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

And so during the deposition, I can't say anything. I'm sitting there and my attorney asked Vince, he said, Mr. McMahon, he said, has there ever been a union in wrestling? And Vince said, no. And my attorney said, has anyone ever tried to form a union in wrestling? And Vince thought a moment and he said, yeah. He said, I think Jesse Ventura might've spouted his mouth.
