In a vote to determine whether or not people would have to wear masks inside certain buildings in order to uphold hygiene standards in the battle against COVID-19, Mayor of Knox County Tennessee Glenn Jacobs (aka Kane from WWE) was the only one who voted no.
BREAKING: Knox County Board of Health votes 7-1 to mandate a mask ordinance for anyone inside certain buildings.
Mayor Jacobs is the only nay.
Board will re-evaluate the order at its next meeting.

Twitter netizens began to stir awake, pointing out that Jacobs, as Kane, wore a mask for a big chunk of his wrestling career and finding the disconnect hilarious. Some of them were quick to react, responding to the initial tweet with gifs, photos, and anecdotes from the mayor’s former career.
