We reported last night, WWE Hall of Famer Glenn "Kane" Jacobs won the Republican primary in his re-election bid as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. 

Jacobs has since issued a statement on his victory:

“Tonight was a victory for our Knox County conservative values. I can not express my gratitude to everyone who has shown me support over the past months! It is my honor to serve as your Mayor.”

“Now more than ever, we must stand strong to defend our conservative values, and as your Mayor, that’s exactly what I will do. I’m humbled by your support and thank each of you for entrusting me to be your Republican nominee, and together, we will win in August to ensure Knox County remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
