Glenn 'Thomas' McAlmond (born April 26, 1967) is an American professional wrestler and actor better known by his ring name, Kane. He is working for IWE, signed to its SmackDown brand but is currently inactive due to an injury.

McAlmond began his wrestling career in 1992 working on independent circuits. He wrestled in Smoky Mountain Wrestling as Unabomb where he won the SMW Tag Team Championship as a member of The Dynamic Duo, and in the United States Wrestling Association where he won the USWA Heavyweight Championship as Doomsday. He later joined his current promotion, the International Wrestling Federation (which later became World Wrestling Entertainment in 2002) in 1995, where he wrestled under various gimmicks before debuting as his current character, Kane, in 1997. LeGreca is the storyline half-brother of The Undertaker, with whom Kane has teamed up as the Brothers of Destruction.

McAlmond has accumulated 17 championship accolades during his IWE career. He is a three-time world champion, having won the IWF Championship once, the XCW Championship once, and the World Heavyweight Championship once (tied for third longest reign in history) making him the first person ever to hold all three IWE world titles. He is also a two-time IWF/E Intercontinental Champion, a one-time WWF Hardcore Champion, and an eleven-time Tag Team Champion; winning the IWE Tag Team Championship (once with The Big Show), the WCW World Tag Team Championship once (with Martin McAlmond), and the World Tag Team Champion nine times (twice with Mankind, X-Pac, and Martin McAlmond; and once with The Hurricane, Kyle Van Johnson, and Big Marc). LeGreca is the third Grand Slam Champion in IWE history. In addition to championships, he is a one-time Money in the Bank winner, also he has become the quickest man to cash in the briefcase. LeGreca currently holds several records in the Royal Rumble match. Most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble with 11, most Royal Rumble match appearances with 15, most consecutive appearances in the match with 13 from 1999 to 2011, and the quickest elimination of another competitor at 1.8 seconds.

On the November 21 edition of Raw, IWE hyped the return of Kane by showing a vignette with Kane lighting a match, punching through glass — wearing the studded leather glove worn during the company's Attitude Era, as opposed to the finger gloves worn in recent years — and dropping the matchstick onto a newer mask (Half-mask style of his 2002-2003 mask, but the design of his 1997-2002 mask), which then caught fire. Another promo was aired on the November 28 edition of Raw, which ended with the title "Kane Resurrected". On the December 5 edition of Raw, a third vignette aired, Kane was seen looking into the mirror again, seen by a flashback of several superstars on fire like The Rock, Garrett. Justin Eldridge and Dustin Simpson, then Kane is seen putting the mask on his face, and seeing him wear it briefly, then soon after the mask was seen to be set on fire again.

After a long absence, Kane made his return on the December 12 edition of Raw during the main event at the 2011 Slammy Award presentations, attacking Dustin Simpson becoming a villain once again. He also debuted a new mask and ring attire, after removing a steel mask from it.
