10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 8)
Find out why Big Show still cringes over his WCW run today...
Someone should give Glenn Jacobs one big pat on the back for surviving gimmicks like Isaac Yankem (an evil dentist) and the "Fake" Diesel (a Halloween costume version of Kevin Nash's character) during his early WWE days in the mid-'90s.
After playing madcap gimmicks and looking like a complete tool under both guises, Jacobs eventually found fame as The Undertaker's kayfabe brother Kane and is now running for Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. He deserves praise for that too, and for refusing to throw WWE's creative team under a nearby bus during his appearance on Jerry Lawler's "Dinner With The King" podcast. No, Jacobs blames somebody else for the Yankem torture.
Find out who in this week's article.
