WWE star Glenn Jacobs, now serving as mayor of Tennessee’s Knox County, has made a bold offer to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz – a charity wrestling match. After Walz’s controversial comments about Trump supporters, Jacobs says he’s ready to step into the ring with him for a good cause.
In a recent interview on OutKick’s The Ricky Cobb Show, Glenn Jacobs, the legendary WWE wrestler known as Kane, shared more details about his challenge to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Jacobs, who now serves as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, is ready to take part in a wrestling-style charity match against Walz, all for a good cause.
Jacobs’ challenge came in response to remarks Walz made on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast. During the podcast, Walz said that he could easily defeat most supporters of former President Donald Trump. This statement sparked a wave of reactions, including Jacobs’ offer to take the fight to the wrestling ring.
Jacobs expressed his surprise at Walz’s words, saying, “You know, obviously, my first reaction when I saw what he said was, ‘You gotta be kidding me man, Tim Walz is saying that?’ Then I thought to myself, ‘Wait a second, this could be really cool.’”
Instead of responding with anger, Jacobs saw an opportunity to turn the situation into something positive. He proposed a charity wrestling match where the proceeds would go to good causes, with both Jacobs and Walz choosing their respective organizations to benefit from the event. Jacobs made it clear that he would not intend to harm Walz, emphasizing his professional reputation as a wrestler.
“I’m not going to hurt him, I promise. I was the consummate professional, ask anybody I worked with. I make it look good, but I didn’t hurt people. I pride myself on that,” Jacobs explained. “And I’m willing to agree to a stipulation. If I have to wrestle with one hand tied behind my back or wear a blindfold or whatever, I’ll do anything to get him in the ring.”
This offer shows Jacobs’ willingness to go above and beyond to make this charity event happen. Whether or not Walz accepts the challenge remains uncertain, but Jacobs is hopeful that it could be a fun and positive event that benefits worthy causes.
While the match would undoubtedly be an entertaining spectacle, Jacobs believes it could also lead to a greater understanding between him and Walz. Despite their differing political views, Jacobs is optimistic about the possibility of forging a new friendship after the event.
“And what he is going to find is actually fun, and I think afterward we could be friends. We’d disagree on politics, but I think that we could be friends and we’d have newfound respect for each other,” Jacobs said.
The idea of a high-profile political figure stepping into the wrestling ring with a WWE legend like Jacobs has certainly generated attention. While Walz has yet to publicly respond to the challenge, the notion of seeing the two men in the ring for a good cause is undoubtedly exciting for wrestling fans and political observers alike.
Jacobs’ offer also highlights his commitment to using his platform for charitable causes. As both a public servant and a former WWE superstar, Jacobs understands the impact that such an event could have in raising funds for important initiatives.
Whether or not the match takes place, one thing is clear – Jacobs is willing to do anything to make it happen. His approach reflects a sense of humor and a desire to turn a potentially negative situation into something positive, all while helping others.
As the debate over Walz’s comments continues, the idea of a charity wrestling match with Jacobs could serve as a lighthearted way to address political differences and create an entertaining, meaningful event for all involved.
Will Governor Tim Walz accept the challenge from WWE’s Glenn Jacobs? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – this charity wrestling match would be one for the history books. Stay tuned for updates on whether the two will step into the ring together.
