Jesse Ventura Shoots on Hogan

Jesse “The Body” Ventura didn’t have a mic, wasn’t in a ring or cutting a promo, so his recent words about Hulk Hogan’s recent travails technically fail to qualify as a shoot. Few other terms could describe with the former wrestler, governor and conspiracy theorist had to say:

Maybe the people are seeing the real Hulk Hogan. Let’s all remember we play parts in wrestling and may be nothing like we are in real life. Maybe we are seeing what Hulk Hogan is in real life. I am only speculating on that so bear that in mind. We would always laugh when he would tell the little kids to say their prayers and eat their vitamins, and we would always laugh and say, ‘oral or injectables?’ What kind of vitamins are we talking here? I remember when Hogan would always deny that he used steroids and I would always laugh.

Ventura made the comments on the Busted Open radio show on Sirius, according to Wrestling News Post, which also provided an excerpt of the interview.

While Hogan has amassed a large contingent of supporters in the face of recent controversies, detractors still remain.
