Glenn Jacobs, the WWE Hall of Famer known as Kane and a former Knox County mayor, spoke at a Donald Trump rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, praising the president as warm, funny and tough and noting their shared WWE Hall of Fame status. Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette responded on social media, accusing Jacobs of selling out for political power and condemning Trump in harsh terms. Their dispute has a personal history: Cornette booked Jacobs early in his wrestling career, before Jacobs became Kane.
