- Glenn Jacobs, the conservative small business owner best known as the professional wrestler Kane, defeated Democratic nominee Linda Haney in the Knox County mayoral race on Thursday, according to unofficial returns.
Speaking to attendees of his watch party at Crowne Plaza in downtown Knoxville, Jacobs said he doesn't normally use wrestling analogies for a campaign.
"But this professional wrestler got into a no-holds-barred, last-man-standing match, and when the bell rung, he was victorious," he said. "We were victorious." Read more: knoxne.ws/2WWN28Y

That moment WWE took the Corporate Kane gimmick too far lol
Xtream Attitude this comment made my day
Hahahaha!!!
He as more popularity than Linda McMahon hahaha
Can't stop laughing!
You know Kane was into politics long before his corporate Kane gimmick, good joke though.
"My mayor can beat up your mayor" - Knox County folk
Wakean Mapping you should put that on a t-shirt
Wakean Mapping As a citizen of Knoxville, this has never been more true.
@@ikerants745 you mean like Jesse ventura did.
But it should be "my mayor can piledrive your mayor"
I remember your mayor hooked Jumper cables up to Shane o macs nuts one time lol
"You mean, in a race?" . "That too, but I mean, for REAL."
Vince McMahon is probably dreaming up ways on how to tie this into a WWE Pay-Per-View
That's what I was thinking as well
Oh you know Vinnie Mac is somewhere in the back stage.
It could be called WWE Political View ;!
Lol the Mayor in the bank ladder match. If you get the brief case you can cash in pin Kane you become the new Mayor lol.
Kane vs Jesse Ventura. The two wrestlers that became politicians. Hogan dressed as Mr. America will be the referee. Going to bring back the Great American Bash just for this match.
THROUGH HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE ITS *_MAYOR KANE!_*
VINOS nico nico ni
VINOS STOP BEING IN EVERY VIDEO YOU MEMING WEEB. Jk I like your vids

James Rodolfo the bloke who does the JKNs compilations
Lol
He did mic work for the past 20 years!
Corporate Kane gimmicks gone too far!
Hot News its no longer Corporate, its Mayor.

Zack Kaiser r/woooosh

Hot News omg I just laughed way too hard at this comment!!!
Chokeslam the Establishment!

Taxes into the tombstone!
Establshment: somebody who knows what they are doing and not BULLSHITTING !
Justin S who cares.
You get a chokeslam

Everbody gets a chokeslam
He's part of the Libertarian wing of the Rep Party who are always at odds with the Establishment Republicans.
J.R that's Gotta be kane 😂
Vampire Shawn at first I thought u was talking about jr smith
Vampire Shawn "That's... That's gotta be... That's gotta be Kane! That's gotta be Kane!!!" was a Vince McMahon call, his best bit of commentary ever in my opinion.
Vampire Shawn watcha out watch out.... Oh no it's still chair!! 😂😂😂😂
He's huge whoever he is 😆
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God....
first we had demon kane... then we had corporate kane... now we have Mayor Kane... this is awesome...
PaulNat360
next president Kane
dreammaster100 my god.
Let's take it step by step how about first Senator Kane
Citizen Kane
He buried his brother alive multiple times
He set people on fire
He tombstoned women
He won championships
And now he's the Mayor of Knoxville
Congratulations!
Don’t forget about that whole Katie Vick thing... No pun intended; but that could possibly bury his political career.
Johnny Eyeball Don't worry. Undertaker will definitely make them famous.
Jalen Payton What about that time when he electrocuted Shane McMahon's balls ?
Luis Flores riiiiight scripted TV will definitely ruin a sucessful guy who I'm pretty sure his entire community already know about...
savvy830 And setting a casket on fire with Undertaker inside
I love that they played his theme
nononanon right
nononanon this is why TRUMP is so smart. he has Mrs. Machman(horrible spelling) working under him. Literally!!!
nononanon I still can't believe he is Mayor. I mean he is a highly intelligent man, but I will always see him as Kane.
nononanon they have good taste
cpk1994 especially a republican mayor
This is going to be his longest title reign.
1 day wwe champion
Well said !!!
Asen Nikolaev At least he hell the WHC for a while.
This looks like a WWE Promo.
Except with huge words.
They used his wrestling theme song.

MrBertWayne lol
Kane is one of the most loyal representatives of the WWE. Without Kane, WWE wouldn't have reached the height they have reached now. It's amazing how Kane still manages to show up occasionally and wrestles even at this age. He is one true deserving candidate of the WWE Hall of Fame. You deserve it. #Mayor_Kane #Legend
2021 he hall of fame class
Devils favorite demon to devils favorite mayor. thanks for the likes
Would rather have him as president than Trump
*at a trump rally* JR: BAH GOD HERE COMES KANE!!!! HE'S GOT S STEEL CHAIR!!!!
A
What would that make the undertaker then?
darksymphony777 president taker
The man understands politics. The work is never over and it's all about the people working as one. I respect Glenn Jacobs!!!
Romedawg Talking to him, you could picture him in the halls of an Ivy League school, eloquently lecturing. His deep understanding of individual civil liberties and the limits of government power are almost unheard of.
Big red wall or big red machine?
BOTH!!!!!
Big red mayor
Big red wave
michael stark BOTH
you're*
should have finished the speech with the pyro
Ashiq Farzan if it was outside he probably could
Toasty!!!!!
Ashiq Farzan That would have been a fiery exit...BOOM!!! SIZZLE!!!!!;
lol that room would have been filled with smoke soo fast if they did that..
It's not in the budget
I can't believe they played *Slow Chemical!!!!*
Thank you Kane for making my childhood memorable
Thank you Finger Eleven for giving us so many cool songs along with the masterpiece Kane used!

