Jesse Ventura

Well, I'll tell you this. Vince was successful because as bad as he was, all the other promoters were worse. No, I'm serious. No, I believe you. I'm laughing because you're right. Vince was like the savior. Yeah. I knew when I went to Vince that final time, I was going to quit the business. This was it. I'm going to do this last hurrah with Vince. If it fails, I'm done.

If it succeeds, we'll take it to wherever it goes. And fortunately, we succeeded. I was in pretty much, I knew I was going to do it well before I did it because there's another story behind that, but I won't go into it today. But it's a long one. But Vince actually did me a great favor. Along the way. And that's why I had loyalty to him. Okay. And I'll just leave it at that.

I was with Saito then, Mr. Torture. Yeah. And we were, of course, the Far East-West connection. And me and Torch were wrestling tag team then in the AWA, and Vince was just starting to make his big move. And they ran lacrosse Wisconsin. And we went down there and we did an angle for a cage match, right? Yeah. And so three weeks later, we got the payoff. It was okay.

Three weeks later, we came back to lacrosse, me and Saito, for the cage match. And Vern and Greg were on their yearly Aspen vacation. The Ganesh. Yeah. Where they go up to Aspen and ski and have fun. That's what they were doing then when we had the rematch in lacrosse and it was in the cage and the house jumped, I think, $20,000 to $25,000 in business. And I got my paycheck and I got less money.

And this was at a time when Hogan had just jumped. And the house went up, and I got paid less. And Ganyas were on their vacation. Well, I knew who was paying for the vacation. We were. And so I came up to Wally Carbo, and I said, Wally, what the hell is this? I said, the house jumps $25,000, and I get less money? I said, well, the next time, I hope nobody's there. I'll get more money.
