Jim Cornette criticizes Glenn Jacobs over Trump support

Wrestling commentator Jim Cornette has publicly criticized WWE Hall of Famer Glenn Jacobs, known professionally as Kane, following Jacobs’ vocal support for Donald Trump. The dispute arose after Jacobs spoke at a Trump rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, where he praised the former president’s leadership and noted their shared status as WWE Hall of Fame members.

In a social media response on X, Cornette accused Jacobs of “selling his soul for political power” and used harsh language to condemn both the former wrestler and the former president. Cornette, a longtime critic of Trump, framed the endorsement as a betrayal of Jacobs’ former public image.

Jacobs, who previously served as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, continues to balance his professional wrestling legacy with political involvement. While the exchange has sparked significant discussion among wrestling fans, no direct response from Jacobs has been reported.
