Wrestler-turned-politician Glenn Jacobs — known also by his ring name, Kane — challenged Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) to a charity match on Thursday, responding to the latter&#8217;s claims that Republicans were intimidated by him and that he could &#8220;kick most of their ass.&#8221;
Walz made the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-walz-baffled-americans-dont-think-hes-masculine-i-could-kick-most-of-their-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assertions</a> during a discussion with fellow Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — for his new podcast — while complaining that Republicans had fixated on his masculinity during the 2024 presidential election cycle, and his assessment was that they criticized his mannerisms because they were really a little bit scared of him.
&#8220;How do you fight it?” Walz asked Newsom, adding, “I think I could kick most of their a**! I do think that … I know I can outrun them. I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing.&#8221;
Jacobs, now an influential Republican politician in Tennessee, responded to Walz&#8217;s bluster in an interview with The Daily Wire&#8217;s Brent Scher.

This morning I ran into <a href="https://twitter.com/GlennJacobsTN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GlennJacobsTN</a>, aka Kane, and asked him about Tim Walz saying he’d kick any MAGA voter’s ass. 
Here’s what he has to say: <a href="https://t.co/DsT8b7b8SN">pic.twitter.com/DsT8b7b8SN</a>

Jacobs later proposed an opportunity for Walz to make good on his threat — and even volunteered to get in the ring with him, for charity.
&#8220;All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let&#8217;s put our money where our mouth is&#8230;in a charity wrestling match. We&#8217;ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I&#8217;ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?&#8221; Jacobs asked, adding, &#8220;#TennesseeWalz #LetsDance.&#8221;

&#8220;Everyone is always asking me if I have one last match left. I think I have found my final victim, er, I mean opponent,&#8221; Jacobs, posting as his old wrestling persona Kane, said.

The Federalist&#8217;s Sean Davis predicted that the challenge would end in disappointment, however: &#8220;Walz is going to run from this just like he ran away [from] the military to avoid being deployed.&#8221;
