Jessy Ventura?
Has anyone else noticed that the commentary by Jessy "The Body" Ventura has been taking out.The match bewtween Warrior and Rick Rude at Wrestlemania 5 and against Hogan at 6 they have removed the commentary by Ventura.You only hear Gorilla Mansoon.
Anyone else noticed this and have anyone an idea of why?

It was removed due to royalties issues with Jesse Ventura. He won a lawsuit against the WWF in 1994 and the WWF had to pay him over half a million dollars in back royalties for tapes on which he done commentary. So to avoiding paying him more big sums of money, the WWF just mutes out his commentary on most of their DVD releases.
