During another interview with Chris Van Vliet, Ventura stated that the last time he spoke to McMahon was around 2010, when he had pitched some ideas to him for future creative plans involving him after his return as Raw Guest Host in 2009. Ventura claims McMahon never responded.
"I flew home - he didn't even bother to call me to turn me down. I thought that was the most disrespectful thing. First and foremost, when I flew out there, he made me wait an hour, and I'm the former Governor. I'm out of office now and then I shoot him this angle. If he had just called me and said, ‘Jesse, it's too crazy, it's too hokey, I don't think we can do it,’ I would have said fine, I gave it a try, but he didn't even call me back. That was so disrespectful to me, as Governor Jesse Ventura, as Jesse Ventura the man, and it's Jesse Ventura who made Vince a ton of money."
