Jesse Ventura Details Why Vince McMahon Was Successful ‘As Bad As He Was’

In an interview with the Bill Simmons podcast (via Wrestling Inc), Jesse Ventura explained why Vince McMahon was able to be successful even with the reputation that the former WWE owner had. He also talked about why he eventually went back to the WWE and had loyalty to Vince.

He said on Vince McMahon: “Vince was successful because as bad as he was, all the other promoters were worse. I’m serious. Vince was like the savior. I knew when I went to Vince that final time, I was gonna quit the business, this was it. I’m gonna do this last hoorah with Vince; if it fails, I’m done, if it succeeds, we’ll take it to wherever it goes and fortunately, we succeeded. Vince actually did me a great favor along the way and that’s why I had loyalty to him, and I’ll just leave it at that.”
