Wrestling fans know Mayor Glenn Jacobs as WWE Superstar Kane. Mayor Jacobs has been with the WWE since 1995, and since 2018 he has served as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. He is also the author of the excellent book, "Mayor Kane: My Life in Wrestling and Politics"—likely the only book in history to have chapters detailing both Austrian economics and Japanese shoot wrestling.
