During a recent appearance on “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Jesse Ventura discussed his departure from WWE (WWF) in 1990 and eventual exit from WCW in 1994.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what led to his WWE exit: “I was uncontrollable. Number one, I tried to unionize. Number two, I wouldn’t allow them to market me without negotiating it. That’s what ultimately got me thrown out of the WWF/WWE.”
On why he left WCW: “Eric Bischoff then got the head job in WCW, and then behind my back, he went out and got Hogan … they gave Hogan total artistic control. He came in [and] got me immediately fired.”
A new episode of WWE Speed is now online, with Michin advancing to the semifinals of the tournament.
Michin defeated Katana Chance in the first round and will face either Zelina Vega or Natalya in the semifinals.
The winner will challenge Candice LeRae for the WWE Women’s Speed Title.
