The Brothers of Destruction are undoubtedly one of the most destructive duos in the history of wrestling. Both being built as kayfabe brothers, they ruled the tag team division for quite some time. It seems their influence transcended professional wrestling boundaries as the former President of the USA, Donald Trump, name-dropped them in his recent rally.

It happened at an event at the Iowa caucuses, where the formerly known Kane, aka Glenn Jacobs, was also present. He even delivered a speech before Trump came to the podium. It seems that the billionaire was ready to reciprocate the love received from Jacobs, as he not only applauded his physique but even his accolades in WWE. He later name-dropped The Undertaker

“He’s Knox County, Tennessee, do you know Glenn Jacobs? Goes by the name, goes by the name of …. Kane. Kane. Look at the size of this guy. "When I see these guys, some of them like The Undertaker right? And I see him and walks around the ring lifting a 300-pound guy over his shoulders like this. It may be acting... then he throws him into the seats, it's pretty great."

Trump would go on to applaud Kane and The Undertaker for their massive stature. Furthermore, he’d act jovial to compare their weight with his own. The 77-year-old would also go on to talk about how he got mesmerized seeing behemoth superstars perform at such a high level.

Jacobs last wrestled as Kane in 2021 as part of the Royal Rumble Match. On the other hand, The Undertaker had his retirement match at WrestleMania 36. He faced The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, in a “Cinematic Style” Boneyard Match and rode off into the sunset.

The Undertaker reveals a funny memory that Vince McMahon always likes to recall

The Undertaker had one of the most illustrious careers in WWE history. His stature became so tall that many observers began seeing him as synonymous with WrestleMania. After protecting his career for decades, The Deadman has finally started lifting the lid on his personal moments. In his Patreon-based ‘Six Feet Under’ podcast, he revealed how Vince McMahon likes to revisit his failed attempt to convince him to do his own version of ‘spinaroonie’.

“It comes up quite a bit. It burns his ass. Let me just say this, he’s ribbed me on so many occasions, and he’s got me really good, but he never got me to do that Spinaroonie."

On several occasions, the superstars have tried to encourage The Phenom to do the spinaroonie. Especially during the August 12, 2002 episode of Raw, where Taker tagged along with Goldust and Booker T. Even the likes of Triple H and The Rock joined in on the fun.

Taker recalled how it was the only carrot that he could hang before Vince. Mr. McMahon was someone who was habitually getting everything that he wanted. While he acknowledges the great lengths Vince went to, the Hall of Famer identified his resolve as something to give himself a pat on the back.
