[Emperor Smeat]

Glenn “Kane” Jacobs has won the election for mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, running as a Republican and defeating his Democratic opponent Linda Haney by 65%-35%.

Kane first publicly announced that he was “seriously considering” running for the mayoral seat in May of 2016. He won the Republican primary on May 1 of this year by just 24 votes.

Kane got over 48k votes while his opponent Haney only got over 24k votes with 96% of the precincts reported in so far.

TN is truly frightening.

I really hope he doesn't fuck this one up and keeps the mask on the entire term.

[Lock Jaw]

TN is truly frightening.

TN? "This news"? Why does that need to be shortened......

[Simple Fan]

He's talking about Tennessee.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I wonder if his first official act will be to chokeslam the former mayor straight to Hell while J.R. calls the action...

[DAMN iNATOR]

He's talking about Tennessee.

Mr. Jaw is having a laugh at STD using the postal abbreviation instead of just writing Tennessee.

[Destor]

He'll be an excellent mayor.

[OverTaker]

I wonder if there will be pyro?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good for him. I haven't really looked into the specifics of Kane's politics, but he seems like a smart guy.

[Ruien]

Good for him. Cant wait for his president run with appearances from all the wrestlers.

I am formerly from Knox County, I'm proud of our Mayor. I met Kane when I was 10 years at what was eventually my high school when he was dropping his step daughter off at an event one night. I was so scared to meet up but I walked up as a 10 year old mark and said "Mr. Jacobs.... can I have your autograph?!" He was so damn big. "How did you know my name son?" "At least I didn't call you Dr. Yankeem" I said. LOL

Hard Knox County

[Jordan]

I'm actually flying into Knox County this morning. I have a $100 cab ride ahead of me from Brooklyn to Newark Airport because the Penn Station trains don't start until 5am. Kane would never let this slide in K-Town.

His promo after winning the world title was better

[KIRA]

His promo after winning the world title was better

Republican libertarian or whatever I would have absolutely loved it if he gave a modified version of that promo as his victory speech

[ClockShot]

Need Howard Finkle to announce him when he goes to take the oath of office.

Need Howard Finkle to announce him when he goes to take the oath of office.

Fink hasn't been too well lately.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I bet the town is doing fine.

KK now has a job as the enforcer of Knox County.

I'm happy for Kane, he seems like a geniunly nice guy and his career in the WWE/WWF wasn't as good as it could have been as I think WWE messed up a lot of opportunities. Hopefully he gets to do something he enjoys now and he deserves a good retirement as a public figure. It looks like he wants to do some good things for society, even if I don't agree with his political views.

[Curtis]

Also, Mike Knox should've attacked him during the speech and said,




"remember Glen, this is KNOX county"
