Governor? Forget it. Pro wrestler Hulk Hogan wants to be president.

Hogan bellowed his political ambitions during a televised "Monday Nitro" match in New York earlier this week, while sporting hip-length white and black feather boas.He credited one-time wrestling rival Minnesota Gov.-elect Jesse Ventura with opening the door. "Jesse the Body, Jesse the Mind: Hollywood Hogan and the wrestling world salute you, brother," Hogan said.

But Ventura is no fan of Hogan. "He's copied me throughout his entire career. I was a pro wrestler first. He's nothing but a Jesse wannabe," he said.
