Jesse Ventura Alleges Deal Behind Trump’s WWE Hall of Fame Induction

The former wrestler used a Piers Morgan interview to air unverified claims about Trump’s ties to Vince McMahon.

Overview

  • Ventura, appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Tuesday, alleged Trump’s WWE Hall of Fame spot came from stopping a probe into Vince McMahon over sexual misconduct.
  • Trump was inducted in 2013 for hosting early WrestleManias and a made‑for‑TV storyline, a record Ventura says does not merit Hall of Fame status.
  • He offered no evidence for the accusation, and outlets covering the exchange labeled the charge unsubstantiated.
  • He also questioned the 2024 rally shooting, invoking a “blade job,” a wrestling tactic where a performer makes a small cut to draw blood.
  • The July 2024 attack in Butler, Pennsylvania killed one attendee and grazed Trump’s ear before Secret Service snipers killed the gunman.
