    When someone from Knox County say to someone from another city "My mayor can chokeslam yours" it is NOT a joke. Mayor KANE! Jacobs is very well educated, reported by coworkers as one of the most intelligent not only in action but administrating what he's earned. Pay attention there are 2 men in wrestling no one has anything negative to say: Glenn Jacobs (Kane) and his "brother" and close friend Mark Callahan (The Undertaker)
