Jesse Ventura Discusses Hulk Hogan Feud

Jesse Ventura, reflecting on his long-standing animosity with Hulk Hogan, clarified during a recent appearance on WFAN that he does not hate Hogan but feels betrayed by him. Ventura's resentment stems from Hogan allegedly informing Vince McMahon about Ventura's efforts to unionize WWE wrestlers in 1986, which led to the initiative's failure and Ventura's firing. He characterized Hogan as an 'office stooge,' which he believes is the worst label in their era of wrestling. Despite the betrayal, Ventura acknowledged Hogan's financial success and the disparity in earnings among wrestlers, suggesting that a union would have benefited all performers, not just the top stars. Ventura expressed doubt about reconciling with Hogan, stating he feels owed an apology. His comments come as he returns to WWE as a commentator, while Hogan's absence raises questions about his current standing within the organization.
