Jesse Ventura Says That Jim Ross Was Jealous Of Him

Jesse Ventura was recently interviewed on Busted Open Nation to promote his new book, talk about his presidential hopes, Donald Trump, and how Good Ol’ JR was super mega jealous of him in WCW:

The real story was, when [WCW] brought me in they paid me big money because I made the jump from the WWF. A lot of people couldn’t handle the money they were paying me to just be an announcer, Bill Watts included, who was the head booker. I think Jim Ross was very jealous because he wouldn’t work with me. I would toss him lines and he wouldn’t respond to them, and he even admitted that he didn’t do the best job he could when he worked with me in WCW. I think Jim was jealous of the money I was getting which wasn’t my fault. He shouldn’t have blamed me for it. There never was the chemistry there with Jim Ross that I had with Vince or Gorilla.