The next time WWE visits Knox County, Tennessee for a show, Mayor Kane needs to make an appearance!!
That's a future senator or U.S. representative
mike jones would you vote for him if he ran for pres?
No blacks
Maybe a future President
Austin Sims what the hell? Gtfo. We have no need for people like you in the Republican Party.
Austin Sims what does that even mean??? Random as hell, man.
Congratulations to Mr. Jacobs. Everyone in society thinks that Pro Wrestlers are uneducated folks that just can't find work any other way. Glenn Jacobs being elected Mayor proves that we (Pro Wrestlers) have intelligence as well. GOD Bless Mr. Jacobs & his family. LOWER THE BOOM on em!
I wonder if people voted for him because hes kane 🤣
he will chokeslam anyone who didn't vote for him, line them up out the door for the annual chokeslam
Dude if I lived in Knoxsville I would 100% vote for Kane he could literally have the worst polices but he’s freaking Kane
Hearts and minds.
Not "if" but "How many" lol
@@CrackDCat LoL
He has by far, the best entrance music of any politician in the history of humanity.
BIG RED MAYOR, Congratulations
Mr. Universe Hell yeahhhh
hell yea play that song
They actually played the Kane theme XD
xIanF10x SLOW CHEMICAL.
Daniel Bryan should have been there and started a YES! chant.
i heard daniel wnna move thier now lol
I'm no GOP or Dem supporter... but he seems like a real person. Hopefully he stays that way.
J M he is. His political beliefs are extreme- sound money, ZERO foreign military engagement, low taxes, civil liberties, radical decentralization of power...he’s a Rothbardian. Biscuits by Kacey Musgraves is probably his real theme song.
Dale F yeah, I dont agree with his political beliefs, but he is genuinely a nice guy so I look forward to seeing what he does as mayor.
He's a libertarian. He's socially liberal and fiscally conservative
I also like that he says they must be inclusive and include more people like minorities.
Knox county's favorite demon.
he is now the Citizens' Kane
Citizen's Kane! BY GAWD BY GAWD IT'S CITIZEN'S KANE!
HE'S GOT A TAX CUT PLAN AND A STEEL CHAIR!!!!!!!
Hard Knox County
Easternborder... Nice play of words, saw what you did there!
Easternborder how is this not top comment 😂😂😂
OMG they just used The 2002 theme Lol.
it's the best theme for him
Joshua Ngau Ajang I thought it was called The Flame Returns?
william Nah it's Slow Chemical
A positive result from going to Anger Management.
😆
Congratulations kane 🔥 love from india❤️🇮🇳
He used Slow Chemical aka the best theme. Gotta love Kane
Cuts a promo like a boss.. Kayfabe is alive
I wonder, if the GOP would invite him to speak at the next convention? Talking about prime time.
He should have ripped the door off its hinges and walked into the room.
Erwin925 that's gotta be the mayor!!!
Erwin925 GOD GAWD ALMIGHTY IT’S KANE! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE GOOD GAWD!
"My mayor is tougher than your mayor"
-The people of Knox County
7 feet tall My Mayor
Well they right about this cause he's 7ft freaking migthy monster Kane 🔥
The fact they played Slow Chemical makes it even better
As a conservative republican thank you Glenn & spot on
And he’s republican too?! Dude is my favorite wrestler and he’s republican!!! What a beast
Money Magic He's more in between. He wants the Republican party fixed and doesn't like how trump acts.
more of a libertarian just that ppl arent smart enough to vote 3rd party so he joined the republicans
Weapons Of Warfare that makes sense. I can respect that
The Republicans are the only sensible choice between the two
Love the big dude to chokeslam Stephen Colbert!
1:50 and onwards Kane goes into a shoot promo.
Political pipebomb.
renDerde lmao his heel promo on Democrats 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
They actually put his old song lol if he ever runs from president and win would the national anthem be his song?
Kane for president in my opinion. Congrats champ!!
He’s born in Spain you dumbass
@Fjorgyn Only a natural-born citizen are allowed to be US President. However, like John McCain who was born in an US military base in Panama, Kane was born on an US Military base in Spain, he is qualified. Also, Natural-Born Citizens is defined as "the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.” Which is why Ted Cruz is also qualified to run for President, even though he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
@Fjorgyn Dude, you're mad for no reason, take it easy 😂
President Glenn Jacobs 2028
@@murkdsgameplay3958 hey dumbass he was born there yes, but was there due to his father being in the Military. Get educated before you say something stupid again.
I would love to see the reactions of people who don't know anything about his wrestling past and hearing him come out to a song that says ""The wonder of the world is gone, I know for sure..."
A Republican I'd actually consider for president
waitwhatOo Any Republican is better than a Democrat.
Buggar A Americans is better than a Republican
Buggar I'd vote for any institutionalized mental patient before voting for a Repúblican or Democrat.
Michael Terndrup Americans are Republicans.
LL NN nice "Hur dur centrism everyone else is Stoopid" routine but when it comes down to it, Republican economic policy works. Their foreign and boarder policy are the only sane option.
THE BIG RED MAYORCHINE!
Josh Waldorf
Heh, good one.
Thank you.
I love how Kane walked to the stage to slow chemical lol ❤
Pissed myself laughing he had his theme playing 😂😂
Too bad he couldn’t do his signature pyro after the speech was over. Probably against the fire code.
Gh0streach probably. Maybe at his inauguration speech if it’s outside
Because he his Glenn Jacobs. That's kane's thing not Glenn Jacobs thing. Kane is just a charcter he plays.
Gh0streach Maybe he could change the fire code!
Ronald Shank every one just take out a lighter and wave it
Gh0streach Fire code, nice....😊
He didnt even thank his Brother The Undertaker or his dad Paul Bearer 😒
Erwin925 I hate to be that guy but undertaker isn't his real brother and idk about Paul bearer
Paul bearer is dead
He's joking guys..
Random guy I know but idk if Paul is the dad to him
hail Kozakistan how do you know
Future president of the USA
wehttam90 Wasn't Obama born outside of the USA? ......
Alomayri A Can't he still? I hope he can! The guy is great, I am so happy for him! He was born here in Europe, but it'd be great to see the Big Red Monster in the White House! Greetings from Spain!
wehttam90 What’s your point? Ted Cruz was born in Canada
KANE 2020. His moto “through hell fire and brimstone USA”
wehttam90 *kenya
He should have done his in-ring fire storm thing when he left.
1:12 he elbowed her in the face!!!!🤣🤣
INTIMIDATOR 37 They should’ve chanted “YOUVE STILL GOT IT!!!”
Smiley Dolly 😂😂😂 u funny as shit for that I woulda died if they chanted that 💀💀💀
Kane no you won already o.0 standing elbow drop lmao
He does 69 with her while standing (Tombstone Piledriver)
BAH GAWD SHE HAS A FAMILY

