Hall Of Famer Praises Lack Of Ego’s in Modern WWE

Jesse Ventura has heaped praise on Triple H and Nick Khan.

On December 14th, WWE brought back Saturday Night’s Main Event, and with the special came the return of Jesse Ventura.

The Hall of Famer’s relationship with the company and more specifically Vince McMahon hasn’t always been a good one, but that has changed significantly in 2024.

Ventura has signed a WWE Legends deal and called the main event event between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Jesse Ventura Thinks WWE Is Doing Something Special

Writing on his Die First Then Quit Substack, Ventura looked back on his return to the company. The veteran said he was honoured to be involved in Saturday Night’s Main Event before breaking down how WWE has changed for the better.

“I made my return to Saturday Night’s Main Event this past weekend and what an experience it was. First of all it was truly an honor to come back home to the WWE. First off, I have to thank my son, Tyrel Ventura, for putting the wheels in motion last summer. It’s been such an incredible feeling to return to the place where my career essentially began or, more accurately, really took off from.

“A few thoughts on the new regime at the WWE. The biggest thing I noticed was how different the energy and vibe is backstage. You don’t feel a battle of ego’s like you often did back in my day.

From the executive level to the locker room level you instead feel a very strong sense of teamwork and creativity. Everyone is running in the same direction. Fueled by a desire to see everyone succeed, not just themselves. I think this speaks volumes about the leadership of Paul “HHH” Levesque.

“I think Paul, Nick Khan, and the team at WWE are creating a truly incredible and unique environment unlike any I have seen before in the world of wrestling. I loved being backstage and sharing stories, advice, and laughs with some of the this generations new talent.”

Speaking elsewhere, Jesse Ventura claimed he doesn’t hate Hulk Hogan despite several years of Bad Blood between the pair. The comments came after he claimed Hogan got him fired from WCW in 1994.

The next edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event will take place on January 25th, and Ventura is again expected to be involved.
