggle, Survivor Series 2001 would decide the fates of WWE and The Alliance in a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match. To ensure the future of his organization, Mr. McMahon assembled a dream team comprised of five of the greatest Superstars of all-time. The Rock, Kane, The Undertaker, Big Show and Chris Jericho put their differences aside to join forces in an effort to save the WWE Universe. The defenders of WWE proved their might and claimed victory over the likes of Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Shane McMahon and “Stone Cold,” effectively ending The Alliance and solidifying WWE’s dominance in sports-entertainment.
