Donald Trump and Vince McMahon - Mark A. Wallenfang/Getty Images Jesse "The Body" Ventura takes exception to President Donald Trump's inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame. The former Governor of Minnesota, wrestler, color commentator, actor, and Navy frogman has always been critical of Trump over the years and that sentiment reared its head during his appearance on " Piers Morgan Uncensored .
" Ventura was shown a clip from WrestleMania 20 in which he said the country could need a wrestler in the White House in 2008. That prompted Piers Morgan to remark that Trump had been inducted into the Hall of Fame before taking office, leading Ventura to entirely dismiss that notion. "I feel that simply I was doing my job, I was doing what I was asked to do at the WWE," Ventura said.
"Trump being a Hall of Famer is a tragedy, this guy has never been in the ring. I got a good friend, Ken Patera, Olympian, first man to overhead press 500 pounds. 25 years in the wrestling business.
Kenny Patera is not in the Hall of Fame. Donald Trump does not belong in the wrestling Hall of Fame. " Ventura continued to say, "When I was referring to putting a wrestler in the White House, I was talking about me, not him.
