He stated, “Kane, you think you impress the Rock when your music hits, all the lights go out, you got fire coming out of the post, fire shooting out of your a**, you got fire comin’ outta everywhere. And then all of a sudden you’re doin’ jumpin’ jacks, you’re happy because Kane can talk, the big red retard can finally speak.” He mimicked Kane by saying, “My name is Kane and I am a roody-poo-candy-a**.”
