WWE Responds to Jesse Ventura's Negative Comments

Former wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura criticized professional wrestling the other day, stating that there needs to be more protection for the wrestlers:

"There's still no unions. They still call them independent contractors. That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard,'' Ventura said. "They're told when they'll wrestle. .... How is that an independent contractor? An independent contractor is like a plumber. ... These wrestlers aren't working for themselves. It's a scam.''

In remarks reported by our colleague, Daniela Altimari, WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman said Ventura was speaking as a way to bring attention to "Conspiracy Theory,'' which is his new television show.

"We find it highly hypocritical that Jesse had no problem coming on Monday Night RAW last week to promote his new project or was happy to be paid all those years by the WWE as a performer,'' Zimmerman said by email. "He is just looking to garner additional press for his fledging show, appropriately entitled "Conspiracy Theory."
