‘I’ll Never Get a Chance With Arnold Schwarzenegger’: WWE Legend, Who Accused Hulk Hogan of Gaslighting, Once Thoroughly Detailed His Ugly Fallout With Vince McMahon

Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has been closely associated with WWE for a long time. Over the years, he has shown up at many WWE shows and interviews and even is a part of a 2k game.

However, Arnie’s popularity once cost Vince McMahon a major WWE star and official. Mr. McMahon was furious with this WWE legend for his actions.

A few years ago, Jesse Ventura appeared in an interview shared by Title Match Wrestling. In the interview, he recalled the time he left WWE for an opportunity to share the big screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Ventura said, “Right before WrestleMania 2 and right before I did Predator I stood up in the dressing room and tried to unionize wrestling. There was nobody from the office there when I did it. I said, ‘Boys now is our chance. All the publicity has gone out on WrestleMania 2, all we have to do is refuse to wrestle and go public and say we want federal, because federal law, we want union representation to come in’.”

Ventura was in Las Vegas at the time and met NFL legend Gene Upshaw, who advised the WWE legend to make a union. He told the WWE stars that if they went ahead, the WCW wrestlers would join them in this suit, and the wrestling union could grow and be established. However, Ventura got a call from Vince McMahon when he found out about the union. 

The WWE legend recalled, “Vince, he came with an eyelash of firing me. The only reason that saved me, the only reason I did it (because) I had to quit Vince to do Predator. I think Vince wasn’t letting me do it. Well, I quit, I told well then, and then I quit. I said I can always come back to wrestling. I’ll never get a chance to co-star with Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

Back in the day, things weren’t the same as today. Mr. McMahon rarely allowed his superstars to be a part of a movie. Surprisingly, Ventura claims Hulk Hogan who was a great friend of his told Mr. McMahon about the union. Moreover, McMahon admitted about Hogan telling him, but the Hulkster denies the fact.

The WWE Hall of Famer said, “I went off ten weeks to do Predator. Saturday Night Main Event got renewed for a second season, but NBC thought there would be Jesse Ventura. There wasn’t Jesse Ventura, there was Bobby Heenan. The heat came down from NBC, ‘We brought this program with Jesse Ventura. Where the hell is he?’ Then Vince came back. Now the ball is in my court. ”

Ventura had signed another movie with The Governator i.e. The Running Man. When he came back after filming, he said ‘no’ to Mr. McMahon for a WWE return.
