Important Update On Kane’s Political Career In Tennessee

He might have a future in this. Wrestlers often have a hard time finding a way out of the industry, as it is all they have done for so long. It can be sad to see someone hanging on for far longer than they should, but that is not always the case. Sometimes you see someone find a career that suits them very well, and that is the case again with a wrestling legend who will be continuing in an important role.

Earlier this week, Glenn Jacobs, better known as Kane, won the Republican primary in the race for Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, a position he currently holds. Jacobs ran unopposed and will move on to the general election in August. While holding office since 2018, Jacobs has continued to make occasional WWE appearances, including last week. Jacobs has also issued a statement on his victory:

Tonight was a victory for our Knox County conservative values. I can not express my gratitude to everyone who has shown me support over the past months! It is my honor to serve as your Mayor. Read my statement here ? pic.twitter.com/0zYFNfhTiT

Thank you! Crystal and I are immensely grateful for your support. I will continue to work hard to serve the people of Knox County and fight for your freedom and our conservative values every day. On to August! pic.twitter.com/o4FNm8zFY2

Opinion: Ignoring Jacobs’ stances on politics, this is quite the amazing story, as he has had a Hall of Fame career in wrestling and moved on to a pretty important role outside of the ring. Not many people are able to say something like that and it is as impressive as you get outside of wrestling. Jacobs will probably win re-election, meaning he will spend eight years in the job. That isn’t bad after a 20+ year wrestling career so well done.

Which of Jacobs’ careers are more impressive? Will he wrestle again? Let us know in the comments below.
