Jacobs points out that the Kane character was given a great platform right away, costing Undertaker the WWE Title at Hell in A Cell. Jacobs credits Undertaker for doing everything he could to ensure that the Kane character got over with the WWE Universe. He says that Mark Callaway is a terrific guy and they’re still friends to this day.
He also credits Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) for the role he played in developing the Kane character. It really hit him hard when Pringle passed away a few years ago, and he and Lawler agree that the passing of Pringle’s wife really affected him negatively.
Speaking about his current Mayoral race, Jacobs informs that he’s always been interested in politics from the time he was a kid. He’s had a great life travelling the world and now he wants to ensure that his children and grandchildren have the same opportunities that he had.
He doesn’t think that his wrestling career really helped or hindered his run significantly. He admits that there used to be a negative stigma surrounding the wrestling business but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. He points out that voters who weren’t wrestling fans didn’t really care about his career in the wrestling business, and anyone who was a wrestling fan thought it was the coolest thing in the world that they had a chance to vote for Kane to be their Mayor.
That sums up this week’s episode of Dinner With the King. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
