Jesse Ventura says "MMA is Fake" on the Howard Stern Show:

Jesse said that he doesn't believe the fights that are on TV. He said that fights on the street are over in 30 seconds and those TV fights last for 25 minutes. He said that they're working stiff as far as he's concerned.

What a dumb bitch.

by Luke Thomas on Jul 30, 2008 10:11 AM EDT reply actions

Especially coming from a former pro wrestler.

We’re suprised these comments are coming from a guy who thinks the WTC was imploded by our own Gubmint???

So the same dude who thinks fire cant melt steal thinks MMA is fake. I guess blacksmiths are fake as well.

The jet fuel burned off in a few minutes according to the official FEMA report and you can see the fireball took a lot of it.

The heat sink effects of even a small piece of metal sucks away the heat applied to it. How does an office fire melt enough steel in all of the 47 columns to initiate the uniform collapse at free-fall speed (no resistance in the floors below) within 1 hour for the south tower and 1 hour 45 minutes for the north? There were about 100 thousand tons of steel per tower, which is about one thousand tons of steel per floor. That’s quite a heat sink and it explains why other much smaller steel towers refused to collapse after burning for 24 hours. Think about it: an office fire versus one thousand tons of steel per floor.

ALso, how does an office fire melt and then eject even one 20 ton steel beam up to 500 feet, let alone the thousands of steel beams (some admittedly as light as 4 tons) that can be seen ejected huge distances in the videos? Wouldn’t gravity pull those beams down rather than out?

Jesse is a very brave patriot for pointing out these facts.

Isn’t Charlie Sheen saying the same thing about the WTC?

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions

Charlie Sheen is also a brave patriot.

I think.

Shit, I’m confused.

AHHHH!!! AHHHHH!!!! These things have invaded the last sacred space on the internet where I could go to hide from them!!!

GODDAMNIT. Talk about MMA, not conspiracy theories!

by AJB on Jul 30, 2008 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions

Hmm...

You do of course realize that the History channel debunked those “facts” a couple years ago right? What rock have you been sleeping under?

Also, heat sinks don’t work if everything else is that damn hot! That’s why the heat sink on the CPU in your computer has a fan, to either blow cool air across, or vent to hot air be produced.

You apparently never held a pen spring before either, if you push down on it at a slight angle it bows and the goes flying across the room.

The history channel can explain it better than I, but unfortunately I don’t have a link to the video.

by EnsignFrog on Jul 30, 2008 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions

I have an article at Popular Mechanics that might help.

by zeroword on Jul 31, 2008 1:23 AM EDT up reply actions

Sorry, a link. Its not my article.

by zeroword on Jul 31, 2008 1:24 AM EDT up reply actions

The history channel promoted the pancake theory of floor collapse but even the government says that cannot explain the collapse. The pancake theory only works if there are no internal core columns. Somehow The History Channel forgot to include them in their analysis. 418 Architects and engineers who’ve been shown the facts agree the buildings had to be demolished with explosive and or cutter charges. See Architects and Engineers for 911 truth at ae911truth.org.

The most convincing opinions for me since I’m not an expert come from ex military and intelligence agents. See patriotsquestion911.com

The questions this makes me want to ask are:

Why is wrestling so obvious about being fake? The fake punches while kicking the mat, the bouncing and running off the ropes, the refs never having any control?
Why don’t the promoters get the results they want? The surest sign that the UFC is real, for instance, is that only 2 of their champs speak English as their first language. Who in their right mind would even hire people that speak more French or Portuguese when there are so many qualified Americans who can fake fight?

My first question was: Who?
Then I wiki’d him. Governor AND pro wrestler? Wow. Just about anyone can run for office these days, huh?

by Gong on Jul 30, 2008 11:02 AM EDT reply actions

Are you serious? How is that relevant to the topic at hand?

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 11:16 AM EDT up reply actions

It brings anything he says into question. The fact that he is now also a governor shows he is also an attention whore.

by Benicio on Jul 30, 2008 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions

Wow!

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 5:32 PM EDT up reply actions

If not for the 25 minutes thing, I’d think he was watching too many Ken Shamrock matches.

by asa on Jul 30, 2008 11:16 AM EDT reply actions

great interview

I liked it and really thought that was the real Jesse “The Body” Ventura…
You have to really know the guy, and have read his books to understand him. yeah he walked on MMA, but don’t hate the man for expressing his opinion.
Look at his resume:
SEAL
WWF
Actor
Senator

do some research next time before flaming on someone who may know a little more then was let on in this interview

by AJCOTE on Jul 30, 2008 11:36 AM EDT reply actions

Actually

You should do some research: he was never a Senator.

by Luke Thomas on Jul 30, 2008 12:01 PM EDT up reply actions

sorry

Governor….
senator governor same thing to me a Canadian

by AJCOTE on Jul 30, 2008 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Booo, making Canadians everywhere look like idiots :( Opinions are one thing, outright stupidity is something different. My guess would be that he’s watched a grand total of zero 25 minute long MMA matches.

by LiuLang on Jul 31, 2008 1:13 AM EDT up reply actions

... not much of an actor, too

by HoustonRaven on Jul 30, 2008 2:29 PM EDT up reply actions

He wasn’t the worst actor in Predator.

Thanks to another Governor….

And yet no acting nods from the Oscars. Sad.

“I ain’t got time to bleed” Jesse Ventura.

You guys talk all the smack you want but if you’re going to degrade his work as one of the baddest movie characters ever then you’ve crossed a line good sirs!

by Day Man on Jul 31, 2008 2:26 AM EDT up reply actions

I thought his military experience was questionable.

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 11:38 AM EDT reply actions

SEAL

He was a SEAL, back when you actually had to do something to become one, not just show up.

by AJCOTE on Jul 30, 2008 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions

It’s not like that now. I was in the Navy and trust me to become a SEAL you are busting balls everyday thru SEAL basic training, you are vomiting thru the workout drills, it’s no cakewalk.

How would a Canadian know about SEAL training anyway? Enlighten me.

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions

easy

Google

no seriously, I have a few retired seal friends and after a few beers (hic) they startup about how it was and how it is…..

by AJCOTE on Jul 30, 2008 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions

yea right….

by zeroword on Jul 31, 2008 1:26 AM EDT up reply actions

If MMA was all fake..

...You wouldn’t be able to bet on it. Sure there might be a fix or two, but that even happens in tennis (a lot in tennis). The smart men in vegas would not let you or anyone take there money to build this vast MMA conspiracy.

by szucconi on Jul 30, 2008 11:47 AM EDT reply actions

Good point, as you can’t bet on any of the WrestleMania’s, Rumble’s and other events.

by lovingmma25 on Jul 30, 2008 11:50 AM EDT up reply actions

thats kinda funny

I ran across a bookie that was taking bets for the “Main” PPV’s and not in the ‘who’s gonna win’ line but how? will ladders be involved, blood… etc

by AJCOTE on Jul 30, 2008 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions

If MMA was all fake...

THAN that is one huge fucking conspiracy. ..

I’m so stupid!

The government must have gotten to everyone I know involved in MMA, right after they planned the 9/11 attacks. It’s all the further the agenda of the bush-led military-industrial complex!

How could I have been so blind?

by EnsignFrog on Jul 30, 2008 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions

A walking stiff talking about working stiff. It’s kinda funny really. It’s a complement. The fighters and fighting look so good that he doesn’t think it can be real.
