One user discovered their mother went to school with Kane, resulting in the world seeing quite the throwback photo.

Yearbook photos can always be a source of embarrassment for adults, especially when their kids discover those old high school photos and realize how dorky their parents may look by today's standards. But those old yearbooks can also be a chance for young people to learn something about the kids their parents went to school with – maybe Mom or Dad was classmates with someone who grew up to be famous. That's what happened when a Reddit user took to the platform to share a photo he took of his mother's high school yearbook, which shows the Devil's Favorite Demon himself, Kane, among the kids she attended school with way back in the day.

Earlier this week, Reddit member MojaveWalker posted a photo from his mother's high school yearbook, featuring the young Glenn Jacobs, as Kane is known in real life, aged about 14 or 15-years-old, wearing a pair of glasses and a shirt or sweater that wouldn't have looked out of fashion in the early '80s. Interestingly, his photo appears to be next to that of a boy named Peter Jennings, as one other Redditor pointed out, though he's almost certainly not related to the late ABC News anchor of the same name.

The picture wasn't dated, and the Redditor didn't specify where his mom attended high school, but it's safe to assume that she studied at a school in the St. Louis area, which is where Kane grew up. Kane remained close to home after high school, playing basketball and football at Truman State University, and was still St. Louis-based at the time he started his pro wrestling career in the early '90s.

Thanks to the photo going viral since it was posted, it's safe to say that WWE may want to include it in the future, should it update its "Superstars in High School" photo collection. That gallery included high school pictures of some of WWE's present-day Superstars, such as Alexa Bliss, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins, but also featured some blasts from the past, including some classic images of "Macho Man" Randy Savage that most likely date back to the late '60s.

Kane doesn't have any entries in the aforementioned WWE gallery, but who knows? Maybe one day you'll see the Big Red Machine looking like he did at least 35 years ago – a big kid with a studious appearance, and still no indication that he'd one day become one of the most recognizable names in professional wrestling.
