While speaking on MSNBC, WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura gave his thoughts on Hulk Hogan endorsing Donald Trump for United States president…

“As far as Hogan goes, it doesn’t surprise me because when I was in wrestling in the ’80s, I tried to unionize wrestling, and it was Hulk Hogan who cut my legs out from under me. Hulk Hogan went to Vince McMahon, ratted me out, and subsequently, later on, cost me my job.

So it doesn’t surprise me to see Hogan with the Republicans because Hogan is as anti-union as you can get. There still is not a union in professional wrestling. The reason I tried to do it. I was in an elevator and ran into Gene Upshaw, the great tackle guard from the Oakland Raiders. And big Gene raised his finger up and looked at me and says, ‘You guys, you boys, need to form a union.’ I tried to do it, and it was Hulk Hogan who ratted me out to Vince McMahon, and subsequently I was fired and lost my job.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
