Jim Ross responds to Jesse Ventura's claim that Hulk Hogan was paid more than every other wrestler combined for WrestleMania 3, comments on Ultimate Warrior and WWE speculation

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights.

-Ross on Jesse Ventura: "Read a sensationalistic statement by Jesse 'Call Him The Governor' Ventura where he said that Hogan made more money than the entire card at WM3 which is either another embellished statement from the author and host of 'Conspiracy Theories' or the old documents that I have, have been 'swerve worthy' for years. My guess is that the former is true rather than the accounting info that I read. Plus, it's discretionary income that is distributed any way so...what the hell? Just let it go. There were lots of great bouts at WM3 of which one can argue but the story was the event was one match, Hogan vs. Andre. End of story.

Powell's POV: The ball is in Jesse's court to prove that he's not just shooting his mouth off again. Governor? Um, don't get your hopes up for proof of Jesse's latest "conspiracy theory."

-Ross on Ultimate Warrior: "The same two or three Warrior fanatics email me virtually every day about what I have heard about Warrior and WWE. I'm tapping here. I've heard nothing. What one hears today could change tomorrow. I don't know the relationship between the two entities. I honestly don't care about their relationship. Why? Because I can't affect it one way or another. If the two aforementioned parties are happy with whatever they are feeling then I am ecstatic....borderlining on euphoria."

Powell's POV: The rumblings started because WWE added Warrior to the opening mix. There was a report a while back that negotiations to have him be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame fell through, but there is speculation because of the video that the situation may have changed.
