Jacobs is now the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee.

“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 said.

The challenge follows the Democratic governor saying he could physically beat up people who disagree with him on political issues.
“I think I could kick most of their a**,” Walz exclaimed.
“I do think that,” he added.
“But I don’t know, if we’re going to fall into that place where we want to, okay, we challenge you to a, you know, a WWE fight here type of thing,” Walz continued.
"I don't think he's going to be calling me, but if he does, you will be the first to know," Jacobs said in an interview with Newsmax.

Fox News reports:
Walz better hope it is not a tag-team matchup, because Kane might recruit The Undertaker, who has a similar build to Jacobs. In fact, the two wrestlers, known at one time in WWE as the Brothers of Destruction, together implored voters to check President Donald Trump's name at the ballot box ahead of the election.
"All right everyone. November 5th – ElectionMania. The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane and The Undertaker or you can take Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista and Tim Walz. Choose wisely – the nation depends on it," The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Callaway, said in a TikTok video with both Trump and Jacobs beside him.
Trump's appearance with the wrestling greats came after Bautista made a video firing shots left and right at Trump as he expressed his support for Harris and Walz.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis offered to provide the host site for the charity wrestling match.
"Florida can serve as the neutral site host. We’ve got a lot of great spots and a lot of wrestling fans," DeSantis said.

"A lot of people down here would pay to see Tampon Tim get choke slammed by Kane," he added.

From The Post Millennial:
Human Events Host Jack Posobiec said he would donate $10,000 to see the match go through.
Founder of Outkick Clay Travis also offered to contribute a $10,000 donation to the charity match between Jacobs and Walz.
The comments from the Minnesota governor, who also ran on the Democratic ticket for Vice President alongside Kamala Harris, have been ripped up and down by Republicans, including President Donald Trump.
When asked about Walz's comments about kicking the "a**" of Trump supporters in the Oval Office, Trump responded, "Oh boy, he’d be in trouble."
"Well, he’s a loser. You know, I mean, the guy’s a loser. He lost an election, he played a part-, you know, usually a vice president doesn’t play a part, they say. I think Tim played a part. I think it was so bad that he hurt [Harris]."
