Former wrestler Glenn Jacobs, better known as Kane, has issued a challenge to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for a charity wrestling match. This came in response to Walz’s recent comments claiming he could “kick most” Republicans’ behinds. The exchange started during a podcast discussion between Walz and California Governor Gavin Newsom, where Walz expressed frustration over Republican critiques of his masculinity during the 2024 election cycle.
In a light-hearted yet bold move, Jacobs proposed the charity match as a way for Walz to back up his claims. He tweeted, “All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match. We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I’ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?” Jacobs’s challenge was met with enthusiasm from various social media users, including radio host Dana Loesch, who offered to referee the match.
The idea gained momentum as other public figures chimed in. VA Secretary Doug Collins expressed excitement about attending, while some, like Rep. Nick Langworthy, humorously remarked about the potential beneficiaries of the charity, suggesting a light-hearted jab at the Minnesota Boys Tampon Fund.
Despite the playful banter, some observers, like The Federalist’s Sean Davis, doubted Walz would accept the challenge, recalling past criticisms of the governor’s military service. As of now, it remains unclear if Walz will respond to Jacobs’s offer. The charity match could be an interesting spectacle, blending politics and entertainment for a good cause.
