WWE wrestler Kane will become the next mayor of Tennessee's Knox County following a victory at the polls Thursday.


Republican candidate Glenn Jacobs, better known by his stage name Kane, was determined to have beaten Democrat Linda Haney shortly after 8 p.m. local time, according to (https://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/wwe-wrestler-kane-is-new-knox-county-mayor/579769300?cachebusterTimestamp=1533256767093?cache busterTimestamp=1533256767093) local reports.


The small business owner was up by a rate of two-to-one when the election was called, a much higher rate than the 23 voters by which he won the GOP primary earlier this year.


Jacobs has lived in eastern Tennessee with his wife for 23 years and moved to the county several years ago.


He oversees Jacobs Insurance Associates in nearby Halls, Tenn.


He will assume office Sept. 1. Jacobs campaigned to "make Knox County what President Reagan referred to as the 'shining city upon a hill.'".....snip~

Imagine that.....A WWE/WWF wrestler beats out a Demo for Mayor in Tenn. Also Congresswoman Black was beat out by a newcomer for Governor of Tenn and will face off against the Demo that's running. Marsha Blackburn won her primary to take Corkers seat. What say ye?

I just moved from East Tennessee but say good for them in electing this man. Knoxville and Knox County have been increasing moving to the fascist, government control sector in recent years. Maybe this means an end to that.

Lol I've been watching Kane on WWE on and off through the years since I was in the 4th grade. This is pretty cool.

The Demos want to flood the area around Nashville. Get some actors and actresses living down there. Get up some housing projects, and get people on the dole.

Knox County is already Republican, but Democrats can't afford to lose that county in the Senate or Governor races. The rural areas of TN are already too Republican and can outvote suburbs and urban areas.
