Former World Champion talks the biggest misconception about Vince McMahon

WWE legend Kane recently joined Busted Open Radio for a chat and discussed a variety of topics. Currently serving as mayor of Knox County, Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, talked about the biggest misconception people have about Vince McMahon.

Kane had nothing but praise for Mr. McMahon, and opened up on Vince being a businessman and doing what's best for his company.

"I think that people think Vince McMahon is this heartless person that takes advantage of everyone, uses people until they are all used up and then discards the husk of the human being that he has pulled all of the energy out of. That is frankly not the case at all.

"He is a business guy and has to make decisions based upon what he believes will lead to greater health of the company, whether we agree with it or not and in some cases I haven't, but he is making business decisions on that. But it's also not like some inhuman devil that just wants to take advantage of people, that is truly not the case."

Kane remained a WWE mainstay for years after his debut at Badd Blood 1997, and carved a Hall of Fame career for himself in the process. He won the World title on two separate occasions and competed in a long string of high-profile matches. Kane recently made a one-off appearance on WWE Monday Night RAW, where he was attacked by The Fiend. The WWE legend bagged the mayor's seat of Knox County, Tennessee last year in May.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
