#2 Kane (WWE legend, former WWE Champion)

One of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, Kane decided to give back to the pro wrestling business by opening own his wrestling school, The Jacobs - Prichard Wrestling Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Kane teamed up with former pro wrestler, Tom Prichard to launch the school in 2018. While "The Big Red Machine" is mostly busy with his activities as the Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, and sometimes as a performer in WWE, Prichard handles the duty of the head instructor of the academy.

The academy also joined hands with a wrestling promotion called Bandits Wrestling, where the students perform at the shows held by the promotion. In an interview in early 2019, Jacobs explained why he chose to open the school.

"For me, at this point this business has been very good to me. Sometimes I worry about the pipeline of talent, and anything I can do to help people get into it the right way, because a lot of people aren't going to be taking the right path, so anything that I can do to help people do it the right way I think it is beneficial to all of us, which I believe that is the reason why," said Kane.

Jacobs also wanted to provide provide Prichard with a fixed working space, as he used to travel across the country to train students. A veteran of the business, Prichard has trained WWE legends like Randy Orton, The Rock, and Kurt Angle.
