Jesse Ventura’s animosity with Hulk Hogan dates back to their time together in WWE in the 1980s and WCW in the 1990s.
Ventura, a former WWE in-ring competitor and commentator, once tried to create a union for wrestlers without Vince McMahon knowing. He later found out that Hulk Hogan disclosed details of the secret meeting to the WWE Chairman.
Former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke about Ventura’s dislike of Hogan on his 83 Weeks podcast in October 2021. Reflecting on The Hulkster’s arrival in WCW in 1994, Bischoff said Ventura often took digs at the WWE legend:

“We’re starting to get decent morale, and Hogan comes in and now there’s some hope. And then you’ve got this guy just bad-mouthing everybody and everything, mostly because he hates Hogan. He was just a bad fit at the time.”
The WWE Hall of Famer did not believe Ventura was worth the $500,000 per year salary he received in WCW at the time. Bischoff also had an issue with the former WWE commentator after he fell asleep backstage during a WCW taping.
