Glenn Thomas Jacobs, a multifaceted individual, is widely recognized by his professional wrestling moniker, Kane. This American personality has successfully transitioned into politics, serving as the Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee since 2018. Furthermore, he is currently affiliated with WWE.
Jacobs embarked on his professional wrestling journey on the independent circuit in 1992, competing in various promotions, including Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW) and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA). He eventually joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1995.
Throughout his wrestling career, Jacobs portrayed a diverse range of characters until 1997, when he underwent a significant transformation, adopting the persona of Kane, a horror-themed individualization of fire and a juggernaut. This "hellfire and brimstone" character was conceptualized as the younger half-brother of The Undertaker and the son of Paul Bearer.
This backstory was rooted in the characters' youth, revolving around acts of arson committed by The Undertaker. Jacobs would frequently engage in feuds and team up with The Undertaker as The Brothers of Destruction, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling.
