Is There Smackdown Coming to Tim Waltz?


Kane vs. Waltz | Grok

Before you go spouting off at the mouth about how much of a tough guy you are and how you'd do in a fight, you should be cautious that there isn't a 7 foot, 325-pound Big Red Machine standing in the way. 

After he apparently received the Democratic memo to be more masculine the former Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Waltz claimed that he could “kick most Trump supporters’ asses". That boast led to WWE legend Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, and who is now the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, to challenge him to a charity wrestling match.

Jacobs went on X after hearing Waltz's comments and issued the challenge. Jacobs wrote “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 has become a very popular mayor in Knox County, and he is an adamant Trump supporter. Kane then went on to say "Everyone is always asking me if I have one last match left. I think I have found my final victim, er, I mean opponent." 

Since that initial challenge Governor Ron DeSantis has offered for his state to host the would-be charity bout. Jacobs has also said he has a potential $50,000 in pledges and corporate title sponsorship in a further post via X. He also went on Outkick and said, "I'll do anything to get him in the ring." 

To further entice the would-be tough guy Governor Jacobs said he is open to stipulations and asked if he should compete with one hand tied behind his back or even blindfolded. 

Unfortunately, not much has been heard from the Waltz side of things. It's unlikely the match would take place but for all of Kane's fans we are hoping he gets back into the ring to choke slam one more fake tough guy.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
