Kane Reacts To Mick Foley Ending WWE Relationship Over Donald Trump
Glenn ‘Kane’ Jacobs was not surprised by Mick Foley’s latest move.
The Hardcore legend had announced last week that he was parting ways with WWE over their support of Donald Trump. The wrestling veteran said that he would not make an appearance for the promotion as long as Trump was in office.
Kane was asked about this stand from the fellow legend during an interview with Newsmax. The former World Champion claimed that the move did not come as a surprise to him, and they live in a country where people are free to disagree about things:
“Well, certainly it’s no surprise. I know where Mick is at politically, and we’ve had our discussions about politics. We’ve always been able to keep them civil, and I wish that could happen more on public platforms altogether. One thing is, we live in a country where we are free to disagree about things.”
A member of the republican party himself, Glenn Jacobs is the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, in his second term in office. The former WWE star has defended Donald Trump on many issues in the past. In July 2020, he was the only member of the Knox County Board of Health who voted against a mask mandate inside certain buildings.
The Attitude Era star claimed that Mick Foley is entitled to his opinion even if he is wrong. Kane concluded his remarks, wishing that they could all express their opinions like this everywhere and not just in wrestling:
“I think Mick is wrong, but nevertheless, he’s entitled to his opinion. I will defend his right to say that, even if I do think he’s wrong. And that’s the beauty of America. I wish that would kind of be all over the place, as opposed to just in wrestling.”
WWE has continued its relationship with the Trump administration in the meantime, with reports of Triple H visiting the capital more frequently in recent months. You can check out the Game’s latest collaboration video with the White House below:
