Yes, that's Kane as an evil dentist.
While the character of Kane debuted in 1997, two years earlier, a certain Glenn Thomas Jacobs started wrestling in the WWE (then the WWF) as evil dentist Isaac Yankem (geddit? Yank 'Em).
Best buds with Jerry "The King" Lawler, Isaac was a baddy who had a short feud with Brett Hart.
Results were... mixed to say the least.

Dr. Isaac Yankem is just one chapter in the illustrious career of the character who would become Kane. After first debuting as a mute giant, Kane would eventually begin to talk, before eventually unmasking in 2003.

After wrestling for a few years without a mask, Kane would eventually don a mask again in 2011 where he soon started a Tag Team with fan favourite Daniel Bryan.
In a nice twist, to reflect Glenn Thomas Jacobs' growing political career, there was also a nice period where Kane became "Corporate Kane", working as "Director of Operations" for WWE in 2013-2015.
Either way, we still love him. The Big Red Machine along with his brother Undertaker have been behind some of the finest and most memorable storylines in WWE history.
(Just try to forget about Katie Vick, eh?)
