A WWE star who made his name playing "a monstrous abomination" in the ring has been elected mayor in Tennessee.
Glenn Jacobs who wrestling fans will know better as Kane, won two‑thirds of the vote in Knox County, beating Democrat Linda Haney.
The 51‑year‑old Republican ran on issues like keeping taxes low, improved infrastructure and "transparency".
He is the second WWE star to win public office in the US, following in Jesse Ventura’s footsteps.
Ventura was elected mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, in 1990, going on to be elected state governor in 1998.
