Bet you wouldn’t have guessed Esquire magazine. In the March 2020 edition, an article entitled “Fame in the Time of Two Americas” queries Jacobs transition from public life with the WWE to public life as Knox County Mayor. Mayor Jacobs credits his wife, Crystal, with sound advice when dealing with the public. She reminded him that it’s exciting for folks to meet him and he realized, “It’s not about me—it’s about them.”
