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

The flight attendant won't say a word to you. They know exactly what you're doing. Interesting. But the point is, here's how bad it was. The month that I had the pulmonary emboli blood clots, do you know how many days that month I flew? 28.

You're talking 30 days in a month and 28 of them when I was on an airplane. Let's get back to, that's what I wanted the union for. I wanted the union. And for Hogan to then make a statement, well, I didn't want to get paid like everybody else. He makes it sound like unionizing is socialism and communism. Does Pat Mahomes make the same money as everybody else in the NFL? Of course not.

He makes way more. And they have a union. Does LeBron James make more than everybody in the NBA? Yes, of course he does. And they have a union. Hogan would have still made more. That's a lame excuse. You want to know how bad it was? It came out in my court case. My court case against Vince, we have the numbers from WrestleMania 3, right? The big one. Pontiac Silverdome. Hogan against Andre.

And then the greatest match that I ever saw, Ricky Steamboat against Macho. the greatest match I'd ever broadcast or ever seen, that match. But that aside, We got the numbers in my court case. Hulk Hogan made more that night than all of the rest of us combined, including Andre.
