Jesse Ventura has always told it like it is and did it his way in the ring and in politics.

In the ring, Ventura had classic feuds with former WWE Champion Bob Backlund. He also was the man in the ring with Adrian Adonis, as he and “The Body” made up The East-West Connection.

On the microphone as a commentator in wrestling, he was Charles Barkley before he took over “Inside The NBA” with Ernie Johnson, Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith and Shaquille O’Neal on TNT!

 He kicked butt working alongside Gorilla Monsoon and Vince McMahon as a broadcaster.

Think I’m lying? See for yourself!

As a politician, or a statesman as he calls himself, he was the mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis before becoming the governor of Minneapolis in 1998.

Post political career, Ventura has been a political watchdog. In his book, DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs in Government, Ventura states that ‘both parties are street gangs warring with each other for power over the country and the American people.’

On Scoop B Radio Overtime, Ventura addressed regulation in how much time politicians should spend in office. “Well you know you look at it this way, we have term limits on the President,” Ventura told me.

“You know the President can only serve two four year terms that’s it, you know but then again it comes back to us. When you strip everything away from it all it comes back to us. We can implement term limits, vote him out of office.”

Ventura continued:

“We have the ability to do that so ultimately all problems in this country could be resolved by the people but the problem is the people aren’t vigilant, and the people aren’t paying attention, and also I found this out you know people tell you that they wanna hear the truth and all that and this and that I don’t believe they really do and I’ll tell you why. I don’t think people like the truth because many times the truth takes them out of their comfort zone, and people do not like to be taken out of their comfort zone and the truth can do that, when you learn the truth like a lot of the things our country does internationally, then you learn about it we don’t look so good but you notice that we never come back, that’s one thing I notice about this country, we never admit to a mistake.”

Some would argue that Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels had one of the biggest feuds in WWE history.

We’ve got a much quieter one for you: Hulk Hogan and Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts. Back in the 80s/early 90s, on Roberts’ ‘The Snake Pit’ show, he actually DDT’ed Hogan!

Yup! Roberts invited Hogan to his Snake Pit segment and while on the segment, Hogan compared his arm size, or his ‘pythons,’ to Roberts’ actual pythons aka his pet snake Damien.

Roberts used his finishing move, the DDT, on Hogan. “Yeah, I split his skull,” Roberts told me on Scoop B Radio Overtime.

After the DDT, it is believed that WWE owner, Vince McMahon heard fans cheering for Roberts instead of Hogan.

“It cost me a lot of money. The fans were chanting ‘DDT, DDT’ and they did not want the marketing dollars split with me and Hogan. They wanted to keep it all focused on Hogan and that’s the way the business is.”

With all of the hooplah, the footage of Roberts DDT’ing Hogan and the planned feud, intended to tour nationwide, was canceled.

One of the biggest feuds that never got its full elasticity would be the on between Hulk Hogan and Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts. With it being Wrestlemania Week all, it is only fair to dig back into the wrestling archives. Did you know that on Roberts’ interview segment called, ‘The Snake Pit’ he actually DDT’ed Hogan?

Many didn’t. Some have heard by urban legend.

Here’s how it went down:

Roberts invited Hogan to his Snake Pit segment. On the segment, Hogan compared his arm size, or his ‘pythons,’ to Roberts’ actual pythons aka his pet snake Damien. Roberts used his finishing move, the DDT, on Hogan.

“Yeah, I split his skull,” Roberts told me on Scoop B Radio Overtime.

It is said that WWF owner Vince McMahon stood by the curtain after Roberts planned assault with Roberts to gauge the reaction of the fans. Instead of the fans cheering for Hogan, as planned, the fans supported Roberts.

“It cost me a lot of money,” said Roberts. “The fans were chanting ‘DDT, DDT’ and they did not want the marketing dollars split with me and Hogan. They wanted to keep it all focused on Hogan and that’s the way the business is.”

Because of this reaction, the footage of Roberts DDT’ing Hogan and the planned feud, intended to tour nationwide, was canceled.
