In March 2017, Jacobs announced that he was running for the mayoral seat of Knox county, Tennessee as a Republican. He won the primary election on May 1, 2018, and on August 2, went on to win the general election. Jacobs was born in the Spanish town of Torrejón de Ardoz to a United States Air Force family that was stationed in Spain at the time of his birth. In the ring, Jacobs was first known as Angus King when he debuted in the St. Louis, Missouri area with the CSWA in 1992 which was owned and run by Jacobs’ childhood friend Mark Morton. Jacobs later moved south and began wrestling as Doomsday, also appearing as the Christmas Creature in the United States Wrestling Association and as Unabomb in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. In 1993, Jacobs lost his only match for World Championship Wrestling to Sting.
In 1994 and 1995 Jacobs also wrestled in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico feuding with Invader #1. In August 1995, Jacobs lost to World Wrestling Federation wrestler The Undertaker at an SMW show. He wrestled intermittently as Unaomb through August. Jacobs made his first television appearance with the company as Isaac Yankem, DDS, Jerry Lawler’s private dentist, in a vignette on the June 26, 1995 episode of Raw. The last title Kane won was the 247 Championship on September 16, 2019, the only title won under his real name.
