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

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

He's talking about Tennessee.
Mr. Jaw is having a laugh at STD using the postal abbreviation instead of just writing Tennessee.

-Continue to attract new jobs to the area
-Improve our roads and infrastructure
-Full and absolute transparency
-Work to create safer communities
-A fresh outlook on limited government

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

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
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

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.

Also, Mike Knox should've attacked him during the speech and said,
"remember Glen, this is KNOX county"