Hell, fire, and brimstone.

Undertaker will become city councilor??
He got his theme song. Lol
So good to see him achieve whatever he wants... He's the G.O.A.T in wrestling alongside taker....
I love how he always includes his wife for everything relationship goals.
President Kane for 2024???
Marc The Vegas Gamer He can't.He was born in Spain.You have to be born on America
Doesn't matter where as long as both parents are US citizens. Look at McCain, he was born in Panama.
Glenn is born in a US military base in Spain, which is categorized as US territory, plus his parents are both US citizen thus making him natural born citizen. According to the US constitution article 11, a natural born citizen can run for office
Marc The Vegas Gamer Kane was born on a US military base
I thought he was born in hell and revived by the Undertaker
He appeared in his entrance song??? DAMMMMMM 🔥🔥🔥 badass Ma G!!! KANE 4 PRESIDENT!!!
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾🎈 to Kane
So true, Kane represents true Republicanism, small government, individual liberty, and a free economy. That is representative of the real American dream.
hail Kozakistan Other politicians should consult him like an oracle.
Alan Heyes Him, and Ron Paul are what's best for buisness

I'm so happy right now..I'm not from Tennessee..hell I'm not even from the USA..but I'm happy
Ishan Bhowmick Fortunately, he understands politics much better than 99% of the Congress. He is a hard-core libertarian, deeply influenced by Murray Rothbard. He intimately understand the dangers of powerful centralized government, and how it distorts a society and an economy.
He’s the best.
he is such a gentleman and good man.
Love how he used Slow Chemical for his entrance. He knows what his best theme is.
Kane for President 2024
he is a great speaker also.
clarclil His articulate private conversation would probably make the average person drop their job. He knows history, economics, and how this game is played. I’m so happy for him!
Best entrance everrrre 🤣
If Kane becomes president, he would be the tallest president in history by a long shot at 6'11 lol
lol his so tall
Yes, 5feet-11inches tall..
7.0 tall
Yeah, Kane is billed as a 7 foot big red machine, but I think his true height is 6 feet 9 inches.
What is the differnce between billed height and actual height?
Billed height is just an exaggerated height by pro wrestling industry to make the character sounds taller than he/she actually is.
draining the swamp one choke slam at a time
Corporate Kane keeping kayfabe alive in 2018
KANE FOR PRESIDENT.....NEXT......
Freddy 4Life he can’t he was born In Spain
scorp1us In a US military base though so he is actually applicable for presidency

Slow chemical, my god. Its beautiful
