According to various media outlets, WWE legend Glenn "Kane" Jacobs has won the GOP primary nomination to run for Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. It should be stressed that he is NOT the Mayor yet, as he still has to run against Linda Haney (representing the Democratic party) in the general election.

More information and confirmation about the results can be found at KnoxNews.com, WBIR.com, and WATE.com.

With all precincts reporting, Glenn Jacobs has won the GOP nomination for Knox County mayor. Still a few provisional ballots, so results won't be official until next week. #WATE RESULTS: https://t.co/JTfmNbcpFR
