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

I'm very excited about it. I mean, well, I don't discuss finances, but it's acceptable. And I'll be doing four a year.

I'm back. And for me, it's concluding a career that probably never should have finished. Right. And maybe now there'll be closure. Yeah. Jesse can broadcast till he dies and then they can have my WWE funeral.

Wrestling changed then from becoming... a live spectator sport drawing the money. Territorial live. The big money then became television. Like it is in all sports. I remember when I broadcast football for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I did two years of Buccaneer football down in Tampa. And I remember that Hugh Culverhouse paid off. He was the owner of the Bucs.

He paid all his bills, including all the players, everything with his TV contract. So that people in the seats, that was all his profit. All the people that sold out Tampa Stadium every week to see the Bucs play, that was pure Hughes money. Because the TV contract paid for all the rest.

We're still part of the two-party dictatorship. I like to steal that term from my friend Ralph Nader. Ralph used that, the two-party dictatorship, because that's what it is. It's a two-party dictatorship. The only problem, you want to know where I'm at? It's simple. It's real simple. I took an oath over 50 years ago. And I took this oath before I married my wife.

Well, I'd like to proudly say, name me any other couple in wrestling who can now say they're going to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Well, but I took this oath before I took an oath to her. And I honor my oaths. Obviously to her for 50 years now. And the oath I took before that was the oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. I took an oath to that Constitution.
