A legend of professional wrestling is hoping that the unlikeliest of charity events can raise money for a good cause: a match against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Glenn Jacobs, who went by the stage name Kane during his career, may now be the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee but remains a performer at heart. On Friday, he challenged Walz to wrestle him for charity after the Democrat claimed that he “could kick most Trump supporters’ a–.”
In his prime, Kane stood 7 feet tall and weighed in at 300 pounds, eviscerating lesser foes since he first launched his professional career in 1992. He joined the WWE in 1995 and over 20+ years helped make wrestling matches a staple of American TV while doing battle against the likes of The Undertaker, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Dwane “The Rock” Johnson.
Despite withdrawing from the ring in 2017, Kane apparently relishes the opportunity to take down Walz after the vice presidential candidate began running his mouth about fighting MAGA diehards.
“All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match. We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I’ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?” the mayor posted on X recently, according to Fox News.
Speaking recently with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Walz boldly proclaimed that he isn’t afraid to physically fight for his beliefs.
“I think I could kick most of their a–. I know I can outrun them. I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing,” he said on “The Gavin Newsom Show.”
Kane remains close with The Undertaker, his “half-brother” in the world of wrestling and another rock-ribbed Trump supporter. Shortly before the election, the wrestler, whose given name is Mark Calaway, implored his followers to vote for President Donald Trump.
“All right everyone. November 5th – ElectionMania. The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane, and The Undertaker, or you can take Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista, and Tim Walz. Choose wisely – the nation depends on it,” The Undertaker said in a TikTok video announcing his endorsement.
Trump’s calculation to lean into the world of wrestling paid off in a big way. He appeared on Calaway’s podcast and attended numerous WWE and MMA fights along the campaign trail.
Hulk Hogan, perhaps the most recognizable wrestler of all time, famously opened for Trump at the Republican National Convention last August, where he ripped his shirt off while on stage.
Speaking with NPR afterward, Hogan said the crowd’s “vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was gonna press that no-good stinky giant over my head and slam him into the mat, brother.”
Walz has so far not stated whether he’ll accept Kane’s offer.
