The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Aggro Lions, the Sleeper-ish Hawks, Million-Dollar Picks, and Jesse Ventura on His Surprise WWE Return

Yeah. The graphics, everything? Yes. The wrestlers are not coming down that ramp. They're not coming with all the lights and spectacular. They're coming in through the crowd. Wow. Like the old days. That's why they brought me back.

Wow, you should be back anyway. We're going back in a time capsule, only it's going to be four times a year.

Hell has frozen over. Why? because I never dreamed I would be back in the WWE, now WWF, until hell froze over. I had a friend, Glenn Frey, of the Eagles. And I remember when the Eagles broke up, they thought, oh, it's over. We'll never hear another Eagles song. The differences are too much. They'll never be able to mend fences. And lo and behold, Glenn got together with Don Henley.

And away they go. They came back and they cut that phenomenal album when hell freezes over. And I kind of feel that way that hell has frozen over for me because I never believed in my wildest dreams I would be back doing wrestling again.

Well, because for me, it's a full circle of my career. I can't go back in the United States Navy where I spent my first six years after I graduated from high school. I was in the Navy, United States Navy for six years. I can't do that because there's age limits. My friend Rudy Bosch stayed as long as you could. He had 44 years in when they threw Rudy out.

But anyway, that aside, but this this is ironic because it means my career has gone full circle. Right. Because and here's the part that I don't understand. They couldn't control me before. Why do they believe they can now? Oh, I like this.

I was thrown out. I was uncontrollable. Jesse, the body Ventura. Number one, I tried to unionize. Right. 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. Then I went to WCW. Here's the behind the scenes story. I went to WCW. They went into turmoil. The guy who hired me got fired. They brought in Bill Watts.
