Jesse Ventura

Well, when I got inducted into the Hall of Fame... They asked me what I felt my biggest contribution was to pro wrestling. And I think I shocked everyone. And I know I irritated Vince and Linda. But I said, I believe my biggest contribution to wrestling was the fact that I was the first wrestler in history who made Vince McMahon deal with a manager or an agent. Is that true? Yes. Hogan never did.

Hogan dealt with Vince. It's him and Vince. Hogan had a Hollywood agent. I was the first one. And that resulted because of Predator. Right. Which he didn't want you to do. He told me I couldn't do it. So I quit. And I went and did Predator. And while I was doing Predator, Arnold said, In September, I'm going to do the running man. There's a part you're perfect for. Would you like to do it?

And I said, hell yeah. And so I negotiated running man first. Then I went back to Vince. And you know why that was? That gives you FU money in your pocket. Right. Where if he doesn't do what I'm satisfied with, I tell him flake off. I'm doing the running man in the fall. I'm okay. I got another major movie with Arnold that's going to come up in the fall.

That ain't what it's about with him. With people like him and power people with money like that, it's control. It ain't got nothing to do with doing deals and doing the right thing and promoting the correct way. It's all about control. I was the horse that got out of the corral. I wouldn't let him market me. That's the final straw. I was going to do my own video game.

And Vince said, you can't do it. I said, I own my rights. I'm registered with the government. Jesse, the body Ventura, I own the copyright with the government. How can you tell me I can't do it? And that was the final straw. That's when he fired me. And then I think he, because I never did get the video game. So I think some hanky-pank went on there, too. Oh, no. I don't know. I have no evidence.

I never signed the contract.

I never signed the contract.

I never signed the contract.

Well, I sued them over videotape royalties. And not that he had to pay me, but all the time that I was working for Vince, I would ask him, Vince, how come everything I do in Hollywood, when they replay it, I get royalties and everything I do for you, I get nothing. I said, how does that work? It was just he and I. I'd be there with him alone. I'd say, tell me how that works.
