“Who else is excited to be here today and to hear from the greatest president in our lifetime, Donald J. Trump? I’ve been fortunate to spend some time with President Trump. I’ve been blown away by how gracious, funny, and warm he is. It’s kind of the opposite of how the liberal media portrays him. He’s also incredibly tough. He took a bullet for us. No wonder he’s in the WWE Hall of Fame, an honor that I share along with him.”

Longtime wrestling personality Jim Cornette responded to Jacobs in a post via Twitter/X…

“Ladies and Gentlemen, here is a formerly admired superstar selling his soul for political power by praising the most repugnant criminal pig that ever walked the Earth. Trump can start wars, have people murdered in the streets, but ‘Hey Suckers, vote for me!’ F*ck you Glenn.”

It’s an honor to share the stage with the greatest president of our lifetime.

Jacobs could now be headed to the U.S. Senate. According to a report from Axios, Jacobs is being viewed as a potential candidate for an appointment to the Senate.

The appointment could become necessary if Senator Marsha Blackburn wins the Tennessee gubernatorial race. Under Tennessee law, the governor would be responsible for appointing someone to fill the vacant Senate seat on an interim basis.

Blackburn’s campaign has pushed back against reports that she is already putting together a shortlist of potential replacements.

“She has been very clear there will be no discussions about a potential replacement until the appropriate time,” campaign manager Abigail Sigler told Axios, adding that Blackburn is currently focused on the November election.

If Blackburn wins the governor’s race and leaves her Senate seat vacant, she would have the authority to appoint an interim replacement. The person selected would serve until the next statewide election for the seat in 2028.

“Ultimately the measure of the mayor is, did you leave your community in a better place than when you started? Overall, I feel that is what has happened here. Knox County was already the best place to live, work and raise a family. I hope working together, we’ve made it even better than it was eight years ago. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to be a small part of that.”

A report from wate.com stated that Jacobs cited not raising taxes, Operation Heroes, the START Center, school-related initiatives and downtown projects among his biggest accomplishments. Regarding his political future, he said he would have to consider whether another run for office would be the right decision for his family, noting that Knox County mayor is a major commitment.

“It was a really good idea, but the execution wasn’t that great. And again, the reason was because everything moves so fast, and sometimes we just forget the idea.

“It was my idea. I talked to Vince [McMahon] about it. Vince liked it—probably not so much for the reasons from my perspective.

“So, what had happened was, Undertaker was in a rivalry with Big Van Vader, and they were in Kuwait. Some of you guys remember this — the talk show host in Kuwait which is a Middle Eastern country, probably not the most progressive criminal justice system. The talk show host said something to Vader, Leon, like, you know, the old ‘is wrestling fake?’ So Leon kind of roughed him up a little — not terrible — but kind of grabbed him, and he was like, ‘This fake?’ which led to his arrest in Kuwait. A Middle Eastern country is probably not going to have the most progressive criminal justice system, right? So they needed an opponent for Undertaker, and that was where the original idea for Kane came from.

“If I were him, I wouldn’t. Politics is incredibly contentious and toxic right now. You know, everybody likes Dwayne no matter where you are on the political spectrum because he’s a great entertainer and he’s just a good guy.

While speaking to Newsmax, Kane (Glenn Jacobs) gave his thoughts on the news…

“Well, certainly it’s no surprise. I know where Mick is at politically, and we’ve had our discussions about politics. We’ve always been able to keep them civil, and I wish that could happen more on public platforms altogether. One thing is, we live in a country where we are free to disagree about things. I think Mick is wrong, but nevertheless, he’s entitled to his opinion. I will defend his right to say that, even if I do think he’s wrong. And that’s the beauty of America. I wish that would kind of be all over the place, as opposed to just in wrestling.”

“Kane said, this was before he was a politician and was on Twitter, right? But he did say, ‘You’ve really made it when people start suing you.’ I haven’t been sued yet so I haven’t made it.”

“I loved Glenn. You know, we traveled together. We went to Doctor Who conventions for WWE and all that kind of stuff. Sweet guy. And then all of a sudden, he turned into a politician and lost his f*cking mind. I was on a lot of drugs and alcohol. I wasn’t listening to anybody but myself. But I was a little disappointed.”

“I think I could kick most of their ass. I don’t know if I could outrun them, but I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we want to, okay we challenge you to a WWE fight here.”

Knox County, TN Mayor Glenn Jacobs, known to wrestling fans as Kane, issued a response to Walz…

“All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match. We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I’ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?”
