For many years, Glenn "Kane" Jacobs dominated the wrestling ring, but it’s been quite some time since the iconic demon character last competed. During an appearance on Bust Open Radio, Jacobs was asked if there would ever be a final farewell match in the ring. While some fans might find the idea exciting, the WWE Hall of Fame inductee hinted that a definitive send-off might not be in the cards for him.
Laughing, Jacobs remarked, “I don’t know about that, man. We were just talking about athleticism and keeping up with today’s fast pace. I might not be able to keep up with these guys anymore.”
Kane’s most recent in-ring appearance was at the 2021 Royal Rumble match, where he had a brief but memorable showing, ultimately won by his longtime rival Edge. Although some fans hope to see Kane return for another bout, many believe the Big Red Machine’s wrestling days are behind him.
Outside the wrestling world, Jacobs has taken on the role of mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Although he identifies as a libertarian, he remains a member of the Republican Party. Given his political commitments, a comeback to wrestling rings seems increasingly unlikely.
Kane’s wrestling career is one many aspire to, having held titles including WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW World Champion. While a grand farewell match may never happen, the Big Red Machine’s legacy will endure in WWE history.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans as it signals the likely end of an era with one of the sport’s most legendary figures stepping away for good. Kane’s transition from wrestling icon to political leader shows the diverse paths wrestlers can take, reflecting both the evolution of the sport and its stars.
