Who won the election? That’s gotta be Kane.
Former WWE Champion Kane won his election for Tennessee county mayor
Yes, this is a real headline.
Yes, that Kane — the former WWE Champion whose character is a masked fire-summoning monster — won his election for mayor of Knox County Tennessee, according to WBIR.
The pro wrestler-turned-republican-candidate took a 2-1 lead early in the polls against Linda Haney. Kane, whose real name is Glen Jacobs, had not shied away from his association with wrestling. In fact, his campaign shirts were directly influenced by popular wrestling shirts throughout the years. He even had help from various wrestlers making appearances, most notably by his WWE legend and ‘brother’ The Undertaker.
Kane has appeared sparingly on WWE shows like Raw and Smackdown over the last few months. Just recently, Kane briefly teamed up Daniel Bryan, a former WWE Champion who once formed the tag team named Team Hell No. They took on Smackdown tag team champions The Bludgeon Brothers and lost.
Now that Jacobs is mayor-elect, his full-time wrestling days may be coming to a close.
