no, Kane was not involved in that 'Taker vs 'Taker match. Kane,
aka Glenn Jacobs did appear as Issac Yakeem DDS, a dentist whose
most memorable feud was against Bret Hart. Later on, he appeared as
the fake Diesel when Kevin Nash(Diesel) and Scott Hall(Razor Ramon)
defected to WCW, and WWF wanted the fans to think that they were
still in the WWF. Finally, he appeared as Kane, his most successful
gimmick to date.
As for Matt Hardy, if u guys got follow wrestling forums other than
this one, u will have heard about the Matt-Amy(lita)-Adam(Edge)
real love life triangle. Matt Hardy was actually sacked from the
WWE for revealing in his website that Adam Copeland and Amy Dumas
had a affair, and that it was Adam's wife who called Matt to tell
him about it. Matt Hardy then used the internet to ask fans to chat
'You screw Matt' at Edge and Lita. WWE saw a money-spinning idea,
and decided to hire back Matt. And anyway, Matt Hardy is currently
dating the RAW Diva Search winner 2005, Ashley, in REAL Life.
Another theory is that Matt, Edge and Lita were in this togehter,
and that they had actually come out with this storyline in an
effort to make Matt and Edge more over with the fans. Which theory
is true, we don't know for sure
