Not sure about Jesse being a piece of shit, he's definitely a bit of a narcissist with a penchant for overexaggerating, but he's also pro-marijuana, pro-LGBTQ, and pro-human rights.
He's also Minnesotan so my blinders are on full blast
I am with you on this and I guess we're in the minority here. I have always liked Ventura. I don't always agree with him, but you know that he will always give his honest opinion no matter what anyone thinks. He cannot be intimidated.
I wouldn't say he is a narcissist in the true definition of the word. That word gets thrown around a lot lately and usually it is misused. It's like a few years ago where Quora was overrun with people who claimed to be psychopaths but were too stupid to even know what a psychopath was, beyond watching "Silence of the Lambs." That's just the psychologist in me being picky. But I do understand what you mean.
I would say he's definitely an asshole in some ways. But I agree with a lot of his stances on social issues. I also always liked him as a commentator. I don't think I ever enjoy a commentator saying anything more than I enjoy "Shut up, McMahon!"
Regarding the issue, Jesse has always been pressing for a union for pro wrestlers. He likely thinks that with McMahon gone, that this might become more probable. I would expect him to address this issue soon if he does get involved.
But I am a fan too, so I would happy to see him.
