Jesse Ventura Says Vince McMahon Fired Him After Hulk Hogan Ratted Him Out For Trying To Start A Wrestler’s Union

I don't understand why million-dollar earners would need a union in the first place. The same goes for all professional sports, as well as actors, musicians, etc.

[Sirius Lee]

“Wrestler’s union”: What a dumbass.

[montag813]

F-ing commie

Jesse doesn’t have time to bleed. Get him a feminine hygiene device.

“I don’t understand why million-dollar earners would need a union in the first place”

I’ll start off by stating I’m no fan of unions by any stretch but to try to answer your question, not all wrestlers are million dollar earners just like not all nfl players are.

We all know wrestling is entertainment and not really a competition but to do the things they do requires top level athleticism, which makes for a increased chance of injury.

A union could provide help in that circumstance.

Jesse has a few screws loose.

“We all know wrestling is entertainment and not really a competition...”

I’m go na piss off all the schmeat riding pro sports fans but I don’t give a rats @$$. Neither is NFL really a competition. It’s just a bunch of steroid abusing faggs playing grab ass for cash.

Jesse Ventura is a worthless so and so who deserted his country and moved to Mexico while suing a dead war hero’s widow. He needs to go back to Mexico and STFU!

[o-n-money]

Old story. Ventura wanted medical coverage for the wrestlers. McMahon refused.

[wiseprince]

And then the company became a billion dollar company and produced millionaire stars. Sounds like Vince made a sound decision.

[Tipllub]

Yes.. it was actually safer when they pretended wrestling was real... it was regulated by the athletic commission, had a ringside doctor and so forth...

[Glad2bnuts]

Jesse is a poser. He was never a Navy Seal. In fact, there were no Navy Seals when he was in service.

[Vaquero]

Good. And let them buy there own folding chairs

[Glad2bnuts]

Truth what you wrote. I don’t know what drugs they are testing for in the NFL, but those players are superhumans if they are toting 4% body fat, have stamina, are healthy, and look like they use Steroids. HGH, Steroids, taking something that masks it or the league is only worried if the players are using Coke, speed or smack.

[TauntedTiger]

Well now we know why Ventura came out for Harris—just another way of trying to get back at Hogan.

[Glad2bnuts]

Nice reply, I remember when he fled the US for Mexico. GO BACK.

[markman46]

jesse was a crap Governor too..

[mass55th]

Ventura is an asshat. He sued Navy SEAL Kris Kyle’s widow for damages, claiming that Kyle had made false statements about him in his biography, despite the fact that Kyle never even mentioned Ventura’s name when describing the incident in the book. A jury initially awarded Ventura a large monetary sum, but Kyle’s estate appealed, and the monetary award was thrown out by the 8th Circuit Court.

"Wrestler’s union”: What a dumbass."

Should be part of the Screen Actor's Guild since it's all staged.

[Retrofitted]

As I recall, the poor-man's-Superstar-Billy-Graham quit the WWF/E in the 90s because of blood clots in his lungs from his time as a Navy Seal. He also quit because he wasn't paid for the Sega Genesis game featuring his likeness. He also quit because he didn't collect royalties from the WWF event video tapes.

Did I leave anything out, wrestling fans? lol
