Glenn “Kane” Jacobs challenges Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to a wrestling match

Mar 22, 2025 - by Colin Vassallo

Knox County Mayor and former WWE champion Glenn “Kane” Jacobs has challenged Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to a wrestling match for charity.

The challenge came after Walz, who ran for Vice President in the last U.S. elections, said he could “kick most Trump supporters’ ass.”

Jacobs answered the challenge and in a post on X suggested to Walz to put their money where their mouth is.

“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 former WWE champion wrote.

Walz did not respond, and Jacobs posted a photo of a ticking clock.

“We already have close to $50K in pledges and a corporate title sponsor! C’mon, @GovTimWalz, let’s raise some money for a good cause,” he continued.

    Who cares about the Governor not responding? He has better things to do than dealing with that pathetic Knoxville County mayor. Walz’s no socialist; use common sense, DB.

    Use common sense, DB. Governor Walz has better things to do than dealing with that useless Knoxville County mayor. Kane won’t do USA AID either.

    @DB
    Thank you for another day well started. You really outdid yourself this time. Counting on you for the weekend.

    Now, every political faction in the history of the world liked, likes, and will like to be boisterous when in a mob. (You blubbering toddler…) Remember May 19th? I’m hearing January 6th right now…

    By the way, are my challenges to you not one on one? Or are the grounds unfair? What if I told you I’ll put money up for charity, will that work?

    But what concerns me the most here is that you’re implying Corporate Kane’s gonna take back everything he offered for charity if whoever that Waltz guy is doesn’t man up. What kind of a man dangles a carrot in front of the needy?

    The way you actually support people in need is by teaching them how to no longer need charity, by donating work and time, not money. But that won’t wow stupid people, because stupid people like shiny things. Work and time don’t shine, no matter the effects…

    See ya tomorrow!

    Where’s Waldo has competition from Where’s Walz. Maybe Lil’ Timmy might pop his head out? I doubt it. He and his fans are one of a kind, and it’s got nothing to do with integrity.

    America’s Mayor is still waiting. The people putting up the money for charity are still waiting. The people who will benefit from charity are still waiting, waiting, waiting.

  6. Not DB says:

    Face it, Mayor Kane is wasting his time, alright. Just move on.

  7. Luke says:

    @DB
    I’m also willing to put money up for charity. I’m also waiting.

    Those poor people. If a Big Red dumbass can’t shine, they get nothing. I guess one can only hope they will use this time to teach themselves what they should be taught by the people in charge. Assuming those people actually knew something they could teach in the first place…

    By the way, is that all of America, or just selected parts?

    You kind of suck today, but I get it, it’s been a long week, you must be tired from putting in all the work to post politics on a wrestling site where you rile up just one guy and are very amusing to another. Maybe take the rest of the weekend off and come back fresh on Monday? How can we miss you if you won’t go away?

    Tim Walz for saying he can kick any Trump supporter’s ass is asinine. Look at him. This guy looks like he’d have a hard time fighting out of a wet paper bag. But Glenn Jacobs challenging him to a match is just as idiotic. Anyone with even half a brain can tell that this challenge is nothing more than a publicity stunt by Glenn Jacobs to get media attention. He knows full well that Tim Walz is never going to accept a challenge like this. Especially not for a wrestling match that clearly favors one man over the other. Not just for size, but the fact that Glenn Jacob’s career was professional wrestling. I think if the goal was to really raise money for charity the challenge would be something both are equally bad at, or even good at. Put their political differences aside and do something to raise money for charity.

    @Joseph
    Boom, right there: cooperation! It’s exactly as simple as you make it sound. But stupid people have serious trouble understanding that concept.

  10. DB says:

    @Joseph We all know, well some of us on this site do, that pro wrestling is pre-determined. If Walz wasn’t a typical wishy-washy politician with low awareness, he would have reached out to Jacobs in some way. But alas, Walz has a big mouth. very little courage, and that makes for good fodder for salty tears from our resident peanut gallery. Sit back and enjoy.

  11. DB says:

    Is wishy-washy no show Walz still afraid of the Big Red Machine? Is there any way of getting in touch with one of his handlers to entice him out from under the bed. Maybe even supply Lil’ Timmy with a night light to encourage him, or is his ticker flat out empty of courage?

  12. Not DB says:

    Wishy-washy DB’s drunk again for sure.

  13. Luke says:

    @Joseph
    To follow up on that stupidity… As you can see, it’s always the other guy’s fault. No need to know facts, my guy is always better, the other must grovel. People like this are the root of all conflict. And since most people are exactly like this, the world ain’t getting any better any time soon.

    Just to be clear (because I know there’s a certain someone that can’t comprehend it’s even possible and thinks I’m gonna be insulted when “my guy” is getting insulted), I see two pussies here. Or three if you include the guy who can’t shut up about it and keeps… Walzin? Would that work?

  14. DB says:

    Anyone heard from Lil’ Tampon Timmy lately? Someone should do a mental wellness check on him, like they should have done with Biden.

  15. USA #1 says:

    DB’s drunk again like it’s everyday.

  16. DB says:

    Is Lil’ Tampon Timmy auditioning for another Invisible Man movie? Might as well cast him as he has experience in keeping a low profile after being called out by a real, visible man.

  17. USA #1 says:

    Anyone heard from the crack addict DB? He should be checked out in a mental institution for his low IQ consistently.
