Despite winning the race to become a mayor in Tennessee ‘s Knox County, Glenn Jacobs popularly known as ‘Kane’ in the wrestling world has vowed to continue making special appearances in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

After taking 66 percent of the votes to defeat Linda Haney, his Democrat opponent, the legendary wrestler maintains that professional wrestling would always be a part and parcel of his life.

Nicknamed ‘The Big Red Machine’, Jacobs would now devote most of his time to his political career.

“WWE is always going to be part of me and hopefully I’ll always be part of it,” Jacobs  said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

“I haven’t ruled out making special appearances every now and then. My main priority is being mayor, of course. My role in the WWE does bring a lot of attention to Knox County, so that’s cool.

“It’s just a matter of making sure everything I do – WWE or any other outside stuff – does not impact my role as mayor,” he added.

Kane’s most recent involvement in WWE saw him reunited with Daniel Bryan in the ‘Team Hell No’ tag team title fight where they lost to the Bludgeon Brothers at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Jacobs is the second WWE wrestler to move into public life, following Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura’s stint as mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota from 1991-95 and then four years as the governor of Minnesota.
