Mayor Kane: Kamala Harris & Tim Walz Are No 'Dusty Rhodes' On The Mic


Former WWE Superstar Kane thinks U.S. Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz could benefit from a few 'promo' classes at the WWE Performance Center.

Kane (Glenn Jacobs) currently serves as the Republican Mayor of Knox County, TN. He's an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump's campaign, and was not impressed with what he saw at last week's Democratic National Convention. While the Republican convention featured speeches from luminaries such as Hulk Hogan, Linda McMahon and Dana White, Jacobs feels Harris and Walz were a far cry from iconic 'stick men' like Dusty Rhodes.

Harris/Walz are spitting out catch phrases faster than Dusty Rhodes with an open mic on a Saturday morning. Dusty's were entertaining and iconic. Their's, not so much.

Jacobs also noted that Harris and Walz have avoided another aspect where Rhodes made his money in by stating, "Dusty also did interviews."

President Kane? Glenn Jacobs Discusses Possibly Running for President

While there's at least three WWE Hall Of Famers not rooting for the Harris/Walz ticket in Jacobs, Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan the two do have two in their corner. Jesse Ventura, who like Walz was also the Governor of Minnesota, put his support behind Harris. Ventura has notoriously been against either major party in the past but explained in an interview that it was time to have a woman in the Oval Office.

The other legend backing the Harris/Walz campaign is Kevin Nash, who ran into Kane at SummerSlam. Nash, a noted Democrat, but made clear to Kane he had no problems with the 'Big Red Republican.' On a recent episode of The Kliq This Podcast, Nash echoed Kane's political aspirations before the aforementioned interview took place and according to Big Sexy, Kane cited how dirty of a business the political game was.
