Jesse Ventura Clears His Animosity Rumors With Hulk Hogan
Veteran Jesse Ventura and Hogan share a brief history from several years ago and were not fond of each other mainly due to ideological differences.
During a recent interview on WFAN, Jesse Ventura was asked if not working with Hulk Hogan was a condition for his return.
Well, no, but you gotta remember, okay, the Hogan thing with me, I don’t hate him. I don’t hate anybody. But you gotta understand something, where I come from. During my most formative years, I was under an influence that created, for lack of better terms, in many ways, a monster, and that was when I was a Navy Seal. I never talked about it, I don’t talk about it.
But we in that group, we live by a single premise, and this will answer your question, we don’t get mad. We get even. [Laughs] If you’re calling them in, your chances are, someone’s going to die. That’s just the way it is, and that’s the life I led for six years.”
