Glenn “Kane” Jacobs and Tom Prichard are opening a wrestling school in Knoxville, TN. Jacobs won’t be involved in the day-to-day operations of the school but is an investor. He spoke at a recent open house for the Academy as well.
The Jacobs-Prichard Wrestling Academy plans to hold their first class on January 7th.
“Glenn is totally focused on his duties as County Mayor, and he wants everyone to know that,” reads a Facebook post for the Academy. “He (has) chosen a top-notch team for the day-in-day-out activities of the school, and he will be there only during windows of time that aren’t dedicated to his job as mayor.”

“This whole thing really started because Tom was traveling around the country training people and thought, ‘Why not just do it here?'” Jacobs said at a recent open house for the Academy. “It’s like going to Harvard. Where would you rather go? If you are going to learn something, you want to learn from the best.”
Jacobs also spoke to the students about what students can expect from the Academy.
“No one can guarantee you’re going to be successful, but we want you to be successful,” Jacobs said. “It doesn’t do us any good if we run a bunch of guys through. We want people who are serious and are going to put in the work to be successful.”
