In a recent episode of his popular "ARN" podcast, the illustrious All Elite Wrestling (AEW) figure Arn Anderson shared his insights on some of the best talents that emerged from Smokey Mountain Wrestling. Renowned as a core member of the iconic Four Horseman faction, Anderson had no hesitation in pointing out a standout talent when reflecting upon his storied career.

"Glenn [Jacobs] embodied Kane as much as Kane represented Glenn," Anderson began, his voice carrying the weight of years of wrestling experience. "Given Glenn's towering stature and undeniable athleticism, it's impossible not to be impressed.

His history with basketball clearly contributed to his agility in the ring. Built with muscle and strength, Glenn's presence was undoubtedly amplified by his impeccable physique. Moreover, when he made his debut in WWF, the Kane character, complete with that haunting mask and attire, was perhaps one of the most menacing and visually striking characters I'd ever seen."

He continued, "It's only fitting to draw parallels between him and The Undertaker, not only in terms of their enthralling storyline but also in their professional acumen, skill set, and sheer impact in the wrestling world.

Considering Glenn's height, almost brushing the seven-foot mark, his emergence was nothing short of a mega-event in the wrestling panorama." Before making waves in WWE, Glenn Jacobs had a brief stint in Smokey Mountain Wrestling in 1995.

However, his career took an unprecedented turn in 1997 when he introduced the world to Kane, playing a pivotal role in The Undertaker's bout against Shawn Michaels in the groundbreaking Hell in a Cell match at Badd Blood: In Your House pay-per-view.

Glenn's accomplishments aren't limited to the squared circle. Over his tenure with WWE, he clinched multiple championships, including the coveted WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. His achievements extend beyond wrestling too, as evidenced by his position as the Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, a role he's embraced since 2018.

To cap off his illustrious journey, Glenn "Kane" Jacobs was fittingly honored with an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
