[1990-03-17-WWF-Superstars] Jesse Ventura picks a winner

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Jesse Ventura, who is still in great shape despite Vince's jokes, predicts a Hogan win while decked out in a Hulk Rules shirt that he tears apart.

Thank God this rare moment of posterity has been preserved: Jesse acting like a full-fledged Hulkamaniac. I laughed at Jesse taking offense at Vince's "apology" to Hogan and scuffling with him.

Weird to hear Jesse predict the Hogan win and he did seem sympathetic to Hogan while calling the WM match.

I also loved Ventura's snorting/breathing straight out of the Hogan promos.

Ventura dressed up in Hogan gear. He must have had to restrain himself from making too much fun of Hogan.

[Cox]

Wonder if people in the WWF forgot this existed? You'd have figured they would have found a way to use this at some point to make fun of Ventura.

[garretta]

Now the world has flipped. Jesse the Body a Hulkamaniac, even for fifteen seconds? The WWF Is officially and completely backwards.

 

Seriously, this segment makes more sense than any other promoting this match so far, and when you have to rely on Jesse Ventura to make sense of your main event, you're in big trouble.

Stoked to see Jesse shirtless in 1990. Next level heeling by siding with the true heel here, and simultaneously making fun of him.

Vince McMahon introduces the show and Jesse Ventura is wearing a Hulk Hogan vest, bandana and doing Hogan poses! He tears off his vest a la the Hulkster and says that the Hulk Hogan is going to win at Wrestlemania. Vince proceeds to apologise to Hogan for the impression!
